Genki Kids Massage
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.
Key Benefits of Genki Kids Massage
Helps Busy Little Bodies Slow Down
After a day of running, swimming, sports and activities, a gentle massage gives your child dedicated time to rest and unwind.
Encourages Relaxation
Soothing massage strokes and a calm spa environment help create a quiet break from their usually busy schedule.
Gentle Care for Active Children
Genki Kids Massage provides a relaxing experience for children who spend plenty of time playing sports, swimming or simply being constantly on the move.
Introduces Healthy Downtime Early
It is a simple way to show children that taking care of themselves can also mean slowing down, resting and making space for quiet time.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What age is the Genki Kids Massage suitable for?
Genki Kids Massage is designed for children aged 4 to 12. The treatment is adapted to your child’s age and comfort level.
Can I stay in the room while my child has the massage?
Yes. If your child would feel more comfortable having you nearby, you are welcome to remain in the treatment room throughout their massage. You do not need to book a massage for yourself to accompany them.
Is Genki Kids Massage a deep-tissue massage?
No. Genki Kids Massage focuses on relaxation rather than intensive pressure. The therapist uses a gentler, age-appropriate approach and adjusts the pressure according to your child’s comfort.
What happens if my child becomes restless?
That is perfectly fine. Children are not expected to remain completely still, as adult spa guests do. If your child needs to move, talk or change position, the therapist can adapt the treatment where appropriate.
What areas of the body are massaged?
Genki Kids Massage is a full-body relaxation massage. The treatment is adapted to your child’s age and comfort while appropriate coverage and modesty are maintained throughout.
What massage oil is used?
Child-friendly massage oil is used to provide a smooth and comfortable massage experience. If your child has sensitive skin, allergies or other skin concerns, please let our team know before the treatment.
Is it suitable for children who play sports or swim regularly?
Yes, active children can enjoy Genki Kids Massage as a relaxing addition to their routine. However, the treatment is designed for relaxation rather than intensive sports recovery or deep-tissue massage.
Is this suitable for my child’s first massage?
Yes. Genki Kids Massage is designed to provide younger guests with a gentle introduction to massage. Parents are also welcome to remain in the treatment room if their child feels more comfortable having them nearby.
What if my child has a medical condition, injury or skin sensitivity?
Please let our spa team know before booking if your child has a medical condition, injury, allergy or skin sensitivity so we can advise whether the treatment is appropriate.
What is the difference between Genki Kids Massage and Parent & Kid Spa Day?
Genki Kids Massage is a 60-minute individual massage designed specifically for your child. A parent may stay in the room to accompany them without booking a treatment.
Parent & Kid Spa Day is a shared spa experience where a parent and child enjoy an onsen and a massage together in the same room.
