Holistic massage takes in the whole person – body, mind and spirit. It is one of the oldest forms of healthcare practiced today. It involves use of different manipulative techniques to move the body’s muscles and soft tissue. It can have positive effects on the health of the person being massaged. It improves circulation and joint mobility, releases muscle tension, aids digestion and by stimulating the lymphatic system it speeds up elimination of waste products. Massage can also reduce levels of cortisol, the body’s stress hormone. These benefits combine with the psychological benefits of feeling cared for quickly produce a wonderful feeling of well-being that cannot be matched.
