Massage treatment can be applied at any time during childhood but is especially beneficial during the ages of 8 to 16 where they may be experiencing growth spurts. When experiencing a growth spurt the child's bones will be lengthening at a greater rate than the surrounding soft tissues can such as muscles. Bone spurts can leave muscles in a state of constant tension, this is most apparent in the quadriceps and calf muscles. Massage therapy to tight muscles can result in a reduction in tension and pain.

Children's Reflexology

Children usually respond extremely well to reflexology as they are often more open and responsive than adults. Children do not hold onto years and years of stress and bad habits and often only two or three reflexology sessions can be beneficial. 

Reflexology has no boundaries in terms of age limit, so this makes it accessible to babies as well as teenagers. Reflexology may help not only with the physical functions but also the emotional changes that take place as we grow.
