Children benefit from massage too.

Playing sports, or musical instruments, carrying heavy bags around, dealing with social or exam stress can create the same sort of knots, aches and pains as they would in an adult body.

Making a difference

I spend part of my week working as a Massage Therapist for Tiny Tim's Children's Centre in Coventry, this charity provides free therapies for children from 0-18 years old with disabilities and special needs. I regularly see the enormous beneficial impact that massage provides many of these children and in turn, their families, read a testimonial here. I also hear how difficult it can be for those families to find a therapist willing to work with children.

A sample list of conditions encountered so far : Autism, ADHD, Anxiety, Brain Injury, Cerebral Palsy, Childhood Constipation, Developmental Delay, Downs Syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos-Hypermobility Syndrome, Hemiplegia, Sensory Processing Differences and a range of congenital conditions.

If you think massage would benefit a child or young person in your life, please get in touch.

Book Apointment
 

A body that is still growing can experience 'growing pains' and the view has historically been "they'll grow out of it" and in the meantime, not much can be done about it. Often there are identifiable factors to these aches: tight muscles, differences in joint mobility and anxiety levels can all contribute. The good news is massage can help relieve the symptoms and a bit of exercise advice can help develop functional movement patterns to carry through to adulthood.
