Therapy Sessions for the Older Person

The volunteers deliver the programme of complimentary therapies, free for residents of Nursing Homes, Sheltered Accommodation, Residential homes, Hospices and service users of Adult Day Care Centres.  

All therapies used by Sefton O.P.E.R.A have been especially adapted for working with the older person. Each treatment is modified to be as gentle and safe as possible, assuming that the older person may have problems such as arthritis, osteoporosis or spondulitis.

All our therapists are fully trained, with many of them experts and teachers of their therapy. Several O.P.E.R.A volunteers and staff members are Reiki Master/Teachers.
