A Minimum Massage Age?

There is simply no minimum age to get a massage. Even a child may benefit from massage. There are certain rules and regulations in this aspect, which may vary from one centre to the next as well as local laws to ensure child safety. Don’t worry your practitioner is well-versed in all the requirements and will inform you. As a general rule, many centers will require an adult to be present, if the patient is under the age of 16, for example.

On of the big advantages of giving massages to the younger ones, it that it helps them to develop a healthy attitude towards their body and opens up this form of treatment as a way for ‘self-care’ as they get older and start making health care decisions for themselves.
