Seniors and massage therapyThe majority of massage clients at spas and health centers are between the ages of 20 and 40. It’s a mystery why, after a certain age, we stop allowing ourselves to enjoy a little R&R.
Now, imagine being in your 70s or 80s: you notice your body is more fragile, you get bruised more easily and you’re more vulnerable to a fracture. Add to that your sense of modesty and restraint, not to mention living on a fixed income. Would a massage be your priority? Not likely! These are some of the challenges older people face that prevents them from treating themselves to a well-deserved massage. It’s a shame because no one could reap the physical and emotional benefits quite as much as seniors.
