Welcome
Holistic Massage

Holistic Massageis well touted these days, though many people don’t really know what it is or how it can help them. They typically understand the massage part, but are a little fuzzy about the rest.

What is Holistic Massage?

Anything holistic treats the mind and body as a whole. The aim is to restore balance and harmony to your entire being, which results in a calmer and healthier you.
Holistic Massage is performed by a therapist trained in different areas of health, such as anatomy, nutrition and physiology, so you can be assured that there is good, practical knowledge behind your treatment. If your therapist does not ask you for a detailed medical and lifestyle history, find a different one. The information is necessary for the custom tailoring of your massage therapy, and most will ask you to fill out a detailed questionnaire.

What Holistic Massage Can Do For You?

In addition to the respite from the world that just being in the appointment can bring, there are so many benefits to this type of healing:
• The manipulation teaches your muscles to relax and let go of tension. It also stimulates the muscle tissues
• Reduces stress and makes you more alert
• Toxins are more easily released from the body due to massage’s effects on your lymphatic system
• Relieves emotional tension, and the resulting headaches and stiffness in back and neck. It is used to assist people with grief and depression
• Nerves become more alert
• Circulation is improved and strengthened
• Decongests your sinuses
• Improves respiration
• Digestion processes are improved as your circulation is better
• Bones get stronger
• Joint movement is improved and strengthened
• You heal faster
• Your mind is clearer, and your mind/body connection is synchronized
• Reduces pain as a result of the endorphin release that happens
For best results, you should be looking at having regular treatments. Most people choose weekly or monthly appointments.
After your treatment, our therapist will advise you what you should be doing to help yourself between visits. That may mean gentle exercise such as yoga, or be something as simple as drinking more water and fewer caffeinated drinks. The combination of getting help and taking responsibility for your own care will go a long way towards improving how you feel and look.

How To Get A Holistic Massage

It’s not that difficult to find this kind of wonderful treatment, but you want to make sure that you find someone qualified. Ask friends, family or co-workers if they know of any in your area. You can also call or visit day spas to ask about their massage therapists. Enquire as to whether or not they’re certified (you want them to be), and how long they have been practising.
As with any person, your instincts will help guide you. If you get a bad feeling about the shop or the therapist, keep looking. Don’t give up though, because it is well worth the effort to find the right Holistic Massage therapist for you.
