Geriatric Massage
"Soothing Seasoned Citizens"
Geriatric massage is a form of massage designed to meet the specific needs of the elderly population.
You will love our state-of-the-art, adjustable hydraulic massage table,
which makes it EASY to lie down and get back up. That means no more
straining to climb onto a bed that is too high. This treatment is done
lying on the table , fully draped at all times, or if disrobing is
difficult, you may remain clothed.
