Treatments for Senior Citizens
| Every therapist needs to be aware of the special needs of older people and adjust their approach and treatment sessions accordingly.It is often necessary to liaise with other health care professionals to ensure that the treatments are appropriate and not contraindicated by health issues or other treatments being undertaken. |
Issues such as mobility, hearing or sight impairment, Alzheimer’s etc. may also have to be addressed with respect and understanding. Understandably some people would not wish to undress for a treatment, but this is fine, as most treatments can be given through clothes.
If it is not possible to treat with massage or Reflexology due to arthritis, parchment skin, mobility problems etc then Comfort Touch will most certainly be appropriate. Dawn has time and treatments for everyone, regardless of age or frailty.
