Massage therapy for the elderly service debuts
POSTED 22 Jul 2010 . BY Sarah Todd
A new service called Happi Hands has debuted in the UK.

Specialising in massage therapy, manicures and hand treatments for elderly people in care, its staff are trained to provide gentle contact and therapy.

Founder Jane Lightfoot said: "We offer a completely new approach to the care of one of the most neglected groups in society. I say to our new therapists that a 20 minute session for our customers is as beneficial as going to a spa for a week would be for us." Details: www.happihands.net
