    Has anyone needled a 10 yr old? A friend is visiting and her 10 yr old fell 1 yr ago in trampoline park and has had neck pain since then. Hard time w virtual classes due to pain. Palpable taut bands along levator, upper trap.

    Hi there! I have not needled someone this young, but know colleagues who have successfully. If they are willing and able to sit still for you, age (in and of itself) is not a contraindication. Biggest thing is obviously parental consent along with the child understanding what is happening. The neck and upper trap are obviously precarious areas so be sure to take that into account of your decisions and of course…only do techniques you are trained in. Hope that helps!
