A Holistic Approach

Taking a holistic approach means finding and treating the cause of a condition, not just relieving the symptoms with drugs.

Painkillers, for example, can provide temporary relief for headaches. A holistic approach, however, would explore the underlying causes, such as bad posture, poor sleep patterns, stress or personal problems.

According to the holistic medicine philosophy, one can achieve optimal health by gaining proper balance in life. This can involve lifestyle modifications and may include alternative or complementary therapies such as massage.

How can holistic massage help?

Massage is a holistic therapy that seeks to treat the whole person, helping to rebalance body and mind.

It involves the application of touch in a therapeutic environment that encourages the mind to slow down whilst the body relaxes. Alleviating physical stress, anxiety and emotional strain will leave you with more energy.

Tight muscles relax, circulation improves, waste products and toxins are removed, sleep quality and mood improve, which collectively contribute to an enhanced sense of purpose, increased focus and feelings of contentment.
