What Is Geriatric Massage and why is it important?<\/h2>\n

The term ‘Geriatric’ refers to health impairments that are caused due to the aging process. Touch is the core ingredient of\u00a0 massage, which combines science with art, and conveys a sense of caring. Seniors often experience fragility and isolation, and as a result can become withdrawn and\u00a0 depressed. Geriatric massage techniques performed by licensed therapists are safe, non-invasive and can help reconnect seniors to their bodies and minds.<\/p>\n
