Senior Care Specialty Services: Massage Therapy

Each one of us is a multi-faceted being: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.  Awareness of who we are in all these dimensions helps us achieve the wholeness of an integrated person. Caring for ourselves totally, including the body, allows for healthier and deeper relationships with ourselves and others.  St. Andrew's At Home Services is here to aid in achieving this level of care.

Massage simply means to touch, handle, or press softly.  Swedish Massage is the manual manipulation of soft body tissue through strokes, kneading, pressing, and tapping for therapeutic purposes.  Massage can be a way of assisting the body to heal itself from results of physical or emotional stress.  Our massage therapist will help you to arrive at a balance of body-mind-soul.
