Qigong massage is the ideal therapy for parents looking for an alternative way to strengthen the mind, body and sensory abilities of their young child with autism aged 12 and under. Qigong massage has been used in China for thousands of years as a means to achieve health and wellbeing, and to treat a wide variety of ailments. For children, benefits of Qigong massage begin as the sense of touch gets support. Areas of pain resolve. Areas of numbness become more receptive. Engagement, awareness, and bonding grow stronger. These are the foundation for easy, natural social-emotional reciprocity, speaking and non-speaking communication, and more satisfying relationships immediately and throughout life.

On average, caregivers participating in Qigong massage report nearly 50% reduced parenting stress within the first six months. As parents become less stressed and children become more naturally receptive and engaged, the family flourishes and a world of safe, meaningful social connection becomes more accessible.

Results are often apparent within 30 days. Qigong massage is unique among approaches to autism care because it focuses on sensory engagement as a precursor of social-emotional-behavioral needs, helps children feel comfortable and connected to others, and improves lifetime outcomes.
