Holistic Massages
"One hour massage equates to 7-8 hours of sleep on the body."
Our approach to holistic massage today can be seen as a natural evolution from different massage traditions in both eastern and western cultures, over many years.
In many ways, holistic massage is about setting an atmosphere, creating an energy, being in a particular vibe. The way in which the massage is approached is as important as the techniques themselves. Of course, techniques matter too and may be drawn from a wide area. For instance, holistic massage may include:
- classical Swedish techniques such as effleurage; petrissage, kneading, friction and wringing;
- percussive techniques such as hacking, cupping, pummelling, plucking and brushing;
- gentle hand holds, drawing on healing traditions and an awareness of the human energy field. This may extend to working off the physical body in the human aura;
- deeper pressure techniques; such as neuromuscular technique (NMT);
- passive joint mobilizations and stretches, such as muscle energy technique (MET);
- appropriate techniques from related bodywork traditions such as cranio-sacral therapy and shiatsu.
