Geriatric Massage: for seniors and aging bodies
​​Our bodies change as we age, and so do our needs for comfort, movement, and touch. At Stillwaters Healing & Massage, geriatric massage offers seniors, grandparents and the elderly gentle, restorative care that supports both the body and the nervous system.
​
Whether you or your loved one lives at home, in an assisted living residence, or a long-term care facility, we bring professional, therapeutic massage directly to you. Our goal is to ease discomfort, promote relaxation, and create a sense of calm and connection that enhances quality of life.
​
Families often reach out when they are desperate to help their parent or grandparent who is experiencing very little mobility. We help these patients with a lifetime of chronic pain that has become debilitating.
what is geriatric massage?
Geriatric massage is a specialized form of massage therapy designed for seniors and the elderly. It uses light to moderate pressure, rhythmic movements, and careful positioning to promote circulation, reduce muscle tension, and soothe the nervous system.
​​​
We deploy a non intrusive therapeutic approach that can be delivered in a living room chair, a hospital bed, or a massage table. We cater each treatment with each client for their own personal therapeutic goals.
​
For those living with chronic pain, arthritis, limited mobility, or other age-related conditions, methodic rehabilitative and gentle touch can help restore ease in both the body and the mind.

The Stillwaters Approach
At Stillwaters Healing & Massage, every session is guided by care, presence, and professional expertise.
Taylor, our Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), brings years of experience supporting seniors and individuals in palliative and long-term care. Each treatment is approached with patience, respect, and attunement to the individual’s unique needs.
​
The focus is on creating comfort, physically, emotionally, and energetically. Techniques are slow, steady, and responsive, helping the body feel safe enough to relax and release. Families and caregivers often notice an immediate sense of calm after a session.
​
​A massage for your grandparents can also be a beautiful and meaningful gift. It’s a thoughtful way to show love, appreciation, and care for the people who have always cared for you. Whether they live at home, in assisted living, or a long term care facility, a session brings gentle relief from tension, improved circulation, and deep relaxation. For birthdays, holidays, or simply as a way to say “thank you,” a Stillwaters geriatric massage offers grandparents a nurturing experience that helps them feel comforted, valued, and at ease.
​
We uphold professional RMT standards while offering a holistic touch that supports the whole person - body, mind, and nervous system.
