Hi Mia,
I am a mother of a boy. I would go to hospital or professional organization for massage if my son suffers physical discomfort or pain. Learnt from conversation with massage specialists, pediatric massage therapy/medical massage therapy is very welcomed for below scenarios:
1. Gastrointestinal problem: massage can help alleviate colic, constipation, reflux and abdominal pain in infants and toddlers by improving gut motility
2. Respiratory conditions: massage can help ease congestion, cough and wheezing in children with asthma or colds through chest and back massage
3. Sleep disturbances: massage can reduce bedtime resistance, night waking and insomnia by lowering cortisol and promoting relaxation
4. Musculoskeletal issue: massage can relieve muscle tension, growing pains, post-injury soreness and stiffness from conditions like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy
Massage therapy/medical massage therapy is popular today because other than targeting physical symptoms, it can also improve mind-body linked issues such as stress, anxiety and sleep problem. It can be used as a regular method for daily health care, rehabilitation assistance and preventive conditioning.
But massage's advantages are auxiliary and complementary, it cannot completely replace medication/injections for the treatment of acute, severe or infections diseases.
Hope above can help. Thank you
