HOLISTIC MASSAGE

Holistic massage is the use of hands to manipulate soft tissue of the body, particularly muscles. It can be used for relaxation, stimulation or rehabilitation of the whole body or specific parts of it. The use of massage has been recorded since 3000BC. It was used for the promotion and restoration of health, relaxation, improving circulation and treating sore muscles and joints. Today massage can be used alone or in combination with other treatments. It is beneficial to all body systems and is a natural and effective way to treat physical and psychological problems.

What are the benefits of massage?

The benefits of massage are that it can:

• Improve circulation therefore oxygen and nutrients are delivered more efficiently to the body and waste products are removed more efficiently helping muscles to function at their optimum level
• Lower high blood pressure by reducing tension
• Remove lactic acid and toxins which build up in over-worked or over-excised muscles thus reducing muscle fatigue and stiffness.
• Encourage better digestion as it speeds up the removal of waste products and increases the flow of blood to the liver
• Improves skin tone, colour and elasticity by helping speed up the removal of dead skin cells
• Improve relaxation and when relaxed the body can breathe more deeply and efficiently which enables better absorption of oxygen and more efficient removal of carbon dioxide
• Assist the lymphatic system in the removal of waste products and boost immunity
• Relaxe the mind and reduces anxiety and tension and the effects of stress on the body
• Increase energy levels
• Lift the emotions and give an increased positive feeling

What does a massage treatment involve?

Before the massage a client consultation is completed. The client will then be asked to undress, apart from underwear and lie on the massage table covered by towels. The therapist will then re-enter the room and the massage will begin. After the massage it is recommended that the client drinks plenty of water as massage encourages the removal of waste products and drinking water will help to remove these.
