Baby massage classes are in the process of being set up. It is available to parents, guardians and care-givers. It is a great opportunity for you to connect and spend quality time with baby and is greatly suggested for dad's, grandparents and other loved ones involved in the wellness and health of the infant. Multiple partners and parents are welcomed at the classes.
Children can also greatly benefit from massage therapy. As children are learning and exploring, their little bodies are growing, and with growth can come discomfort and pain. If they are in sports or are fairly active, injury and muscle strain can also arise. As well, school aged children tend to wear their backpacks incorrectly. Whether it is too much weight, on only one shoulder or packed poorly, it can lead to neck and back tension, leading to pain and discomfort.
Some benefits of massage therapy for children include:
relaxation
improved sleep
less pain with growth spurts
improved bowel movements
decrease headaches and neck tension
improved circulation
improved awareness of their body
improve healing speed
