Massage therapy treatment for Children
For children, the massage therapy treatment focuses primarily on increasing body awareness: correct posture, feeling resilience in the body, and breathing. I invite the child to indicate what the body perceives, and tension is consciously released from the body. The child feels an increase of calm and physical resilience.

More information about the massage therapy treatment for a child
Massage therapy techniques are combined with body-awareness movement techniques. This is implemented in a creative way. Think, for example, of emotional expression/visualization during breathing and the movement technique. In this way, body-oriented focusing is combined with fun, and the release of (emotional/physical) tension is simplified. During the session, the child can feel how powerful they are. The child is invited to participate actively, resulting in fewer treatment sessions being required.

Practical information
During the child’s therapy treatment at least one of the parents or guardians needs to be present. Prior to the treatment, during the intake, the therapy treatment will be discussed for approval. After the therapy treatment, there is a short time to unwind. After the consultation took place, a free simple exercise is given to follow-up the therapy treatment at home.

According to Dutch law, prior to the child’s therapy treatment, consent from both parents/guardians is required for all children under the age of 16. For more details, please see the “Important Information” tab.
