| Publisher Description: Beyond 60: Massage for Mature Adults provides an insight into a population that is not generally addressed in the massage industry. Mature adults are 60 years or older who are past mid-life, but are not yet geriatric. Thanks to the baby boomer generation, mature adults are becoming the largest population in the country. While there are considerations and cautions that should be taken with this population, they are not ready for a geriatric massage. Massage therapists need to understand how to evaluate and work with mature adults. They need to be prepared to adjust their session as necessary based on the mature adult client they have in their studio. This book details how to properly evaluate these clients so you can work with them effectively. You will be seeing more mature adults in your practice, learn how to work with them today |
