A Simple Touch Routine You Can Use in Your Very Next Pediatric Session
Get a 2–3 minute therapeutic touch routine with video demo support so you can help children settle, transition, and participate with more confidence.
When a Child Is Dysregulated, You Need a Place to Start
This kit gives you a simple, repeatable routine for the moments when a child is fussy, tense, overwhelmed, shut down, or struggling to transition.
Support Regulation
Use slow, predictable touch to help prepare the nervous system before feeding, movement, play, or learning.
Improve Carryover
Teach caregivers a short routine they can actually remember and repeat at home without overwhelm.
Save Session Time
Use a 2–3 minute sequence instead of guessing what to try when a session starts off dysregulated.
The Routine Is Simple: Legs, Feet, Then Back
You do not need a long routine to start. You need a predictable sequence that helps the child feel safe, organized, and ready for what comes next.
Legs
Start with slow, rhythmic strokes to help reduce tension and prepare the body for participation.
Feet
Use gentle pressure to support grounding, body awareness, and a calmer transition into the session.
Back
Finish with long, steady strokes to support relaxation, regulation, and connection.
How Different Providers Can Use It
The same short routine can support different clinical goals depending on your setting, discipline, and session focus.
Feeding Sessions
Use before feeding work to support calming, body organization, and readiness for oral-motor engagement.
Early Intervention
Coach caregivers through a short routine they can use during daily transitions, bedtime, or fussy periods.
Sensory Support
Use as a predictable calming routine for children who struggle with transitions, engagement, or touch tolerance.
OT/PT Sessions
Prepare the body before positioning, stretching, tummy time, motor play, or movement-based interventions.
SLP Sessions
Support regulation before communication, feeding, play-based interaction, or caregiver coaching.
Home Programs
Give families a quick tool that feels manageable, repeatable, and easier to carry over between visits.
What’s Inside the Starter Kit
This Is a Starter Kit — Not a Certification
This is the easiest entry point if you want to begin using therapeutic touch with more confidence. If you later want the full clinical method, diagnosis-specific protocols, CEUs, documentation tools, and certification, the Certified Infant Massage Coach course is the next step.
