What is Holistic Massage?
Holistic means 'whole' so this form of massage deals with you as a 'whole'. Like other therapies, it is not just looking to treat the symptoms, but to establish the cause, whether it be internal or external. The aim of this massage treatment is to rebalance the body so it achieves homeostasis or balance.
What are the Health Benefits of Holistic Massage?
Massage benefits are both mind and body. It is rare that we take time to lie down, close our eyes and just 'be'. An hours peace and quiet away from ringing phones and demanding children has a definite restorative effect.

Who can Benefit from Holistic Massage?
The benefits can be felt by all ages, backgrounds and lifestyles. According to the Massage Association, research as verified that office workers massaged regularly were more alert, performed better and were less stressed than those who didn't receive massage. However it's not just office workers who benefit. Stress affects different people in a myriad of ways, physically and emotionally. Stiffness and soreness in muscles can be due to a wide rage of physical factors from an over 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 can manifest into a headache and stiff neck and shoulders and the body generally tensing up in response to stress, especially if there is not the opportunity of release. Holistic Massage can help to deal with this.
