Massage for Seniors

Massage For Seniors

 

Swedish Massage has shown to manage and soothe the effects of ageing. Illnesses such as arthritis, aching joints, swelling and general pain can be alleviated through massage.

Swedish Massage has wonderful effects for seniors. Clients can have improvement in range of motion, posture, body awareness, mental awareness, skin color, and muscle tone. These techniques can also help enhance blood circulation, improve balance and flexibility, reduce the pain of arthritis, increase joint mobility, and encourage overall well-being. Caring touch benefits the emotional well being of seniors as well — a population at greater risk of suffering from depression.

Swedish Massage can add to the quality of a senior’s life, physically, mentally and emotionally. It is highly beneficial for seniors as it helps to reduce and relieve pain.

Gerry graduated from Vancouver Island University in 2012 as an HCA/RCA (Registered Care Aide). He is trained in providing care and support services to seniors and their families in many different settings … residential facilities, group homes, private residences and community facilities. HCA/RCA’s assist people with activities of daily living, including personal care, mobility, hygiene, restorative activities and home management.

Because of Gerry’s training he is aware of issues such as the physical changes seniors go through. For this reason, the techniques he uses during a massage will be tailored to each specific client.

 

Consider booking a session for yourself or someone you love, and make a difference in their life.
