Holistic Massage

Massage has been used for thousands of years to alleviate pain and the symptoms of disease to promote good health and relaxation. Swedish Massage utilizes stroking, kneading, friction, tapping, vibration and joint movement to benefit all of the body systems.

How often to have a massage depends upon your life circumstances and your goals.  For relaxation and maintenance, I recommend once or twice a month to receive the benefits massage can give.

For those in stressful situations or occupations, receiving massage weekly or every other week can help you cope with the stress in your life.  Many times my clients tell me that their body knows when it is time for massage.  The main thing is not to let the stress and tension in the body get out of control.  The hour each week is time spent wisely.

For those dealing with pain, initially receiving massage once or twice a week can have great benefit.  With the reduction of pain, the massage sessions can be received once a week and then less frequently as you move into a maintenance program.
