I am certified in geriatric massage, a technique specifically designed for older adults. I work with anyone medically able to receive massage, particularly people with dementia, in assisted-living facilities, or confined to wheel chairs or hospital beds. It is non-intrusive. The person does not have to undress or move from their location. This special massage improves circulation, enhances relaxation, and helps reduce stiffness and the aches and pains of the day. For people in nursing homes, it helps break the routine with a pleasant neck, back, or foot massage. I am associated with retirement communities and assisted-living facilities where I give massages on a regular basis to their residents.
