Geriatric Massage is not just a lighter form of Swedish Massage. It involves specialized strokes and techniques designed for the aging skin and muscles. Join us to learn about the Walker Strut, the Scooter Slump, and more! A fun day learning about the most prominent muscles affected in the elder population. The morning portion in filled with important information on the aging process such as skin conditions, respiration, cardiovascular and and gastrointestinal challenges. In the afternoon students will learn to modify and customize a session for the aging and frail population. This will include a fully clothed massage and performing a massage while a client is seated in a chair or on a scooter. Ms. White has been volunteering in a retirement village for the past several years. She enjoys working with this population because TOUCH is one of the arts this population needs most.  She states” “Massage and bodywork can help them to move more easily which in turn gives them more freedom and independence.” With more than 65 million mature adults and counting- it's time to learn this massage skill set today!
