Holistic Massage Therapy

Service Description

This type of massage is based on the Swedish system using classical massage techniques such as effleurage, petrissage and percussion. It was developed by Per Henrik Ling, a physiologist and fencing master who created a system of movements to maintain his physical condition and improve his overall health. A holistic massage is a whole body massage designed to stimulate every system in the body. The various massage techniques soothe and warm up the muscles, alleviate muscular tension, loosen tightness around the joints, improve blood and lymph circulation and induce relaxation. • Effleurage: soothing and relaxing strokes which improve circulation. • Petrissage: kneading and rubbing movements to manipulate and stretch tissues and muscles. • Percussion: brisk, invigorating and energising strokes where the hands tap the body rapidly and suddenly. This technique helps break fatty deposits, improves circulation and invigorates the nerves.
