HOLISTIC MASSAGE
Massage benefits both mind and body. It is rare that we take an hour to lie down, close our eyes and just 'be'.
- For the body, the massage helps taut muscles learn to relax and this, combined with strokes to aid lymphatic drainage, helps to release toxins. The benefits can be felt by all ages, backgrounds and lifestyles.
- Stiffness and soreness in muscles can be due to a wide range of physical factors from an overly energetic session in the gym or carrying too much shopping home, to poor posture through being seated at a desk all day or excessive time behind the steering wheel.
- The causes are not always physical however. Emotional tension and the day to day stresses that life throws at us can manifest in headaches caused by a stiff neck and shoulders and the body generally tensing up in response to stress.
- Massage can help people to deal with emotional problems such as grief and depression.
- Older people benefit too. For the elderly it can be difficult to get around, resulting in lack of exercise and muscle atrophy. Massage will stimulate blood flow and help the release of those feel-good endorphins that make us feel good inside.
"What does holistic mean?" Holistic means 'whole' . So this form of massage deals with you as a 'whole'. The aim is to rebalance the body. The training is quite extensive, as it not only covers massage, but also anatomy and physiology, nutrition and general health.
