What our customers are saying
“
In my journey to help others through massage I have learned that one of the most under appreciated populations among us is probably the most in need of touch; senior citizens. As we age, it seems the touch we receive is less comforting and more clinical in too many cases. I speak of my experience in visiting assisted living. Most of the ladies and gents in these facilities rarely receive any meaningful comfort touch outside of family. And there is such a desperate need for it in the declining years.

Massage Therapy for a Special Population
As we grow older, our bodies slow down and we begin to experience some of the pain and stiffness that comes with aging. It may be difficult to stay involved with all the physical activities we once enjoyed due to chronic conditions like osteoarthritis or ailments like Parkinson’s disease.
Massage therapy for seniors can be an effective, non-invasive way to help alleviate some of the symptoms of many age-related conditions, especially when used to compliment traditional medical services. With regular massage, seniors can experience an improved quality of life, increased energy levels and feel younger and healthier overall.

Geriatric Massage: What is it?
Geriatric Massage is a specialized form of massage therapy designed to meet the specific needs of the elderly population. It involves the use of gentle but firm touch to manipulate the soft tissues of the body to improve blood circulation, relieve pain and increase range of motion. Active or passive movement of the joints may also be incorporated.
Unlike a traditional massage, Geriatric Massage sessions are usually limited to 30 minutes in length. The client can remain clothed and comfortably seated in a chair or lying in bed. The idea is to create a session that works with both the client's comfort level and their unique limitations and health conditions.
