What is 'holistic massage'? A holistic massage is an individual massage treatment that is specifically tailored to each client. A true holistic massage is unique, following no fixed routine and focusing on more than just superficial aches and pains. A holistic approach treats the body as a whole, and a holistic massage practitioner takes into account a client's emotional and spiritual well-being, as well as their physical body. For a holistic practitioner, a wide range of massage techniques must be mastered, including gentle massage, stretches, relaxation work and very deep tissue techniques. Flexibility in applying this breadth of knowledge is paramount since their appropriateness must be determined by the client's needs at that particular time. During holistic massage training, great importance is placed on how the practitioner communicates and interacts with the client. The therapist massages the person, not just their body, working 'with' the client rather than giving a massage 'to' them.
