Which population might require the use of adaptive equipment during massage?

Clients with limited mobility often require the use of adaptive equipment during massage to enhance their comfort and accessibility. This equipment can include specially designed tables, bolsters, or supports that help position the client securely and comfortably, allowing for a more effective treatment. Adaptive equipment can also help therapists reach areas that may be difficult to access due to the client's physical limitations, ensuring that the massage techniques can be applied effectively.

In contrast, clients with high energy levels, those who prefer rhythmic movements, or individuals interested in competitive sports may not necessarily require adaptive equipment as their needs are more related to the type of massage they prefer rather than adaptations for structural support or positioning. Hence, the focus is on creating a suitable environment and technique for clients with limited mobility to facilitate their participation in massage therapy.
