What is the Children Massage Program?
The Massage in Schools Programme (MISP) is an international programme of positive touch and clothed peer massage (child to child massage) for children of age 2 to 12 years old. This successful programme, developed by Mia Elmsäter (Sweden) and Sylvie Hétu (Canada), was first introduced in England in 2000 and uses peer massage, story massage and kinesthetic learning to help promote wellbeing to children in the knowledge that nurturing touch is a basic need and a powerful tool to help children develop into healthy, well-balanced human beings. While not intended as a therapy, the approach in its simplicity helps children reduce stress levels, improve emotional intelligence and raised confidence.
