Empowering Seniors with Massage
Program Description
Empowering Seniors with Massage is a program designed by research, which has
been shown to greatly benefit those suffering from mental and physical illness
as well as enhancing the well being of the healthy. This Program features
regular massage therapy for selected participants within senior centers.
Program
Benefits
The benefits of this program are widespread, simple to implement and cost
effective. Massage lowers company's health care costs and improves your
client/patient health and morale. Massage has successfully been used for stress
and pain reduction, increased range of motion, flexibility, improvement for
osteoporosis, relief from arthritis, calming effect from Alzheimer's disease,
maintaining strength and range of motion following a stroke, and improved
circulation. These are just a few of the problems seniors can experience and
the benefits your client/patients can expect from massage. Your costs can be
reduced because clients/patients will show improved mental and physical health,
which has been shown to reduce the need for some medications, increase energy,
improve morale, improve appetite and improve the quality of sleep. Additional
cost savings will result from the reduced need for the attention from your
staff. Simply put, your client/patients are happier and more content because
they feel better.
Program
Logistics
The purpose of Empowering Seniors with Massage is to demonstrate the benefits
of cost saving and improved health and well being of seniors at your facility.
The program will be presented by Massage Therapists experienced in senior and
geriatric massage, which will be delivered on site on a daily, weekly or
monthly basis. Selected Therapists will work with nursing home faculty to
identify the most appropriate participants, to set up daily, weekly or monthly
schedules and to make arrangements for an appropriate room (if needed) in which
to conduct the massages.
