ABOUT
MASSAGE...
MASSAGE
has been used for centuries for both healing and relaxation, and
as a holistic therapy today, can have many benefits, both physically
and psychologically. A trained holistic massage therapist will
feel for any physical tension or areas of discomfort in the body
and use their hands to communicate healing to their client during
a treatment. Physical benefits of massage can include pain relief,
increased blood circulation and stimulation of the lymphatic system.
Holistic massage can be a deeply relaxing physical and
mental experience, in a warm and calm environment, helping to
reduce stress, aid restful sleep, and can leave you feeling revitalised
after a tiring day. Massage can be given to almost anyone, from
babies to any age. However, it is not recommended if you suffer
from certain medical conditions. It is advisable to seek your
doctor's advice first, before starting any complementary therapy.
A properly trained therapist should in any case ask you for some
details about your medical history during your initial consultation.
