This workshop focuses on the unique needs of senior citizens. As the body ages, different approaches need to be taken with this client group. Students will learn what changes occur for which they need to make accommodations and how massage can help the robust to the very frail. A hands-on class, the lab portion of the workshop will focus on massage techniques for these clients. Students will also learn how to massage those in wheelchairs and as well as the bed bound. Additionally, special populations will be studied such as those with Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Diseases.
