TCM child massage, or Paediatric Tuina, is a gentle, non-invasive Traditional Chinese Medicine therapy that uses acupressure and other manipulations on specific points on a child's body to stimulate energy flow and blood circulation, strengthen the immune system, and treat various common ailments like respiratory issues, digestive problems, and sleep disturbances. It's particularly effective for children under six, with techniques adapted for their delicate physiology and unique energetic pathways and can be used preventatively or to support recovery from illness.

How it Works

•      Meridians and Acupoints:The therapy works by stimulating acupoints along the body's meridians (energy pathways).

•      Qi and Blood Circulation:Gentle strokes, kneading, and pressure are applied to regulate the flow of Qi (vital energy) and Blood, which in turn helps to harmonize internal organ functions.

•      Tailored to Children:Unlike adult Tuina, paediatric techniques are specifically designed for children's unique physiological and energetic characteristics, often focusing on acupoints on the hand that are more prominent in children.

•      Complementary Care:It can complement Western medicine, particularly during the recovery phase of an illness.
