What Is Geriatric Massage?

Massages are a type of complementary or alternative therapy. They may be an additional intervention that helps manage your health symptoms.

Geriatric massage is specifically geared toward a person of advanced age. Older people have special considerations to keep in mind when getting a massage. Our massage therapist will consider all the factors of aging along with a person’s specific health conditions when tailoring the massage.

Keep in mind that there’s not a one-size-fits-all approach to geriatric massage. Everyone is different, with unique health conditions and overall fitness.

Benefits of a geriatric massage
Geriatric massage may benefit you or a loved one for many reasons.

Many older adults lack positive physical contact with others regularly.

Other overall benefits of geriatric massage include:

1. Stress reduction
2. Improved mental outlook
3. Pain management
4. Increased blood circulation
5. Better sleep

Energy-Giving Benefits of Massage

Better sleep – Lack of sleep can be caused by increased levels of the energy-zapping stress hormone, cortisol which is responsible for higher stress responses in the body. Massage promotes quality sleep by decreasing cortisol levels and increasing brain chemical serotonin levels responsible for promoting deep refreshing slumber.

Improved Mood – Lowered stress from massage also helps stabilize mood as it increases dopamine and serotonin neurotransmitter levels. Both these chemicals balance mood, which can fight depression and leave more energy and focus for the enjoyment of life.

Massage For Muscle Tone

One of the critical ways that massage therapy contributes to improved muscle tone is by enhancing blood circulation. Proper blood flow is essential for the health and function of the body's tissues, particularly the muscles.

When a muscle is massaged, the physical pressure and manipulation applied to the tissues stimulate blood vessels in the area, promoting increased blood flow. This action can be compared to gently squeezing a sponge soaked in water - the pressure applied expels the old, stagnant water, and freshwater flows in when released. In a similar vein, massage aids in 'squeezing out' venous blood from the muscles and making way for oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood to flow in from the arteries.

In summary, by enhancing blood circulation, massage therapy can support muscle health and function, which may contribute to improved muscle tone when combined with regular physical activity.

Do You Get The Wintertime "Blues”?

Less sunlight in the winter and more time indoors can trigger what is known as “Seasonal Affective Disorder” in many people. SAD can prove to be a severe form of depression and reduce the quality of life for those with the disorder.

A recent article from the American Massage Therapy Association catalogs several proven ways in which massage therapy can counteract physiological mood factors that often accompany SAD. According to the AMTA, massage can:

Reduce anxiety and depression with a course of care providing benefits similar in magnitude to those of psychotherapy.
Increase neurotransmitters associated with lowering anxiety and decrease hormones associated with increasing anxiety.
Significantly decrease heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure.

And if winter has you down, why not schedule a massage?

How Massage Therapy Can Keep You Warm

With the winter months here, many of us feel the physical and mental toll that winter can bring. The colder weather can affect your body in many ways, from stiff muscles to dry skin. Fortunately, massage therapy is an excellent way to combat these winter challenges and keep yourself feeling warm, relaxed, and rejuvenated all season long.

Here’s how massage therapy can help you stay comfortable and balanced during the winter months:

1. Relieve Muscle Tension from Cold Weather
The cold weather can make our muscles contract and tighten, leading to discomfort and stiffness. Whether layering up in warm clothes or shoveling snow, your muscles can quickly become fatigued. Regular massage therapy helps to ease tension, increase circulation, and relieve tightness. A soothing massage will help your body feel relaxed and more comfortable, even in the colder months.

2. Boost Circulation to Keep You Warm
In the winter, the body tends to focus on keeping its core temperature stable, which can sometimes leave your extremities feeling cold. Massage therapy helps stimulate circulation by improving blood flow, which warms you up and helps maintain energy levels. By increasing circulation, a massage can help your body stay warm and avoid the sluggish, cold sensations that often come with the winter chill.

How Massage Therapy Can Improve Heart Health

In our fast-paced world, where stress and sedentary lifestyles often affect our health, prioritizing cardiovascular wellness is more important than ever. While traditional methods like exercise and diet play crucial roles, another powerful ally in maintaining heart health is often overlooked: massage therapy.

Massage therapy is renowned for promoting relaxation and alleviating muscle tension, but its benefits extend far beyond mere relaxation. Recent studies and ongoing research uncover compelling evidence of how massage can positively impact cardiovascular health, making it a valuable addition to a holistic approach to well-being.

One of the primary ways massage benefits cardiovascular health is through stress reduction. Chronic stress contributes significantly to cardiovascular problems by increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and the likelihood of inflammation in the circulatory system. Massage, with its ability to promote relaxation and reduce stress hormones like cortisol, helps counteract these adverse effects. By calming the nervous system, massage supports optimal heart function and lowers the risk of heart disease over time.

