I have adapted seated sessions for the elderly in residential care homes.
The sessions usually last for ten to fifteen minutes and can be carried out while residents are sat in wheelchairs, armchairs or dining chairs or in their beds.
I work very gently with older people to ease out aches and pains, keep joints mobile and also to offer contact and relaxation for people who may be very physically isolated in their later years.
Residents tend to love the nourishing touch, care and connection that Shiatsu can give and we invariably have a good chat and a laugh too.
I offer a free trial to see whether this service can work for you in your setting.
