Benefits of Massage
Massage is an ancient healing art offering a host of physical
and psychological benefits.
There are many different styles of massage, all based on the
simple wisdom that human touch, sensitively applied, has a deeply
healing quality. Massage is a holistic treatment, recognising that
tension in one part of the body affects the whole, as does release
of that tension through therapeutic touch. Insofar as it offers the
possibility of deep relaxation, relief of stress and accompanying
emotional release, massage also recognises the interconnection of
body, mind and heart.
A skilled practitioner works intuitively in response to the
client's needs during a session, tailoring the massage
accordingly.
The main reason to receive massage is simply that it feels
great! It offers a wholly relaxed and pleasurable opportunity to
experience "being in the body", the effects of which can be
long-lasting, and entirely beneficial.
Incorporation of regular, or even occasional massage into one's
life offers immense potential for increased wellbeing and vitality,
as well as an enhanced sense of embodiment.
