Massage Therapy For Seniors

Plano massage therapy and senior massage therapy

Massage therapy helps soothe the aches and pains associated with growing older. Many massage therapists are opting to learn massage techniques that are specifically designed to help the elderly. This age-specific massage is either called senior's massage or geriatric massage.

Seniors massage doesn't differ much in technique compared to massage for regular adults; the massage therapist does keep in mind that an aging body requires a little extra tender loving care. Specially trained geriatric massage therapists take great care in the positioning of an elderly client, and once positioned on the massage table, a senior will rarely ever be asked to move.
