The Benefits of Massage

Massage has many therapeutic benefits on both the body and mind. It’s known to improve circulation and ease aching muscles, boost the immune system, reduce tension, improve sleep and enhance relaxation.

Gentle massage of the hands, arms, feet, legs or face is very soothing, and this safe physical connection allows the therapist and resident to interact and communicate throughout.

Dementia Massage

Just five-minutes of hand massage for people living with dementia has shown to decrease stress and agitation. Since touching the hands is a familiar gesture it may be a welcome form of contact and enhance feelings of security. Back stroking and foot massage are also soothing forms of therapy that can greatly boost emotional wellbeing.

Naturally, any form of physical contact relies on trust and our therapists take time to develop relationships with the ladies and gentlemen they treat.
