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.
