Massage for older people (over 65)

Why special attention for older people?
At Rosemary Cottage Clinic we offer a special reduced price massage service for people over 65, because we believe there are huge benefits for this age group.
- metabolism and health prospects change as we get older - massage enhances circulation, muscle tone and immunalogical status. It should form a regular part of any fitness plan.
- retirement brings stresses and a change of pace - massage can ease the transition, by enhancing our sense of wellbeing and confidence.
- many older people lack physical contact - massage provides a point of social and physical contact and may be a vital comfort for individuals who live alone or have been widowed.
- the elderly and frail suffer many medical problems due to a lack of mobility, such as ulcers, sores and arthritis - Massage can significantly improve circulation and reduce the tendency to develop these conditions or help recovery where they already exist.
What we recommend
We will discuss your needs and devise a massage treatment that suits your condition and circumstances. It could include any combination of the follwing:
- Head massage
- Shoulders and neck massage
- Back and neck massage
- Legs, ankles and feet

For the over 65s we would recommend regular massage, weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
