What Is Therapy Message? Holistic massage is the use of hands or mechanical means, to manipulate the soft tissues of the body, particularly muscles. It is based on traditional Swedish massage but also incorporates a wide range of other techniques such as lymphatic drainage and deep tissue massage. It can be used for relaxation, stimulation or rehabilitation of the whole body or part of it. It promotes suppleness of the muscles, improves circulation and reduces muscular pain and stress. The muscles are manually stretched and encouraged to stop contracting. I also incorporate the Bellabaci cupping method where appropriate after consultation. Bellabaci cupping is a modified, simplified version of the Ancient Chinese Cupping method. It utilises the silicon hand squeezed vacuum cups to create negative pressure on the surface of the skin, this stimulates the circulation and lymphatic system to drain excess fluids and lactic acid build up in the muscles. It can be a great treatment for fluid retention, “heavy” legs or tight leg muscles from training, and cellulite it can also help to loosen stubborn “Old knots” by using negative pressure
Did you know? Our muscles are made up of strands of fibres; these fibres are responsible for the movement of muscle contraction. However the problem begins when they contract and then instead of relaxing they stay contracted, when these fibres won't loosen, and it is for the likening of this to a tangled piece of rope that we call it a knot. Not much is known about why this may happen, but some possible causes are injury, stress, emotional and physical fatigue, poor postural habits or working positions. When the fibres tighten the blood flow is restricted, and nutrients and oxygen have a tougher time getting into the belly of the muscle, and the waste has a tough time getting out. Imagine a tangled piece of rope, knotted when in the sea, and then left out in the sun; it dries and is ingrained with salt. Through pressure and manipulation massage starts to separate the fibres and untangle the knot, thus allowing fluids to move in and waste to move out.
