Massaging a Child With Eye Fatigue: Eyelids

Video Transcript

"With your hands resting right here in the forehead we are going to go ahead and move on to the eyelids. Now when we are doing the eyelids this is one area where the skin is really thin and we don't want to apply a lot of pressure but it can be really soothing to just stroke across the eyelids. With your hands right here in the center we are going to go ahead and do some strokes on the eyelids but first we want to sooth across the eyebrows. So stroke across the eyebrows just getting the area warm and ready for some touch. When you're massaging or touching the eyebrows or excuse me the eyelids, you are not massaging, you're not applying any pressure, you are just doing a nice soft soothing stroke over the eyelids. Nice and gentle, no pressure. We're not pulling the skin, we're not doing anything. We're just trying to help stimulate that area to get this area to relax and not feel any eye fatigue or strain so just really light over the top of the eyelids and then down and around circling the eyes and then again back over the eyelids, nice and soft not pulling any skin, just nice and gentle and around. We are coming back up to the forehead, right to the center to wait and relax to do your next stroke."
