Massage for growing pains
Hi there,
I am a qualified massage therapist, specialising in deep tissue massage.
A client has asked me if I would be happy to massage their son, who is a 15 year old athlete struggling with very tight quads and adductor muscles.
Please can you tell me if there is a minimum age for my clients? Can I massage ages 12 to 18, when accompanied by a parent? My son is 13 and struggling with growing pains and general pains in the calves from football practice - he really feels the benefits of the massage work we do.
I would be grateful if you could confirm if this is something I can practice professionally and if so, what parental authirisation would be required.
Many thanks,
Claire
