Children and family massage training now available at Thai-vedic massage (off Uplands road)

The Massage in Schools Programme (MISP) was created by Mia Elmsater (Sweden) & Sylvie Hetu (Quebec) in 2000. The Massage in Schools Association (MISA) they founded now has branches in over 20 countries. The child-to-child massage programme has been developed as an effective strategy for reducing children?s stress levels, tackling aggression and bullying, improving concentration and helping to reduce insomnia. MISP massage is:

- Performed over clothes

- For children 4-12 years old

- Given and received with the child?s permission

- Given by the children, to each other (or can be given by parents to their children or to parents by their children)

- Performed on the back, head, arms and hands

The MISP massage routine is only ever demonstrated by the Instructor on parents, on teachers or in the air. Thai-vedic?s therapist is now a certified MISP Instructor, qualified to deliver massage training to children and families or in schools. Massage training is offered:

- For individual families ? the MISP routine can be taught to up to 4 participants in Thai-vedic?s massage room: e.g. 2 parents and 2 children or 1 parent and up to 3 children. Alternatively, the routine can be taught to any sized family in your own home.

- For larger groups of children ? the MISP routine can taught in classrooms at schools, as an after-school activity or in local community centres, yoga studios or gyms by arrangement.

In addition to MISP massage, Thai-vedic has developed 2 Thai yoga massage training programmes for children aged 8-16 (delivered in the presence of at least one participating parent). Thai massage is performed through clothes, and only demonstrated by the Instructor on parents.

- Classes at Thai-vedic or in your home last for 1 hour to enable you to easily fit the programme into your schedule.

- The 3 massage training programmes are each designed to be taught as a 5 week course, with certificates awarded at the end of each course.

- A taster class can be arranged before you commit to the 5 week course.

- Children and families are encouraged to practice the massage routine at home between training sessions: practice makes perfect!
