What is Holistic Massage?

​

Holistic massage benefits the mind, body and spirit. Massage relaxes taut muscles, aids lymphatic drainage, releases toxins and benefits the "whole" in many other positive ways. Physical and emotional stress can be reduced through therapeutic touch and a myriad of other restrictive problems can also be alleviated.

 

Holistic massage is a nurturing process of touch and response. The treatment is adapted to each client’s unique needs, physical characteristics and personality.

I often explain that I massage people, not bodies – that I do a massage with someone, rather than doing it to them.

 

For example, I will adopt a very different approach to a client who approaches me in order to work through a trauma to one who simply wants her stiff shoulders eased after spending too long in front of the computer screen.

​

What are the benefits of massage?

​

Massage is generally considered part of complementary and integrative medicine. It's increasingly being offered along with standard treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and situations.

​

Studies of the benefits of massage demonstrate that it can be an effective treatment for reducing stress, pain and muscle tension.

​

Daily life impacts on our body in many ways. Although we can easily become tired, stressed, anxious and exhausted we seldom create the space to explore the therapeutic form of beneficial relaxation. Holistic massage can create instant improvement in the quality of sleep and concentration, improve circulation and waste removal and encourage deeper, more relaxed breathing, and is an accessible treatment for all ages.

How can massage help me?

​

While more research is needed to confirm the benefits of massage, some studies have found massage may also be helpful for:

  • Anxiety

  • Digestive disorders

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Headaches

  • Insomnia related to stress

  • Myofascial pain syndrome

  • Soft tissue strains or injuries

  • Sports injuries

  • Temporomandibular joint pain

Beyond the benefits for specific conditions or diseases, some people enjoy massage because it often produces feelings of caring, comfort and connection.

What is Indian Head Massage?
