Massage helps relieve many common ailments and chronic conditions. The powerful effect of touch in a healing environment has been proven to work on physical and emotional levels.
Holistic massage aims to balance the whole person, and its effects will differ in every individual.
Holistic massage helps to loosen muscular tension, muscular fatigue, stiffness and soreness. It helps circulation, ensuring delivery of nutrients to the tissues and also balances toxins to be removed in muscle tissue that can be responsible for aches and pains.
Lymph Drainage massage can really help to eliminate toxins and to reduce swelling and improve venous return in the legs for example.
Massage also aids the nervous system. Holistic massage can also promote relaxation, both of body and mind.
Many physical and emotional ailments are interrelated. How many people can relate to the stiffness in the neck, the tight shoulders, the common ailment of general back pain and stiffness of range of motion? Some of the deeper techniques get into these “tight spots” to improve areas of pain, and or, tension.
Many complaints can be related to stress, environment, work related, poor posture, sports injuries, lifestyle, fatigue, to name a few causes…
Conditions that massage can help include:
Aromatherapy uses essential plant oils, to treat a variety of conditions, usually blended with a carrier oil. They are individually blended, tailored to individual requirements for each client.
The effect of aromatherapy is a positive one. The individual oils have their own qualities, such as decongesting and calming or uplifting. They can work very well on many emotional, hormonal, and physical levels.
I often combine therapies, in order to offer the most beneficial treatment as required. All the therapies offered in the clinic complement and work well together. Body and mind balance.
