From the robust to the frail, seniors have specific needs when receiving massage.

This workshop details seniors’ special needs as well as addresses how massage therapists can accomodate – through hands-on techniques and modifications – the changes caused by aging.

Participants will also learn how to massage those in wheelchairs as well as the bed-bound. Additionally, special populations will be studied, including those with Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and diabetes.

Peggy Rouh, Ph. D., LMT, MTI is the owner of A-a-a-h Massa-a-a-ge, PLLC.  Her business specializes in massage for senior citizens.  Certified in Geriatric Massage, she works with a variety of clients from the very robust to those bed- and wheelchair-bound.

A graduate of The Lauterstein-Conway Massage School semesters 1 and 2, Peggy took up massage as a second career after retiring from IBM Corp. with 30 years of experience.  Putting her business and customer support experience to work, she has grown her business significantly since it opened its doors.  Taking her skills and massage table directly to her clients helps give seniors the confidence in someone who understands and caters to their specific needs.
