Therapy
Holistic literally means looking after or taking into
consideration the ‘Whole’ person; your physical, mental and
emotional states. Using an organic oil, balm or cream to
suit your skin, traditional Swedish and specialised massage
techniques help release areas of tension, leaving you
feeling refreshed and relaxed. Massage can promote the
release of endorphins, helping to counteract stress in your
body and to promote happiness. Suitable for all ages and
during pregnancy.*

The basic idea behind massage therapy is to stimulate the
blood and lymphatic systems, helping the body to release
and eliminate toxins and rebalance itself. A very
beneficial therapy for aching muscles and areas of tension,
massage is a perfect maintenance therapy to help keep the
body fit and well. Massage encourages the body to make
Oxytocin and release endorphins, helping to reduce stress
and promote happiness and relaxation.
As with all therapies at Indigo Holistics, a consultation
will be taken before the treatment to assess areas of
tension and stress, to pinpoint which massage techniques
will be of most value, to choose a suitable oil or cream
for your skin, and to establish if there are any
contra-indications to the treatment. In this way, Catherine
can create a unique treatment plan with and for each
client, ensuring a safe and holistic treatment.
Massage therapy can be cumultative, meaning that a course
of treatments might be recommended to help fully facilitate
rebalance.

An organic oil, or plant-based vegan balm or cream is
chosen to suit your skin; this could be a blend of Apricot
Kernel oil, Evening Primrose, Macadamia, Olive, Sunflower
or even Coconut to mention but a few - there are over 15 at
least to choose from, each with unique therapeutic
properties.
"Massage – the manipulation of the soft tissue of the body
– has been used as a healing therapy for many thousands of
years. Records dating back to 2700 B.C. show that in China
massage was used to treat paralysis, chills and fever.
Hippocrates, the famous Greek physician writing in 400
B.C., recommended that physicians should treat sports and
war injuries with massage and rubbing. The ancient cultures
of Japan, Egypt, Rome and Arabia all considered massage to
be calming, soothing and relaxing, and also very important
as a healing therapy. Massage relieves the symptoms of
stiff, tired joints, speeds up digestion and encourages
improved circulation, promotes relaxation and improved
sleep."

* Massage
should never be regarded as an alternative to orthodox
medical treatment, but should rather complement it. If you
are receiving treatment or medication from your doctor, it
may be necessary to check with your GP before having a
treatment. Please make the practitioner aware of all
relevant medical history and alert her to any allergies you
have. Massage should be avoided during the first 3 months
of pregnancy. The massage practitioner cannot diagnose or
treat illnesses of any kind.
