Paediatric Sports & Clinical Massage

​We offer paediatric sports and clinical massage sessions which are 30 minutes long and speicalised to address the unique anatomical and physiological needs of children and adolescents. A parent or carer will be required to attend the appointment with any child under 18. 

 

Clinical Applications

Beneficial for:

    •    Youth athletes requiring injury prevention, performance support, or rehabilitation

    •    Children with postural syndromes (e.g., upper crossed syndrome, flat feet, scoliosis)

    •    Adolescents recovering from orthopedic surgery or fractures

    •    Patients with hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) or Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)

    •    Neurodiverse children experiencing somatic tension or sensory integration challenges

 

Benefits:

    •    Improved circulation to enhance tissue healing and metabolic waste removal

    •    Neuromodulation through stimulation of mechanoreceptors, contributing to reduced pain perception and improved proprioception

    •    Myofascial release to address soft tissue restrictions that may impede movement or contribute to pain

    •    Lymphatic stimulation to support immune function and reduce oedema post-injury

 

Therapeutic Goals

•   Injury Prevention
Address muscular imbalances, monitor joint mechanics, and reduce soft tissue overload—particularly important during rapid growth phases.

•  Rehabilitation Support
Massage can be integrated alongside physiotherapy or medical treatment to enhance tissue healing and restore functional movement patterns.

•  Muscle Tension and Tone Regulation
Particularly helpful for children with high muscle tone, postural imbalances, or spasticity-related conditions.

•  Improved Biomechanics and Motor Patterning
By influencing neuromuscular control, massage may improve coordination and proprioceptive awareness.
