Holistic Massage

If you’re new to massage, then try this one. The classic, probably best-known “hands on” massage available and the one most commonly taught, Holistic massage is a popular treatment using rhythmical strokes that soothes and relaxes muscles.  It focuses on promoting a sense of calm and well being.  Similar to my Deep Tissue Massage treatment, it can also energise and revitalise, as well as improve circulation.

Using a slower pace and a light to medium pressure, this treatment combines five basic strokes that manipulate the soft tissues of the body, all flowing towards the heart.  However, I can vary the pressure and the pace of the treatment depending on what you need, so be sure to let me know before we start.

Background to Holistic/Swedish Massage

Just in case you were wondering, this massage technique was founded in the 19th Century by one Per Henrik Ling.  It’s thought to be called “Swedish” massage as it’s based on Western ideas of anatomy and physiology rather than the concepts founded in Asian-style massage.

Also, it’s the foundation of many other types of massage treatment to be found in the West, such as sports massage, deep tissue  and aromatherapy massage.  So now you know. Impress your friends with your chilled out vibe and your knowledge of massage techniques.
