Holistic Massage Waterford County

In Energetic Massage, the term ‘Energetic’ does not refer to the amount of energy used by the therapist during the massage, but to the action of treating the body on an ‘energetic’ level. This means addressing the mind, body and spirit as one in order to restore harmony. Pain and illness affect both the mind and body and therefore both need to be treated together. As well as a more conventional understanding of anatomy and physiology, the Energetic Massage Therapist is trained to identify tension and blockages in the body, and to help the person being massaged to relax using breathing techniques and the power of touch. Energetic Massage Therapy is suitable for both men and women, and can aid relaxation, reduce stress and tension, and relieve muscle pain. Because massage therapy stimulates the circulation of blood and lymph it also detoxifies the body and nourishes and improves the skin. The types of problems which can benefit from Energetic Massage Therapy include not only physical problems such as headaches, insomnia and joint or muscle pain and stiffness, but also emotional issues such as sadness, anger and frustration. A good massage therapist will always check that the person receiving the massage is comfortable with the amount of pressure being used. The parts of the body that are massaged include the back, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, legs and feet. A full body massage usually takes at least an hour, after which the person receiving the treatment experiences a profound sense of relaxation and well-being.
