  • Geriatric massage is a form of massage designed to meet the specific needs of the elderly population. It involves using massage hands to manipulate the soft tissues of the body to improve blood circulation, relieve pain and increase range of motion. Active or passive movement of the joints may also be part of geriatric massage.

    Elderly people often suffer from a variety of such age-related diseases as Parkinson's, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease or strokes. As a result, they have poor circulation and limited physical capability. Many of them are also anxious, depressed and lonely. Geriatric massage can help them maintain and improve their overall health, as well as regain certain physical functions that have been reduced or lost due to aging. In addition, it can relieve anxiety and depression and provide comfort to touch-deprived elderly patients and improve their quality of life.

     

    Geriatric massage offers the following benefits:

  • 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 of healing from injury and illness.

  • Partial restoration of mobility lost due to Parkinson's disease, arthritis, etc.

  • Mental and physical relaxation.

  • Improvement in lymphatic flow which increases the excretion of toxic substances from the body.
