pediatric tuina massage

A particular form of Tui Na Massage can be used to treat children, as a gentle alternative to acupuncture. Tui Na is an especially attractive option for treating children because it is so gentle and induces no unwanted side effects. Pressure points are activated without the use of needles, so the overall flow of energy can be manipulated, just as with the practice of acupuncture. Until the age of 6, children respond well to this gentle form of therapy.

Pediatric Tui Na works with restoring the energetic balance of the body, and can be used to treat several conditions, including nausea, lack of appetite, fever, nightmares, diarrhea, and bed-wetting. It is also very helpful to use Tui Na to prevent illness. Some easily identifiable symptoms – irritability, clinginess, excessive hunger and thirst, lack of appetite or redness in the cheeks – are precise signals of an energetic imbalance. It is the perfect time to use Tui Na to restore the balance and prevent actual illnesses.

In addition, Pediatric Tui Na promotes healthy maturation. Research has shown that babies and infants thrive from the touch of a loving parent. In fact, children who receive this sort of attention are healthier and gain weight properly throughout their development.
