Like adults, kids these days have jam-packed lives– heavy backpacks, sitting at desks for long periods, sports and other extra-curricular activities, homework and growing pains. Added to these are the social anxieties and emotional stresses that often accompany childhood and adolescence. It is important for young people to develop healthy strategies for combating stress and maintaining a healthy lifestyle at an early age. Massage therapy is shown to significantly reduce stress on both physical and psychological levels.
In children with health problems including diabetes, asthma, and skin or arthritic problems, massage has been found to be very effective. It is now also recommended for children with cancer, and it is felt that the reduction in a child’s stress boosts the immune system and its ability to resist diseases. Children who suffer from autism, hyperactivity disorders and psychiatric problems have been known to benefit extensively from massage therapy.
Massage therapy is beneficial to children of all ages– infants, preschoolers, teens and young adults– and making massage a routine in their lives can help them grow into balanced and mature adults.
