Body massage for 12 years child ?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Massage: If a child has pain or tightness in a particular area massage can be beneficial. Massage can also be calming. Some people use massages as a treat like a mani-pedi. I am referring to massage by a licensed massage therapist (not massage for erotic purposes).

Stretching : Children at that age 12 years old, can experience a growth spurt causing shortness in muscle length. Thus the range of motion of the muscles is greatly diminished. Stretching is very important in a Pt like this. Especially if the child is active in sports. Proper technique is important.
