Holistic Massage

Holistic massage is an ancient discipline used to improve health and wellbeing by treating the mind, body and spirit. It maintains our general health and fitness, complements other therapies in the treatment of specific conditions and symptoms and offers a peaceful and relaxed feeling in our often hectic lifestyles.

Massage is the therapeutic application of touch using a range of movements or strokes upon the skin, joints and muscles. Therapeutic touch has significant benefits for all the body's essential systems. A professional therapist will have a thorough understanding and knowledge of the body and its systems.

There are many styles of massage

In her practice Christina uses Aromatherapy and Holistic Massage, Manual Lymph Drainage(MLD)and Combined Decongestive Therapy(CDT.

What to expect in treatment

An initial consultation involves taking a medical history to gain an understanding of the client's needs, symptoms and conditions and finding out the client's preferences for treatment. All information is in the utmost confidence. A Treatment Plan is then prepared and this is very much the personal choice of the client.

For an Aromatherapy Massage, the therapist uses essential oils. In Manual Lymph Drainage( MLD ), no oils or creams are used.

Following the massage session the client and therapist review the affects and discuss future needs. Clients receive Information Sheets that are relevant to the day's session and include post massage care advice. Many clients acknowledge the benefit of the treatment and return on a weekly or monthly basis for general maintenance.
