Elderly Massage (Senior Massage or Geriatric Massage)

Massage is becoming more popular with people of all ages; it is one of the oldest of all treatments used by man. Records go back 3,000 years documenting its use. Hippocrates wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems.

Today, massage is an accepted part of many physical rehabilitation programs and has proven beneficial to many chronic conditions such as low back pain, arthritis, and bursitis. With an increase in blood circulation the client may benefit from an increase in balance and flexibility, an increase in joint mobility, improved posture, combat depression, and encourage overall well-being. Massage helps relieve the stress and tension of everyday living. Seniors can remain independent longer if they are flexible and feel confident about how they look and feel.

The needs of each client can be taken into consideration for proper amount of pressure and use of various tools. The practitioner will leave the room while you undress, relax onto the table and cover yourself with a clean sheet. Throughout the session, you will be properly draped or covered. Only the area being worked on will be exposed.

A light oil or lotion may be used to permit your muscles to be worked on without causing excessive friction to the skin. The average full-body session lasts approximately one hour, but some clients enjoy shorter, 30-minute sessions.
