Have you heard of "geriatric massage therapy"?
Many studies have shown the mental and physical effects of massage, especially for an older individual. Seniors can greatly benefit from sessions, as little as, 10 minutes.
Some benefits include, but not limited to:
-Stress Reduction and Relaxation; Massage therapy lowers stress hormones like cortisol and promotes the release of endorphins, leading to relaxation and a sense of comfort
-Emotional Support and Social Interaction; Many older adults experience loneliness or social isolation. The human touch provided during massage can offer emotional comfort, reduce anxiety, and improve mood
-Cognitive and Psychological Well-being; Studies have shown that seniors receiving regular massage report feeling more relaxed, less anxious, and emotionally supported, which can enhance overall quality of life
