You’re never too young to benefit from therapeutic massage.
Massage is great for kids of all ages, from babies to teenagers. Of course, children aren’t just small adults; their bodies are constantly changing and growing. So there isn’t a single massage technique that’s right for every kid.
Infants and toddlers love physical contact. Jan can work with you to demonstrate techniques that parents and grandparents can use every day as a part of strengthening your bond. Skin conditions like eczema can be soothed with massage as well, and Jan can help you find oils or lotions to use on your baby’s sensitive skin.
Older children and teenagers often have more “grown-up” aches and pains. Heavy backpacks, sports injuries and growth spurts all can cause pain that can be relieved by massage therapy. Jan can also work with your kid to retrain poor posture and help avoid musculoskeletal issues down the road.
Parents are required to remain in the room during any session with children. Jan always works within each kid’s comfort level; no one is required to remove any more clothing than they feel comfortable doing.
Fully-clothed chair massage is also a great option for kids. In addition to sessions in her Portland, Maine office, Jan is available for on-site chair massage sessions at school fairs, orientations or other events.
