Senior massage uses some of the same basic massage techniques as other modalities, however it is tailored to the specific health conditions and needs of the elderly client. 

Senior massage has the following characteristics:

• Shorter hands on portion and more time with transitioning and presence
• Use of gentle massage hand motion that are comfortable and soothing to the body with nurturing touch and designed when appropriate, to improve blood circulation, including neuropathy and diabetic feet
• Relieve muscle tension and relax the body and the mind
