Paediatric Reflexology - A Practical Guide to Working with Infants, Children, and Teens
Paediatric Reflexology: A Practical Guide to Working with Infants, Children, and Teens
Children are not simply smaller adults. They respond differently, communicate differently, and require a thoughtful, adaptable approach to reflexology sessions.
Paediatric Reflexology provides a clear, practical framework for working with infants, children, and teens in a professional, safe, and supportive manner.
Rather than focusing on diagnosis or treatment, this book emphasizes observation, gentle techniques, and appropriate adaptation based on each child’s stage of development. Practitioners are guided to adjust pressure, pacing, and session structure while recognizing behavioural cues as meaningful communication.
This practical approach allows reflexologists to provide supportive sessions that prioritize comfort, cooperation, and overall well-being while staying fully within scope of practice.
