Benefits of TherapeuticMassage For Our Elders

Elderly massage offersnumerous benefits to our seniorcitizens, which can greatly help toimprove their health and well-being. The application of massagefor seniors is different than for theyounger population. The massagetherapist must know thephysiological changes that occurin the ageing body.

When we age, we become lessactive and this reduction inphysical activity contributes to thereduction of the quality of lifeexperienced by many seniorcitizens. Many studies have shownthat elderly massage therapy canbe of significant benefit inmanaging arthritis and a host ofother physical ailments.

Benefits of elderly massage are

as follows:• Treatment of Alzheimer’s

patients, facilitatingrelaxation andcommunication.

• Arthritic pain management.• Increase in range of motion.• Promotion of natural joint

lubrication (important forArthritis sufferers).

• Increases in strength andmuscle coordination.

• Boosts in natural energylevels and mental awareness.

• Improves posture byreducing muscle tension andpromoting a higher qualityof rest.

• A profound calming effectwhich helps with medicalinterventions that may beneeded in dealing withvarious conditions.

John Bentz was born inNebraska in 1917—one of 11children. After his father passedunexpectedly, he got a job at age16 to help his mother payexpenses. He stayed in Norfolk,Nebraska, until age 22, then with$50 in his possession, movedto Detroit.

John began what would be anillustrious and almost half centurycareer at GM, starting withbuilding steel parts bins.Interrupted by Pearl Harbor, heenlisted in the Army Air Force andsoon became a 2nd Lt. Navigator.He maintained correspondencewith young Edna, who he hadmet six years previously at achurch youth conference.After two years of flying missionsand many distinguishing medals,he returned to marry Edna inOmaha before finishing hisservice in the war.

He and Edna settled in Detroit,

where he returned to his previousemployment and was put into amanagement-training program.His career would take him tomany cities and high managementpositions. During that time, twodaughters and two sonscompleted their family. In 1978he bought a house in San Diego,finally retiring in early 1979.

Since their oldest daughterlived in Germany, John and Ednaneeded no excuse to visit Europeseveral times. In San Diego, theywere both very active in theLutheran Church and served onthe Board of Directors for theGerman Research Association.Edna wrote a book on interpretingGerman records. John wrote threefamily history books.

Fifteen years ago, Edna sadlypassed away at the age of 82. Johnlived alone with his cat, Spooky,until he made Belmont his homein February 2013. John can beseen doing many things aroundBelmont and is always in a goodmood. Thanks for the memories andyour service!
