It’s summer! Your kids are running about! Each of them going in
opposite directions. Racing towards a different activity or sport.
All of this motion is great summer fun.
But there are also the accompanying bumps, twists and falls to
contend with.
The Vancouver-based Canadian Institutes of Health Research Team
in Child & Youth Injury Prevention note that, “Sport and recreation
injuries are a significant health problem in Canada, and leading cause of
injury requiring medical attention among adolescents.”
Their background information on sport injury study goes on to say
that, “Sport injuries account for approximately 50% of all injury to secondary
school students, with the medically treated injury rate for high school (HS)
(ages 14 - 18) and junior high school (JHS) students (ages 11-14) being 40 and
30 injuries/100student/year respectively.”
At Academy Massage Therapy, we have targeted massage treatments
for children and youth who have sports and recreation related needs.
Parents/guardians and their children under the age of 12 are in
the same room for the child’s treatment sessions. In fact, the parent and the
child may also both receive treatments are the same time!
Talk to us about our preventative and healing therapies provided
by our Registered Massage Therapists (RMT).
Please note, most insurance plans include coverage for children.
