Massage for seniors or the aged is becoming increasing popular with the rise in ageing baby boomers. Massage provides an excellent substitute for elderly people who are seeking to treat a physical problem without having to take additional medications. However, the last thing a senior wants when receiving an aged care massage is a deep tissue massage.
Overall, an aged care massage will be very similar to a traditional massage, with a few exceptions. What’s of paramount importance is that the fully qualified therapist must ensure that the elderly person’s body is treated with kind, gentle and loving care.
Our fully qualified aged care massage therapists ensure that the elderly person’s body is carefully and gently positioned on the massage table, ensuring that they are comfortable. Where there are mobility challenges, such as a walking frame or wheelchair, the therapist can easily accommodate the senior’s health concerns by arranging a massage in a chair on on the bed.
The most common areas for an aged care massage therapist to concentrate on will be the seniors’ hands or feet. So much relief can be provided to an elderly client, particularly if there is poor circulation or the client doesn’t have full use of their hands or feet.
