Youth Services
Massage for All Children, including those with Special Needs, and their families and/or Caregivers. Massage is an effective way to provide a child with physical comfort and security.
Does your child deal with Sensory & Development Conditions?
Therapeutic massage can increase attention span, reduce anxiety and integrate sensory & motor systems. Does your child have chronic pain: headaches, migraines? Is your child experiencing pain from repetitive injuries from sports activities?
Does your child have “Back Pack Fatigue”? Is your child worn out from getting up at dawn for a full day of school, followed by after school activities and staying up late to finish homework?
Regular massage can decrease frequency and intensity of pain & discomfort
Parent or Guardian must be present for all children 17 years and younger. Please allow an additional 15—30 minutes before the first appointment for needed assessment .
During sessions, parents and caregivers will have the opportunity to learn therapeutic massage techniques, with the emphasis on individualized instruction for each family.
Fees: Initial assessment is $40. Discounts are available.
Please Note: Our facility cannot accommodate children who do not have an appointment. The clinic is a place of relaxation for all clients. Please make other arrangements for your children while you are in the clinic. Therapeutic massage services are available to children 17 years of age with written parental permission, and they are accompanied by a parent &/or guardian.
