The Benefits of Holistic Massage....

Massage is often used therapeutically for relaxation and stress relief. Most people know of the overwhelming sense of relaxation that follows a gentle massage in addition to the profound psychological impact.

Muscular tension is directly related to stress, psychological tension and repressed emotions. The act of releasing the physical tension has a reflex effect on stress, psychological and emotional tension. A gentle aromatherapy or therapeutic massage can lead to the physical relaxation of muscles, thereby easing muscular tension. This in turn can assist stress relief and relieve other tension related problems such as headaches, anxiety, insomnia, nervous stomach etc.

The physical relaxation of muscles, whether induced for pleasure or the treatment of pain can enhance blood flow, thereby accelerating physical repair and the restoration of normal function.

Holistic aromatherapy, homeopathic aromatherapy and therapeutic massage are examples of gentle massages that can be used for stress relief, for relaxation and to ease muscular tension and other symptoms that are not linked to physical pain or injury. As with other holistic treatments such as indian head massage and swedish massage, therapeutic massage is a much lighter massage and offers greater relaxation than deep tissue massages such as remedial massage and sports massage which are commonly used to treat sports and occupational injuries.

High quality massage oil is used for each treatment. The oils used for homeopathic aromatherapy and therapeutic massage contain 100% pure essential oils commonly used in aromatherapy massage. For more information on what to expect during a holistic treatment please click here.
