How It Works
All our massages sessions are done on a massage table where one part of the body is discovered at a time. Sheets are handled with great care to ensure warmth and intimacy.
The parent is invited to remain in the treatment room during the session where we use a hypoallergenic product line specialized for children’s skin. At the end of the session, we will share our observations and we will also show you some stretching and massage techniques to complete the treatment at home. Therapeutic techniques are suggested to children who practice sports on a regular basis. This approach helps to relax certain tensions and prevent injuries.
