Holistic Massage
Holistic massage is a deeply relaxing way to relieve muscular discomfort, aches and pains. It is a fantastic way to reduce stress, treating the body, mind and spirit as a whole. The treatment is tailored to suit the individual.
Here are just some of the positive effects associated with massage treatments:
- Massage causes the blood vessels to dilate, which facilitates the flow, lowers the pressure and increases circulation of blood and lymph, which in turn helps to disperse the accumulated waste and toxins trapped in tense muscles.
- It can help loosen contracted, shortened muscles and stimulate weak, flaccid muscles. This muscle "balancing" can improve posture and promote more efficient movement.
- Joints have a way of settling and stiffening when not used. By using massage strokes and passive movement and stretches to release the muscle tension and free the connective tissue binding the joints, the range of movement can be greatly increased.
- Massage enhances skin condition. It directly improves the function of the glands which keep the skin lubricated, clean, and cooled. Tough, inflexible skin can become softer and more supple.
- It also aids recovery from soft tissue injuries such as sprains and strains by accelerating circulation in the injured areas and stimulating healing.
- Massage balances the nervous system by soothing or stimulating it, depending on which effect is needed by the individual at the time of the massage.
- Headaches, insomnia, digestive disorders, arthritis, repetitive strain injuries and carpal tunnel syndrome are some of the problems that can respond well to massage therapy.
