Massage can be done for a person of any age, but many therapists and clinics require parental consent on minors and will often require a parent or guardian to be present in the room while the massage is being administered. The therapist working on the young client should be the same sex as the client. Massage has been shown beneficial in infants all the way up to geriatric patients! When scheduling your massage, ask the therapist or front desk associates if they work with the age group you are trying to schedule.

∙ 14y agoYou can be any age to get a massage. Babies inside their mother's wombs can receive the benefits of their mother's massage. Infants, after the baby is born, can be massaged by their parents. It's called baby massage and it is best to have training by a massage therapist that specializes in teaching parents how to massage their infants. Juveniles between the ages of 3-15 can also receive Massage Therapy, but it is highly recommended that an adult guardian is present at the session. Young adults 16-18 years-old can receive a massage without a guardian present. Adults and the geriatric can all receive massage therapy whenever they feel they want a massage. In all cases, the most important thing is that they fill out a health survey so that the massage therapist can access whether a doctor needs to give clearance for the massage, and also it helps the massage therapist decide the most appropriate treatment modality for each individual client.

What common questions should you ask a massage therapist about fibromyalgia?
Before you see any massage therapist you should ask them if they are familiar with Fibromyalgia and how it impacts the body. They should be aware of the general tender points and trigger points. If you do not feel comfortable with their level of knowledge, you should seek a different therapist. You should ask your massage therapist what type of massage they feel will best benefit you, and how often you should return for best results. It is just as important to make them aware of how Fibromyalgia impacts you personally, since each patient is affected differently. Be sure to point out to them areas that are currently bothering you or that you prefer they avoid. It is also important that they are aware of any medications that you are on. It is important to keep an open dialogue during your massage. You should speak up if lying in a specific position is causing pain, or if they are applying too much pressure. Remember, a massage should not increase your pain. Also, remember to drink lots of water after a massage. Often, massage will allow the release of toxins, and increase lymphatic drainage, drinking water will help cleanse your tissues and provide a better result.
