Massage for the Elderly
-
Over the last nine years, I have trained with MSCM for ITEC diplomas in Physiology, Anatomy, Indian head Massage, Reflexology and loads of other too! Every course is presented within a relaxed atmosphere but you should work hard. All of the tutors are passionate about what they teach and that has always inspired me.

Course programme
Course programme:
This one-day workshop is designed as an advanced workshop open to qualified massage therapists.
One thing is certain about life and that is that as we grow physically older we develop certain conditions that may affect our mind and body. These ailments, in turn, can also affect the ways in which we view our futures and sense of well-being.
Massage therapy is particularly valuable for the problems associated with growing older.
The benefits of massage encompass conditions that may arise with age, such as muscular stiffness, arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, and respiratory problems such as asthma and emphysema.
Massage encourages circulation, decreases muscular stiffness, and helps to decrease inflammation that may rest in the joints. Careful massage can help provide the elderly with symptomatic relief and enable seniors to extend the vitality in their lives.
Working with the elderly can be a wonderful experience for both client and therapist alike. For many elderly people it may be the only human touch they experience.
The objectives behind this workshop are to:
- Explore and understand the ageing process and its implications:
mentally
physically - Common ailments affecting the elderly
- Special handling of the elderly
- Improving well-being
- Practical massage techniques for the elderly
- Safety considerations
The workshop is largely practical in content and students will be required to wear clinical wear for the duration of the day.
This workshop is one of the optional modules within the mscm advanced massage diploma but it is also available as a stand-alone workshop.
A certificate of attendance will be provided for this workshop.
