What Age range is appropriate for massage or energy work?
All ages! I was trained in prenatal and postpartum massage and have done massage on newborn infants mostly in the context of showing parents how to calm gassy bellies etc. Young children sometimes enjoy massage but generally I have not done full sessions on children until around 7 or 8 yrs of age. Even then, we sometimes do half an hour. Teenagers and adolescents get a lot of benefit from healthy touch which enforces better body image, body mechanics with studying and sports activities and helps relieve some of the many stresses young people are faced with. I have also had some very powerful polarity sessions with teenagers suffering trauma or anxiety. Elderly people are often neglected of healthy touch. I have had numerous elderly clients with so many physical issues and so much pain. I even had the honor of working with an elderly woman with cancer weekly until she passed.
