What is Holistic Massage?
Touch is a basic human need and this could explain why massage has been around in many different cultures from as long ago as 3000bc, and it has been known for its healing effects in many cultures. It is thought the word massage comes from the ancient Greek word ‘Massin’ which means to knead, the Greeks used massage for the relief of tired and aching muscles, and this was further developed by the Romans, Julius Caesar was ‘pinched’ daily to relieve neuralgia. So as we see massage goes back many thousands of years.
Through any number of reasons muscles tend to develop tension either through general aging, body use, like exercise or how we use our bodies in our daily lives. Or the muscle may also be protecting and supporting an injured area or weakness.
When injuries occur surrounding tissues tend to stiffen to add support and protect. This can reduce blood flow and in turn reduce nutrients to and the removal of waste from the tissue. Massage is a way of reversing and rectifying this over time. Different strokes on the body will pump blood and lymph through the muscle fibers and remove waste such as lactic acid which is thought to cause soreness. Gentle massage around the inflammation is beneficial as well as massage to the other areas of the body which are working harder to compensate for the loss of function.
When muscles are damaged whether a slight strain where a few fibers are torn, or a major strain causing considerable pain, tissue is damaged and here scarring occurs and this can also limit mobility. Fascia tendons and ligaments can also stiffen and shorten, deep tissue release can help this adding flexibility and in turn mobility.
