                When to avoid paediatric treatment

                It is recommended to avoid Shonishin if your child has a fever, as the treatment may slightly raise their body temperature. Chinese massage (Tui Na) and Shonishin will not be used on your child's broken skin or areas of irritation, such as eczema for hygiene reasons.
