Hands Heal Seniors

The retired life is often called “The Golden Years.” One of the most relaxing, and also therapeutic, activities anyone can get is a good massage. However, some can’t afford to go out and get a full massage. The Lodge at Cold Spring spoiled their residents this past Friday with free Chair Massages. Cheri Ann Garet, Licensed Massaged Therapist from Hands That Heal, brought her portable massage chair and showed residents (and even some staff members) that hands really can heal.

Cheri massaged the back, neck, head, and shoulders of all who had signed up. “It was good,” one of the residents said, “But it was almost too relaxing, I just want to go to sleep now!” Although it wasn’t a full table massage, it still helped all who got one to relax a little more and take some stress away. After seeing residents get taken care of, staff members were chomping at the bit to get their turn. No matter who it was, they all got up from the chair and left with a smile.
