Massage can be beneficial to everyone but geriatric massage is a specialty massage that focuses on age-related health conditions of those 65 and older. This is not a watered down version of traditional Swedish massage, but one that uses modified techniques by trained therapists. Sessions are usually 30 minutes with the client supine or in side-lying position. And to prevent damage to the fragile skin and muscles usually found in this age group, stripping and deep tissue strokes are avoided.
