Reflexology for babies, children and teens
Reflexology isn't just for adults. Babies, children and teens love it too!
Having witnessed first hand how reflexology has helped support my own children through times of illness and unrest, I decided to learn more about two very special techniques called Gentle Touch Reflexology for Babies and Children and Functional Reflex Therapy.
Gentle Touch Reflexology
Using lightest of touch, GTR is suitable for newborns all the way through to teens! It is incredibly versatile meaning you can give a treatment almost anywhere.
Some of the benefits include:
- aids relaxation
- promotes a sense of calm
- improves sleep
- improves mood
- additional techniques to help with teething and digestive issues
Functional Reflex Therapy
FRT can support the wellbeing of children through out the school day with communication issues, high levels of anxiety, Austistic Spectrum Disorders, profund and multiple learning difficulties and intellectual disabilities.
The primary intention of reflexolgy on the timetable is
- to encourage relaxation 'in the moment'
- to reduce anxiety and help improve mood
- to support wellbeing
- to enjoy the use of the FRT tool kit supporting communication issues
- to nurture pupils in their preparation for ongoing activities
- for the therapist to work as a valuable member of the multi-disciplinary team
