Even the most healthy individuals experience new pains, aches and other issues as they age. Later in life, people are more likely to suffer from arthritis, joint pain, muscle aches and other issues.
While the aging process will always present new issues, people can find relief via natural methods such as massage therapy. As a certified massage therapist, I am experienced in providing a full catalog of massage services which can be customized to meet the unique needs of my clients, and over the years I have worked with many seniors to help them live comfortably.
In the sections to follow, I will discuss a few aspects of my senior care massage therapy services to give you a better idea of how it can positively impact your life or help your loved ones feel their best.
Improve Mental Health
The mental health of seniors is an important consideration and is sadly often overlooked. Between health issues arising, potential enrollment in an assisted living facility and the chance of losing friends or loved ones, there are plenty of reasons for an elderly person to struggle mentally. Massage therapy not only impacts physical well being, it also helps people to relax, recharge and feel their best mentally as well. The link between body and mind can’t be ignored, and by working with a massage professional who can address your unique needs, you can feel better not just from physical ailments but mentally as well.
Targeted Health Benefits
Massage therapy can take on many different forms, and as a certified massage professional I can apply many different techniques to address a person’s unique issues. Massage therapy improves circulation, can help someone become more flexible, strengthen muscles and remove knots which cause chronic pain. In seniors, these benefits can help them move easier, sleep better and pursue their passions.
Customized Service for Seniors
Geriatric massages are done with care, using proven techniques but performing them at a lighter, gentler pressure and avoiding aggravation to conditions which are already present. In my service for seniors, communication is key and I work to ensure that a feeling of trust and comfort is in place from start to finish.
Massage for Recovery
Massage therapy is also helpful for people who are recovering from serious health issues like a stroke, surgery or major injury. Seniors are prone to issues such as these, and massage therapy is often prescribed to help them heal and remain comfortable while boosting the body’s natural healing properties.
If you are a senior looking for relief from common pain, to recover from an injury or simply looking to relax and recharge, massage therapy can play a big role in your overall health. I understand there are many questions regarding any health process for seniors, and I take great care to ensure safety for any clients.
