Geriatric massage is a gentle, therapeutic form of bodywork designed specifically for older adults and seniors. It focuses on improving circulation, reducing stiffness and pain, and promoting comfort and relaxation without overtaxing the body.
Unlike traditional massage styles, geriatric massage uses lighter pressure, slower movements, and shorter sessions — often performed on a standard massage table, recliner, or even a bed or wheelchair for convenience and safety.
It’s about connection, comfort, and maintaining mobility — helping seniors feel cared for, supported, and at ease.
Who It’s Best For
- Older adults who want gentle, restorative touch
- Seniors managing arthritis, limited mobility, or muscle stiffness
- Clients in assisted living or home care settings
- Those recovering from illness or surgery but cleared for massage
- Anyone who simply wants a peaceful, nurturing experience
It’s perfect for enhancing daily comfort, improving flexibility, and providing meaningful human connection — something every person deserves.
Why Choose Geriatric Massage
Because touch matters at every age. Geriatric massage can:
- Improve circulation and joint mobility
- Reduce stiffness, pain, and swelling
- Encourage better sleep and relaxation
- Support emotional well-being and connection
- Help maintain independence and comfort
It’s one of the simplest, kindest ways to promote health and happiness for seniors — a reminder that care doesn’t have to be complicated to be deeply meaningful.
How Mobile Geriatric Massage Is Performed On-Site
We make it simple for seniors to enjoy massage at home or in assisted living facilities. Here’s how it typically works:
- The therapist arrives with all necessary supplies — table, sheets, oil, and sanitizer.
- Depending on mobility, the massage can be performed on a bed, recliner, wheelchair, or massage table.
- The therapist uses slow, light strokes focusing on the hands, feet, shoulders, neck, and back.
- Sessions are typically shorter (45–60 minutes) and can be adjusted for comfort, temperature, or energy level.
The entire experience is quiet, caring, and customized — no stress, no rush, just gentle support.
Who Shouldn’t Get It
While geriatric massage is very safe, certain conditions may require extra care or medical approval:
- Severe osteoporosis or brittle bones
- Recent fractures, injuries, or surgery
- Uncontrolled high blood pressure or heart issues
- Blood clotting disorders or use of blood thinners
- Active infections, open wounds, or skin conditions
If the client is under a doctor’s supervision, we recommend a quick consult before booking. Our therapists always adapt pressure, position, and session length to ensure safety and comfort.
