Geriatric

As the senior population grows and people live longer, the search is on for ways to cope with the multitude of issues associated with aging. Massage may be one of the answers. The elderly suffer disproportionately from arthritis, muscular stiffness, tendonitis, and bursitis.

Massage therapy addresses these issues by decreasing muscular stiffness and joint inflammation and helping to increase natural joint lubrication and range of motion. Massage also causes the release of endorphins, which can act as a natural painkiller. A number of recent studies have suggested that massage therapy can also help to improve communication and reduce anxiety in Alzheimer's patients.