The Benefits Of Massage Therapy During Winter

Maintain Muscle Over Winter

It’s important to remain active during these cold months even though we are stuck inside more often. You can stay fit and active by doing indoor workouts and getting a massage regularly. It will help to stretch your muscles and keep your joints working properly, too.

Fight Dry Winter Skin

Dry, cold air can do a number on our skin because it draws the moisture out of it. Your skin can be dehydrated and flaky during the winter. Massage can help keep your skin moisturized because it assists in improving skin elasticity by inciting collagen production.
Because massage helps the skin to stay flexible and elastic, it can help keep it supple during the driest time of the year.

Massage Therapy for The Winter Blues

People looking to fend off the winter blues may find relief by integrating massage therapy into their health maintenance routine. Shorter days and colder temperatures leave many Americans feeling depressed and lethargic. Yet, studies show that regular massages improve mood and reset circadian rhythms, alleviating symptoms related to depression and stress, leading to better sleep and more energy.

People suffering from winter depression have reported excellent results from massage therapy, as the bodywork is specially designed to relieve the tension and fatigue that causes people to suffer physically and psychologically. A massage increases immune system functioning and helps people with rheumatoid arthritis.

Ready to unwind, rejuvenate and relax? Here are three reasons you need to get massage therapy this fall.

Gets You Ready To Take On The Fall And Winter Seasons
As stated, massage will help you relax. And that is ever-so-important as we prepare to enter the never-ending holiday season. Both fall and winter are chock full of holidays, shorter amounts of sunlight, and longer work days. Go to a massage therapy appointment before the fall season begins and prepare for these cooler months.

Heals, Aches, And Pains
Remember all those activities you got into this summer? Well, even if you’ve seemed to forget, your body hasn’t. It’s still feeling the repercussions of being more active than usual. Utilize the power of massage to relieve pain, soothe muscles, and get your body back in tip-top shape.

Boosts Performance And Increases Blood Flow
As it says, massage boosts performance and increases blood flow—which is beyond helpful to ensure your body and mind function at 100 percent. Improving your circulation will increase your body’s ability to provide oxygen to your muscles, and massage boosts your performance by leaving you more mobile and flexible than you were before you started treatment. The combination of increased circulation with improved flexibility and range of motion allows your body to run like the well-oiled machine it should be.

Massage therapy is excellent for many reasons and for any season!

Go Deep To Relieve Stress

Deep tissue: The best massage to relieve stress and muscle tension
Deep tissue massage can loosen painful “knots” and realign more profound layers of muscle through firm pressure and slow strokes. Your therapist will not only work on the usual muscles but on the connective tissue as well.

This is not an ordinary massage. It’s supposed to dig deep within the muscle to release trigger points and improve your mobility. You won’t be comfortable the entire time, but it will not be painful—feel free to communicate with your therapist to find the perfect balance between the “ouch pain” and “it feels good” pain.

We always take all the necessary hygienic precautions while massaging to protect you and our staff. We thoroughly sanitize each room before and after each client session.

A massage gift certificate tucked into a holiday card may seem unassuming, but the effects of this present will be powerful.
People turn to massage for stress relief, pain alleviation, and relaxation, and massage is appropriate for just about anyone from healthy adults to seniors and pregnant women to athletes. Massage therapy is also safe and beneficial for people living with conditions including cancer, fibromyalgia, and arthritis.

This is why treating the people on your gift list to massage makes sense this holiday season. Regular massage clients will know what to look forward to, and for someone who has never had a massage, a gift certificate can make his or her first session more accessible.

Here are four reasons why massage should be at the top of your holiday gift list, along with suggestions for massage and bodywork specialties to present to friends, colleagues and family:

1. The Gift of Stress Relief
The holidays can be filled with family, friends, fun, food and freneticism. Gift-buying, overeating, and travel can leave any merrymaker feeling tired and stressed. Massage makes the best holiday gift because it calms the nervous system and provides an oasis of respite from the holiday frenzy.

2. The Gift of Pain Removal

From hanging Christmas lights to digging the Chanukkah candles out of the basement, the holidays’ decorating activities can create strain, sprain, and pain. Massage makes the best holiday gift because it addresses pain and stiffness by increasing circulation, improving flexibility, and releasing crinkles and tight spots from muscles.

3. The Gift of Raised Spirits
The holidays aren’t jolly all the time; family conflict, feelings of grief, and other mood stressors can arise. Massage makes the best gift because it can boost mood. The release of the feel-good hormone, oxytocin, is increased during a massage, as is the release of serotonin and dopamine.
