Key facts about the Peer Massage in Schools Programme:

  • It is fun and relaxing!
  • Taught by a trained instructor
  • Always voluntary; teaching children the right to say "No!"
  • Done fully clothed - on the back, arms, neck and head
  • In school, massage is done child-child or adult-adult, never adult-child
  • Reduces stress hormones and stored tension
  • Increases feel-good hormones in the blood e.g. Oxytocin
  • Giving as well as receiving massage increases wellbeing
  • Supports a calm environment, improved concentration and learning
  • Helps develop confidence and self-esteem
  • Teaches children to respect one another
  • Supports empathy and relationships; reduces aggression and bullying
  • Helps motor skills and the ability to visualise things (using left and right brain)
  • Enables children to safely learn the difference between “good” and “bad” touch

This may seem like a tall list of claims, but the benefits of positive daily touch are now well supported by neuro-scientific research. Find out more by going to:
