Can the age of your massage client affect the type of massage therapy they receive?
Some clients, with age, experience increased sensitivity to pressure, causing pain and/or bruising, vulnerable bones and joints, and changes in muscle and fascia.
An experienced massage therapist takes into consideration a variety of clinical factors including their client’s,
Health Conditions and History,
Skin Health,
Previous Injuries,
Medication Use, and
Pain Threshold.
A skilled and experienced massage therapist will also take a minute or two after the massage therapy to make sure their elderly client gets off the table safely and is stable on their feet.
As a massage therapist, you must protect yourself; only the best massage therapist insurance coverage will do.
The American Massage Council offers the most affordable and reliable professional liability insurance for massage therapy coverage and more.
