GERIATRIC MASSAGE THERAPY

In addition to helping seniors maintain a strong mind and body balance, geriatric massage therapy has a variety of other health benefits for those who are aging. For the elderly, massage therapy can be a source of relaxation and refreshing, can increase blood circulation and allows oxygen to flow more freely to different muscles and tissues in the body.  Improved blood circulation is an important aspect of their health as it can improve medication absorption rates, reduce hypertension and increase skin temperature.1 Other positive contributions to seniors’ health can be felt by meditation, yoga, acupuncture and music therapy.  For more information visit Lexington.patch.com.  To learn more about our massage school visit www.NMTI.edu.  To schedule an appointment at our student massage clinic visit www.NMTIstudentclinic.com.
