Holistic Massage in Plymouth

In today’s fast-paced world, stress seems to be a constant companion for most of us. Massage therapy offers a sanctuary of calm and relaxation.

Gentle muscle manipulation and rhythmic motion can stimulate the release of endorphins, natural mood enhancers. This not only helps alleviate stress but may also improve mental clarity and emotional well-being.

Holistic Massage and the Mind-Body Connect

As a Massage Therapist and complementary Health Specialist in Plymouth, I work alongside conventional medicine or as an alternative practitioner to help you achieve your best well-being, with aromatherapy and other oils enhancing your therapy experience.

A holistic massage doesn’t focus on just one part of your body. I can help you manage or cope with specific physical, mental, or emotional problems. All body parts are intrinsically linked, and the health of one part can benefit the overall health of the rest of your body.

Reduce Stress and Anxiety

Holistic massages are very relaxing, using methods that will help you breathe deeply and enter a meditative-like state, relieving anxiety and stress that you may be holding.

Massage evokes several physiological effects that most commonly occur to help reduce stress: increased endorphins, serotonin, tissue elasticity, and dopamine, as well as a lowering of cortisol levels.

Massage also stimulates your body’s natural production of positive hormones, and their release reduces stress and anxiety and improves stress-related sleep problems.

Help with sleep

Sleep is the most essential step in maintaining general health and well-being. However, nearly one in five people in the UK don’t get enough sleep.

Disrupting your sleep cycle may affect cognitive skills, alertness, mood, and short-term memory accuracy. Massage can help relieve stress and chronic pains that keep you from sleeping.

It can also help reset your sleep cycle by increasing serotonin levels (essential to producing melatonin), leading to a better night’s sleep overall. Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone associated with your sleep cycle or circadian rhythm.

What else can a Holistic Massage help with?

General physical conditions
Holistic therapy massage can aid the recovery of a wide range of conditions.

There is increasing evidence to suggest that massage can be effective in helping to treat some chronic conditions, such as fibromyalgia and low back pain.

Improve muscular tension
Massage can reduce muscle tightness by increasing blood flow. With this decrease in tension, muscles can be stretched to their total capacity, relieving tension in the muscle fibres and tissue, improving tissue elasticity and increasing the overall range of movement.
General health
From stress, anxiety, and sleeplessness to poor digestion, pain, injury recovery, muscle strain, migraines, and sinus congestion. Massage may be beneficial for optimising good health and building resilience.

Calming your nervous system
Massage can be particularly powerful in calming the nervous system because it helps to balance and regulate the vital functions of the autonomic nervous system.

Remedial massage can stimulate or soothe your nerves to create the needed outcome and offer a calming and relaxing effect on the entire body.
