Because some older adults may be widowed, socially isolated or dealing with restrictive health issues, they may miss out on regular human touch, such as a warm hug, rocking a grandchild to sleep, or walking hand in hand with a loved one.
The social aspect is one of the main benefits of geriatric massage, particularly for seniors with limited social interaction.
With regular massage, seniors can experience an improved quality of life, increased energy levels and feel younger and healthier overall. Massage therapy offers numerous benefits to the entire body. It helps ease joint and muscle pain, and can even reduce the increased levels of stress that tend to come with aging.
Join Desiree King as she discusses the benefits of Reflexology & Therapeutic Massages with Janice Gordon Director of Fresh Spring Spa.
