Can Seniors Get Massages? What to Expect and How to Prepare

Short answer? Absolutely.
Long answer? Absolutely—and here’s why it might be one of the most underrated ways to support your wellness later in life.

Whether you're stepping into your 60s, 70s, or beyond, taking care of your body doesn’t have to be complicated. Massage can be a gentle, effective way to ease everyday tension, improve your sense of well-being, and add something restorative to your week. And with Aescape, it's never been easier to stay in control of that experience from start to finish.

Aescape was designed with comfort, privacy, and consistency in mind. You stay fully clothed in cozy Aescape apparel. You’re never rushed. And everything—pressure, position, duration—is guided by you, on a user-friendly touchscreen. It’s simple to use, with no awkward conversations or surprises.

If that sounds like your kind of pace, here’s where to start.

Why massage matters as we age

As we get older, the body changes. (Shocker, right?) Muscles may feel tighter, joints a little stiffer, and balance or mobility might take a bit more focus. That’s where massage—especially one you can count on regularly—comes in. According to the National Institutes of Health, massage can promote relaxation and ease minor aches associated with aging, while also supporting circulation and sleep.

At Aescape, we believe massage should feel welcoming and repeatable. 

Getting ready for your first session

Here’s what helps:

• Wear something easy to change in and out of (Aescape provides apparel, but simplicity = comfort)

• Start lighter on pressure if you’re new to massage—your body will let you know what feels best

• Get familiar with the touchscreen—it’s easy, and gives you full control over the session

Want a suggestion? The 30 min Full Back & Glutes Relief is a fantastic place to begin. It’s approachable, covers key areas, and helps introduce your body to the benefits of massage without feeling overwhelming.
