Adolescent and Young Adult

At The Twisted Willow Spa, we recognize that adolescents and young adults have unique physical, emotional, and developmental needs. Our Adolescent & Young Adult Massage Therapy services are designed with a clinical, therapeutic approach that supports healthy growth, musculoskeletal balance, and overall wellness during these formative years.

Adolescent & Young Adult Massage Therapy (Ages 10-17)

During adolescence and early adulthood, the body undergoes rapid growth, hormonal changes, increased athletic demands, and heightened stress levels. These factors can contribute to:

  • Postural imbalances

  • Muscle tension related to sports or physical activity

  • Growth-related discomfort

  • Headaches and neck strain from device use

  • Stress, anxiety, and sleep disturbances

Our sessions are structured using evidence-informed therapeutic techniques appropriate for developing bodies. Pressure and techniques are carefully modified to respect growth plates, joint stability, and tissue sensitivity. When indicated, we incorporate elements of therapeutic, neuromuscular, and relaxation-based massage to address specific concerns while promoting parasympathetic nervous system activation and recovery.

Treatment plans may focus on:

  • Supporting athletic performance and recovery

  • Reducing muscular tension and fascial restriction

  • Improving circulation and lymphatic flow

  • Assisting with stress regulation

  • Encouraging body awareness and healthy self-care habits

All sessions are conducted with professional boundaries, clear communication, and informed consent. A parent or guardian is required to complete intake documentation for minors, and guardian presence is welcomed according to client comfort and state guidelines.

Clinical Oversight & Specialized Care

Massage therapist Mya, Bridget, and Kati are specially versed in working with adolescents and young adults. She understands the anatomical, developmental, and emotional considerations unique to this age group and applies a clinical, medically mindful approach to every session. Her goal is to provide safe, appropriate, and effective therapeutic care that supports both physical development and overall well-being.

At The Twisted Willow Spa, our adolescent and young adult massage therapy services are not simply scaled-down adult sessions—they are intentionally designed to meet the distinct needs of growing bodies in a professional, therapeutic setting.

 Sessoins are offered in 30, 45 and 60 minute increments.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call us for a complementary consultation.
