Geriatic Massage uses the same technique as a general massage. However, it is specifically designed to meet the needs of elderly people. The hands are carefully used to manipulate the delicate soft tissues of the body to improve blood circulation, relieve pain, and increase the range of motion. It can help maintain and improve their overall health and regain certain physical functions that were reduced or lost due to aging. It can also relieve their anxiety and provide comfort.
At Chris & Chat Day Spa, a Geriatic Massage Therapy session takes 1 hour and 30 minutes. The service time is longer than a general massage session since each section of the body is carefully handled by our masseuse to ensure maximum benefit from the treatment. After the session, clients are advised not to take a shower for 24 hours to prevent any adverse effects on their body.
Geriatic Massage should not be used as a replacement for regular exercise or medical treatments for elderly people.
Never heard of this particular kind of massage, but it sounds like a lot of older people would really love it.
ReplyDeleteHi Denise! Thanks for the comment. Actually, even the not so old people will love this massage. My wife and I also had this massage after several days of cleaning up at home which made our muscles sore. Each section of the body is really massaged gently but firmly, which is why this takes an hour an a half. Give it a try when you get the chance =)
