Gentle Care for Young Bodies
Specially tailored massage therapy for children and teens.
RMT - Pediatric Massage: For Children & Teens
Registered Massage Therapy (RMT) for children and teens involves specialized, gentle soft-tissue treatments adapted by qualified professionals to support young, developing bodies.
Benefits for Children and Teens:
Stress and Anxiety Relief: Lowers cortisol levels while boosting dopamine and serotonin to help manage school or social pressures.
Physical Recovery: Eases muscle tension and aids recovery for youth involved in competitive sports, dance, or heavy backpack strain.
Improved Sleep and Focus: Promotes relaxation, helps regulate sleep patterns, and provides nervous system support for conditions like ADD or ADHD.
Growing Pains: Relieves discomfort associated with rapid skeletal growth, postural imbalances, and tight muscles.
What to Expect During a Session:
Parental Consent & Presence: Parental or guardian consent is required for minors, and parents are usually welcome—or required—to stay in the treatment room.
Adapted Techniques: Treatments are shorter and lighter.
For younger kids, sessions may last as little as 30 minutes, often done while fully clothed or seated, utilizing storytelling or gentle touch. Teens can experience standard table treatments adjusted for comfort and tissue maturity.
Insurance Coverage: Because treatments are provided by a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), they may be eligible for coverage under extended health insurance plans.
