What comes to mind when you hear the word "massage"? Most people think of a full-body spa experience or deep tissue massage to get out the knots and kinks. But that’s only one side of the story.
 
This presentation will explain how Therapeutic Massage can also be our medicine by helping older adults remain healthy and independent while aging. Stress relief, relaxation, improved circulation, and pain relief are only some of the benefits. Therapeutic Massage can also give symptomatic relief for many of the common conditions that occur with age, such as arthritis, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease.
 
Join us for this lively and interactive presentation by a Licensed Massage Therapist from Family & Nursing Care, followed by hands-on seated massage for all attendees.
