Positioning and Techniques during a Geriatric Massage
When a person is advanced in age or a person whose body function is not working as it should, a massage session should be adjusted in a way that the client will be most comfortable.
You should ask the senior citizen what his favorite sleeping position is and if possible, adopt the position when carrying out the massage. An elderly person may not be comfortable in a prone position and this could be due to a dental appliance or those suffering from heart-related complications.
A semi-reclining position should be used is the most appropriate position for a person who will be uncomfortable lying in a prone position.
You should also ensure that the client will not have to change her position so many times especially if mobility is a problem.
When carrying out the massage, use a good amount of massage oil or lotion to avoid bruising the sensitive skin of the client. The client is also at risk of suffering from a bone fracture especially in the back region. Due to this, ensure that you use light pressure and avoid the areas that are very close to the spinal cord.
If the senior citizen has a hearing aid, ensure that you do not carry out the massage near them as it may produce a squeaking sound that will be very uncomfortable for the client.
You should also ask the elderly client if he is wearing a dental appliance before you massage the lower cheek. If she is wearing a dental appliance, you should keep off that region as massaging it may lead to intense pain.
A senior client will be slower when changing positions and even when changing clothes. Due to this, you should ensure that you give him ample time to change his clothes or to shift to a new position. These provisions should be put into consideration when booking the appointment so that you will not have to keep the next client waiting for too long.
