home visits

Why have a home visit?  Imagine not having to drive in traffic or rush after a massage.  With Oasis Seated Massage in-home massage, you book your appointment and answer your door - and that's it. We provide the massage table (or chair), towels, oils and candles. We'll even bring the music - or you can supply your own.

Massage for Seniors
Massage can help counter the effects of touch deprivation-- something that unfortunately may occur in nursing or retirement homes.  If unable to care for themselves, some individuals have a tendency to become physically and verbally agitated-- gentle massage of back, neck, arms and hands may help bring calmness.  Geriatric massages last no longer than 30 minutes and use slow gentle strokes.

Massage may be done over the clothes in a massage chair or in a wheelchair with head and neck supported, or on a table.
