Massage therapy has proved to be extremely beneficial to residents in care and residential homes. I will perform these massages for residents on a one-to-one basis or as part of providing social activities that all residents can enjoy.
Massage therapy benefits the elderly as it addresses aches, pains and stiffness in addition to helping to keep the resident connected to those around them, helping with feelings of loneliness and isolation. Hand and Foot therapy is becoming increasingly part of the health regime of the elderly, both in and out of care facilities. Therapy results in improved finger and wrist motion, enhanced circulation and it alleviates the pain associated with arthritic and rheumatic conditions of the hands and feet.
