Holistic means "whole" and holistic massage says more about the
approach to massage, than about the actual techniques used.
Holistic massage can draw techniques from many traditions,
combining them with natural sensitivity to meet the needs of each
individual as a whole. This works on a physical, but also an
emotional and even a spiritual level: there is more to a person
than their physical pain, and there is often more to their pain
than simply a physical problem. Just to have that acknowledged by a
therapist, and nothing else, can already be comforting and
healing!
Every person is unique and feels different each day. Hence each
massage treatment is unique.There is no fixed routine with holistic
massage: the therapist works to meet your needs and wishes.
In addition to massage strokes the practitioner often uses a
combination of bodywork techniques, such as joint mobilisation,
stretches, breath work and lymphatic drainage.
Holistic massage is used to improve health and wellbeing by treating the mind, body and spirit. It maintains our general health and fitness, complements traditional medicine in the treatment of specific conditions and symptoms, and offers relaxation in our often hectic lifestyles
