What is Holistic Massage?

The term 'holistic' comes from the Greek word 'holos' meaning whole. The holistic approach takes into account the person's whole being, and not just the physical symptoms or problems. Treatment thus takes into account the effect on the body arising from psychology, environment and nutrition.

Massage is a form of tissue manipulation which has evolved over 4000 years. Holistic massage thus treats each person individually in the context of their own life. The treatment enables the person to improve their health and re-establish their body's natural equilibrium, known as homeostasis.
