Factors to Consider when Choosing a Geriatric Massage Therapist
Not every massage therapist can carry out a geriatric massage as some of them may not know where to massage and where to avoid. Others may not know the right pressure that should be applied to avoid hurting the client.
The following are the important considerations that you should look out for when choosing a massage therapist for a senior citizen:
Accessibility:
  • A senior citizen may have a problem with mobility and you should, therefore choose a spa that will be easy to access.
  • The spa chosen should also have an adjustable massage table that will be easy to lower down to allow the client to get on the table and raised again for ease of the massage.
  • Besides being adjustable, the massage table should also have extra padding that will keep the client warm and ensure that he is comfortable during the massage.
  • You can also look for a spa where mobile massage therapy is offered so that during those days that the senior citizen feels that he is not able to get to the spa; the massage therapist will be able to offer the massage at home.
Health concerns
  • The massage therapist should know the techniques that will be most beneficial if the senior citizen suffers from a health complication.
  • He should also know when to stop the massage if it is getting too uncomfortable for the senior citizen.
The massage therapist should be trained on the proper way of carrying out a geriatric massage as this is the only way you can be sure that everything will work out well. You can ask for reviews from senior citizens who have been massaged at the spa so that you can make an informed decision.
You should also ensure that the spa is well equipped due to the delicate nature of the client. You would not want to go to a spa where the level of hygiene is wanting as this will be putting the life of the senior citizen at risk.
