Gentle Touch " A touch for health"
Advance Massage Therapy
"Where your body mind and spirit deserves a nurturing touch"
Pediatric Massage Services
Gentle Touch is the premier organization for infant and pediatric massage therapy throughout the Bahamas. Pediatric massage is a complementary and alternative treatment that uses massage therapy, or "the manual manipulation of soft tissue intended to promote health and well-being" for children and adolescents. The goal is to aide in reducing pain, anxiety, loneliness and fear when children are hospitalized or diagnosed with a debilitating medical condition. Pediatric massage takes into consideration each child’s individual physical development, cognitive and health care needs. From infants to adolescents, children benefit tremendously from receiving Massage Therapy. An impressive amount of research has been conducted on the effects of Massage Therapy for children with various conditions.
