Massage Therapy for Older Adults
Massage is often thought of as mostly just stress relief but actually, it has been shown to have a profound impact on numerous health conditions and can be increasingly beneficial as our bodies age.
Massage therapy is one of the oldest forms of medical care and involves applying touch and gentle pressure to the muscles and joints. For older adults, care must be taken to ensure that mobility needs and comfortable positioning is prioritised. For example, some older adults may prefer to receive massage therapy in a chair with a focus on the feet and hands.
Here are just some of the benefits that massage can provide:
- Improved circulation and blood flow to the limbs
- Improved quality of sleep
- Assist in stroke recovery by stimulating the affected areas
- Improved mobility and flexibility
- Can aid healing of soft tissue injuries
- Improved skin tone and function
- Relief from arthritic and muscular pain
- Increased production of serotonin and dopamine (the happy hormones) improving feelings of wellbeing
- Feelings of comfort and physical connection
