Welcome to Healing Touch - Holistic health is a natural alternative to a healthier lifestyle and well-being
The use of massage has been recorded in China from 3000BC. The ancient Chinese called their technique ‘amma’ and used specific movements on particular points of the body. It was used for the promotion and restoration of health as well as relaxation. In India, massage has always been used as part of traditional Ayurvedic- meaning life.
Holistic Massage is the use of hands by mechanical means to manipulate the soft tissue of the body particularly muscles. It can be used for relaxation, stimulation or rehabilitation of the whole body or part of it.
It promotes circulation and reduces stress. Massage is used to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms or condition the mind, body and spirit.

What is deep tissue massage?
Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders. Some of the same strokes are used as classic massage therapy, but the movement is slower and the pressure is deeper and concentrated on areas of tension and pain.
How does Deep Tissue Massage Work?
When there is chronic muscle tension or injury, there are usually adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Adhesions can block circulation and cause pain, limited movement, and inflammation. Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down these adhesions to relieve pain and restore normal movement. To do this, direct deep pressure or friction is applied across the grain of the muscles.
What conditions is deep tissue massage used for?
Unlike classic massage therapy, which is used for relaxation, deep tissue massage usually focuses on a specific problem, such as:Chronic pain
Limited mobility
Recovery from injuries (e.g. whiplash, falls, sports injury)
Repetitive strain injury, such as carpal tunnel syndrome
Postural problems
Osteoarthritis pain
Muscle tension or spasm
Fibromyalgia According to the August 2005 issue of Consumer Reports magazine, 34,000 people ranked deep tissue massage more effective in relieving osteoarthritis pain than physical therapy, exercise, prescription medications, chiropractic, acupuncture, diet, glucosamine and over-the-counter drugs. Deep tissue massage also received a top ranking for fibromyalgia pain. People often notice improved range of motion immediately after a deep tissue massage.

Natural Face Lift Massage
£35 | 30 minutes
A natural antidote to ageing stress
Natural face lift massage is a safe, non-invasive healthcare modality drawing on ancient Ayurvedic knowledge, energy balancing techniques, specially adapted massage moves, acupressure points and aesthetic principles. Firmly based in tried and trusted bodyworks traditions, this revitalising treatment is extraordinary. Natural face lift massage is a unique massage therapy that relaxes your facial and neck muscles, helping your skin to regain it elasticity while encouraging wrinkles and bags to diminish.
The benefits to the recipient are numerous; it is useful to know in advance that for a long-term result, a series of 6-8 weekly treatments is recommended. This is because although one session will begin to lessen wrinkles and habitual expression lines, tighten facial contours and improve skin tone, regular sessions have a cumulative effect. As tension in taut facial muscles is released with each session the techniques used by the natural face lift massage therapist actively promote an improved flow of nutrients to skin cells while stimulating better blood and lymphatic circulation which helps in the elimination of toxins, creating a fresher, healthier look and the benefits don’t stop there! The massage helps to free age-old constrictions in connective tissue and facial muscles encouraging the connective tissue to glide more smoothly. The result is that under-eye bags and puffiness are reduced skin elasticity is increased and because the body’s subtle energy is gently balanced throughout the massage, this treatment encourages the recipient’s innate beauty confidence and inner radiance to shine for everyone to see.
How the treatment works
The natural face lift massage therapist works on sections of the face, systematically releasing deep-seated tension and freeing layers of muscle and connective tissue so that the facial muscles can relax. Microcirculation of blood and lymph is gently restored. The facial tissues glide more smoothly over the deeper layers of the facial muscles and bones. When the therapist systematically tightens and relaxes the facial muscles, the entire area is toned up. The build-up of toxins can sometimes be seen on our faces, making them look saggy puffy dull and grey. The natural face lift massage combats these symptoms by including moves, which help the lymphatic system to drain more effectively. The sweeping and concentrated acupressure techniques and precise massage moves encourage lymphatic drainage. This in turn helps to remove toxins. Result? The client’s skin regains a healthier appearance and generates a glowing look for days.
The energy balancing processes during the massage stimulates the energy centres around the face. This helps to release blockages in the subtle energy field bringing about emotional and physical releases having a direct effect on the client’s well being.
There are six stages involved:Tuning in
Relaxation
Whole body & energy balance
Lift & smooth
Lymphatic drainage
Grounding
