Pediatric Massage

Pediatric Massage is an ancient and effective TCM therapy that focuses on the physical conditioning and health promotion of children. Using gentle manipulations, it provides comprehensive body care to promote the healthy growth of children.

Pediatric Massage originates from TCM theories, relying on concepts such as meridians, organs, and qi-blood. Through massage and stimulation of acupoints on a child’s body, it adjusts their physiological balance, promoting normal growth and development. The techniques used in pediatric massage are relatively gentle and mild, tailored to the physiological characteristics of children. They typically include pushing, grasping, kneading, pinching, and tapping, with a focus on relaxation and promoting blood circulation. The duration of one session varies from several minutes to half an hour.

Pediatric Massage is suitable for various issues during the growth and development stages of children, such as respiratory problems like allergies, bronchial asthma, colds, fever, cough, digestive system issues like food accumulation, constipation, diarrhea, and sleep disorders, lack of concentration, and other problems. It can also be used for preventive purposes and to enhance immunity, promoting normal physiological development, increasing energy circulation, digestion and absorption, boosting immunity, improving sleep quality, and providing supportive effects for common childhood illnesses.

Please be aware that if you want to try pediatric massage, professional and qualified practitioner is really important. The techniques should be personalized based on the child’s age, condition, and symptoms, avoiding the use of overly intense methods. Understanding individual differences in children is crucial to providing the most suitable care.
