Massage is especially beneficial for older adults, who aren’t as mobile or flexible as they once were. Patricia Johnson Bodyworks has proven experience with older adults. Owner Patricia Johnson has worked for several years as the massage therapist for Aegis Senior Living in Ventura.
A wide variety of age-related conditions are helped by massage, including:
• Muscular stiffness
• Arthritis
• Skin discoloration
• Muscle and bone deterioration
• Tendonitis
• Bursitis
• Respiratory problems such as asthma and emphysema.Often, the simple pleasure of human touch is invaluable. The overall sense of well-being provided by therapeutic massage often motivates seniors to improve other aspects of their lives – including diet, exercise, and general health care.
Even a hand or foot massage can enhance body awareness, sensation and circulation in an aging body.
However, it’s important to be familiar with the special needs of older adults with special health conditions. Arthritis, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis are some conditions that must be approached with care and knowledge. That’s why it’s a good idea to hire a massage therapist experienced with these conditions.
At Patricia Johnson Bodyworks, the patient’s comfort level is always a top priority. Massages can also be provided on a fully clothed person in a chair or wheel chair.
