Active Adult Massage

Active Adult Massage is a form of therapeutic massage that is tailored to meet the individual needs of the aging population.  With the use of their hands the massage therapist can manipulate the soft tissue of the body to improve blood circulation, to relieve pain , and to increase range of motion. 
Gentle massage can also improve the length and quality of sleep, which is essential to overall health. Receiving massages regularly can reduce stress, anxiety, depression and loneliness. This is essentially important for active adults who live alone and may be touch-deprived.
Active Adult Massage can address many psychological and physiological aspects of aging and its associated diseases. Massage can assist in warding off depression, fatigue, anxiety and irritability by  providing a nurturing touch that is often absent in the lives
of older people.
Active Adult Massage takes age-related health conditions into consideration. Although aging is unavoidable, growing older gracefully can be accomplished with proper maintenance of the body. As a normal part of the aging process, the metabolism slows down. The body may experience digestive issues including constipation and reduced appetite. Gentle massage can often times stimulate the appetite and assist the body in digestion. 
With new cases of Alzheimer's and Dementia are on the rise, introducing Active Adult Massage early on can help to reduce the anxiety associated with these diseases. As the disease progresses often times the individual will experience increased bouts of confusion with regard to their environment or caretakers. A gentle touch can offer both comfort and familiarity. Massage Therapy can offer a gentle stimulant free approach to calming the individual in a positively healing manner.
