About Seniors Massage

Massage for the elderly uses gentle, light pressure and stretching to address age-related issues like muscle tension, joint stiffness, poor circulation, and chronic pain such as arthritis. It offers benefits including increased flexibility, improved balance, better circulation, reduced stress and anxiety, and enhanced sleep quality. This specialized form of massage is a gentle, non-invasive approach that also provides emotional comfort and can aid in recovery from illness or injury.

Benefits of Massage for the Elderly

  • Pain Relief: Massage can help reduce muscle tension and trigger the release of endorphins, our bodies’ natural pain relief hormone.  This can help alleviate chronic pain from conditions like arthritis.
  • Improved Circulation: Massage stimulates blood flow, which is especially important as people age, and helps improve circulation.
  • Increased Flexibility and Mobility: Gentle massage and stretching can soften hardened muscles and increase joint flexibility, improving motion and mobility.
  • Enhanced Sleep: The relaxation and comfort provided by massage can lead to a more peaceful night’s sleep.
  • Stress Reduction: The calming effects of touch can reduce stress hormones, decrease anxiety and promote a state of relaxation.  Studies on individuals with dementia have shown that massage can increase endorphins and seratonin reduce adrenaline and cortisol levels, leading to a noticeable reduction in stress and agitated behaviour.
  • Emotional Comfort: The physical touch can provide a sense of care and comfort, combating loneliness and depression that some elderly people experience.

What People are Saying

“Transformative for my grandmother”

“As the closest living relative to my grandmother I see her more frequently than any other family, and see the kind of emotional and physical support she requires. She has a complex medical history including DVT, cancer, COPD and rheumatoid arthritis. The NHS services, such as physiotherapy, are often not able to meet her needs well enough to support her overall wellbeing. Finding independent practitioners was also a challenge, as it is essential that she see professionals that have an understanding of an older clients needs and chronic pain. So, Laura’s compassionate and empathetic approach, deep understanding of anatomy and physiology through the life span and the ability to see my grandmother in her own home – have been transformative for my grandmother. Body work from Laura has helped my grandmother to feel uplifted, to maintain better mobility and promoted her to take better care of herself. As a relative I feel reassured knowing that my grandmother is in the very best hands with Laura. Laura is trustworthy, highly qualified and treats her clients with the upmost care and respect.“
