Description
The Geriatric Massage Institute (GM is an institute that encourages and teaches the use of skillful hands-on work to make life more enjoyable for the elderly by helping them to maintain their health and often to regain physical capabilities that seemed lost forever.
The word “geriatric” refers to health impairments that are associated with the later years of life. Hence, this type of massage takes age-related health conditions into account. To do this successfully requires theoretical knowledge and technical skills that go beyond what is usually taught in Massage Schools because it is not needed in a practice directed at younger clients. As this information is not readily available, the DAY-BREAK Geriatric Massage Project was founded to cull pertinent facts from the fields of medicine, psychology, sociology, gerontology and of course the various bodywork disciplines, to develop Geriatric Massage as a specialty. This ever-growing body of knowledge is the basis for our instructional materials, including our books, videos, several correspondence courses, a certification program for qualified instructors, an annual week-long symposium, and our popular weekend workshops
The rapid increase in our membership and the increasing demand for workshops illustrates the need for qualified training in geriatric massage. Statistics show that thousands of people join the ranks of the 65 year olds every day, and also show that several thousand new massage therapists are graduating from the nation's massage schools every year. So there is a match between potential clients and potential geriatric massage practitioners.
