Reflexology and Seniors
Reflexology has a lot to offer to a senior person.

The deep relaxation provided can ease or eliminate aches and pains that are often experienced in the senior years. Similarly reflexology can assist a senior person to regain or maintain healthy functioning and a healthier attitude toward life.
Reflexology is usually conducted with the client facing the dream reflexologist. Consequently, a reflexology session will provide an opportunity for a senior person to discuss various issues and challenges that they are facing, and be directed to helpful resources.
The nurturing touch provided in reflexology is much appreciated by many seniors who are apt to not be touched as much as persons in their younger years.
All in all, reflexology is a natural for senior citizens in their golden years.
