Zorgvliet Spa treatments for the elderly
VEREENIGING, GAUTENG – 09 October 2013 – A phenomenon dubbed as silver spa-ing by the International Spa Association has seen spa treatments for the elderly on the increase. Older people, however, tend to have more sensitive spots that require extra care from therapists. Ideally senior citizens should opt for treatments that relieve aches and pains associated with old age. Spa treatments that include the use of essential oils should be avoided as well as spa facilities that could affect blood circulation like jacuzzis, saunas and steam rooms.
Finding the right treatment will help troubleshoot common ageing concerns like symptoms of arthritis and varicose veins.
Here are some options for suitable spa treatments for the elderly:
- Massages will help ease stiff joints and muscles but therapists should take care not to aggravate any existing conditions. Rather use gentle massage techniques.
- Mild facials will soothe the elderly’s skin while also addressing the appearance of wrinkles and spots.
- Manicures and pedicures will ensure that their hands and feet are well maintained as bending over to do it themselves might come with difficulty during old age.
- Paraffin wax provides moisture to the skin can aid in relief from arthritis discomfort.
It’s however important for the elderly to consult with a medical practitioner or a therapist to deduce which spa treatment will suit them best. Once that’s established they too can enjoy the soothing benefits that spa treatments bring.
