As we get older, our bodies go through a few changes - slower circulation, stiffer joints, tighter muscles, and a little less bounce than we used to have.
That’s where remedial massage really shines💆🏻♂️✨
Here’s how it helps the older population stay mobile, steady and feeling good:
🩸 Better circulation
Massage boosts blood flow, helping oxygen move through the body, reducing cramps, swelling and slow healing.
🦴 Less joint + chronic pain
Great for arthritis, sciatica and old injuries - targeted pressure helps reduce inflammation, ease stiffness and break down scar tissue.
🧍♂️ Improved mobility + balance
By easing tight muscles and supporting joint health, massage helps reduce falls risk and makes day-to-day movement smoother.
😴 Better sleep
Relaxing the nervous system means deeper, more restorative sleep (something many older adults struggle with).
🧠 Mental + emotional wellbeing
Regular touch lowers cortisol, boosts serotonin + endorphins, and supports mood - especially important for seniors who feel isolated or stressed.
And if you’re wondering whether it actually works…
Meet Alwyn, who gets regular remedial massage to keep his body moving well. At 90 years old - and still running marathons!!🏃♂️💨
He’s proof that a bit of consistent care goes a long way.
Age doesn’t have to mean slowing down. With the right support, you can stay active, mobile and doing the things you love - at every stage of life. 💛
