Children have busy days too.

Between school, after-school enrichment classes, sports, swimming and play, children have no shortage of activities to keep them busy during the day. Genki Kids Massage offers children a 60-minute session of complete relaxation and care.

Designed for children ages 4 to 12, this massage incorporates Japanese-inspired techniques with soothing massage strokes. It uses child-friendly massage oil and appropriate pressure to ensure the massage is as comforting for children as it is beneficial to their health.

Whether it is a child’s first massage, a birthday present for a child, or simply a way to give children some downtime after a busy week, Genki Kids Massage is designed to help children feel comfortable and relaxed as they enjoy their spa experience.

Why Genki Kids Massage?

Children experience massage differently from adults, which is why Genki Kids Massage is designed specifically around younger guests.

Instead of applying strong pressure or working deeply into the child’s muscles, the treatment emphasises gentle relaxation and ensuring the child is comfortable throughout the massage.

By combining Swedish-inspired massage strokes with Japanese massage techniques, therapists can adjust the pressure and pace of the treatment to suit the child’s age and how they feel during the treatment.

There is no expectation that the child will behave like an adult spa guest during their massage. If the child needs to move around, speak to the therapist, or take time to settle into the treatment, this is completely normal.

After all, our goal is to provide the child with an hour to slow down and experience massage at their own pace.

A Special Experience Beyond Toys and Screens

Instead of another toy, game or activity, Genki Kids Massage gives your child an experience that feels different, memorable and a little grown-up.

Who Is Genki Kids Massage For?

Genki Kids Massage can be a lovely choice for children who are:

  • Always on the move and naturally active
  • Regularly involved in sports, swimming or physical activities
  • Tired after school, enrichment classes or a busy week
  • Spending long hours sitting, studying or attending classes
  • Curious about having their first massage or spa experience
  • Celebrating a birthday or special occasion
  • Looking for a relaxing post-exam or school holiday treat

And sometimes, there does not need to be a special reason at all.

Just as adults occasionally need an hour to switch off, children can enjoy having some quiet time that is entirely for them too.

Give Them an Hour to Simply Slow Down

You already make time for their school, activities, hobbies and play.

Sometimes it is worth making room for rest too.

Genki Kids Massage offers your child a gentle introduction to massage in a setting tailored to their age and comfort, whether they are celebrating something special or simply deserve a little downtime.

And if this is their first massage and they would feel more comfortable with Mum or Dad nearby, you are welcome to stay with them in the treatment room.
