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.
