Gentle and effective massage for your aging parent or spouse
You want your elderly parent or spouse to be as healthy, happy and comfortable as they can be. Express your love for them with geriatric massage.
Geriatric massage addresses the physiological and psychological aspects of aging. This massage program results in an improvement in range of motion, posture, body awareness, and muscle tone. It provides a social outlet and caring touch for lonely or isolated seniors which can relieve anxiety and depression.
Not just for seniors
This program is also for people suffering from Parkinson's, dementia, fibromyalgia, depression, touch-deprivation, and other issues that can affect people at any age.
Balance and fall prevention
Falling among older adults aged 65 and over is common, costly and preventable. Each year, there are over 37 million older adult falls and 3 million emergency department visits due to falls. This program helps prevent falls by increasing flexibility of the lower limbs - calves, ankles, and feet. It's wonderful to see the smile on their faces when they move with more confidence!
Benefits of Senior Massage
• Improvement of the patient's quality of life and self-esteem.
• Improvement in length and quality of sleep.
• Relief of stress, anxiety, depression and loneliness.
• Alleviation of headaches and pain.
• Speeding up healing from injury and illness.
• Partial restoration of mobility lost due to Parkinson's, arthritis, etc.
• Mental and physical relaxation.
• Improvement in lymphatic flow which increases the excretion of toxic substances from the body.
• Post-surgical relief from pain after knee and hip replacements.
Included in the Senior Massage Program
This program includes regularly scheduled visits, gentle massage by skilled and caring therapists, post-surgical therapies, and feedback documentation for interested family and physicians.
Working with your doctor
We will work under the direction of the MD, chiropractor or other health care practitioner. This program speeds recovery from recent injuries and surgeries. Post-surgical programs may include Myofascial Release techniques to break up scar tissue and adhesions that can develop from hip and knee replacement, thus reducing pain and restriction. There may be times when it is appropriate to refer to other health care professionals.
