What’s the difference between Holistic Facial Massage and facial treatment?

A facial massage using which is truly ‘Holistic’ based on ancient Indian techniques. This massage is performed with or without oils or creams, the entire procedure is performed with the hands. Facial rejuvenation is a combination of facial exercises and massage.

There are dozens of muscles in your face which contract to reveal different expressions. If these expressions become habitual the muscles may stiffen up. These expressions, which give us all our unique looks, can also produce wrinkles in our face which in turn, lends to the expression, as we get older, that we acquire the face we deserve!

You may get the face you deserve, but nothing is set in stone. Perhaps you deserve better and you can work towards this with a face lift massage.

People tend to get locked into one expression which means many of our 90 facial muscles are not being exercised. Tight muscles put pressure on the capillaries and veins, leading to sluggish circulation. The tiny movements of the massage bring blood back to the surface. You will notice a difference after one treatment, but for a lasting effect you need at least three.

Facial rejuvenation works on the structure of the skin, to ease restrictions and lift up the face. Most of the skin is made up of connective tissue, which is formed from fibres of proteins such as collagen and elastin. These fibres weave together to form a flexible we-like structure. In younger tissues, the fibres slide past each other freely, giving suppleness and flexibility. But over time, toxic by-products build up in the skin, causing fibres to lock together so that the skin loses much of its mobility. Facial rejuvenation helps to release the tissues, gently allowing the connective tissue to regain its freedom and elasticity.

" This facial massage gives amazing results. It relieves tension from areas you had no idea where tense proving that you don’t need cosmetic surgery to look younger."

Most people do not realise how much tension is held in the face. Have you ever noticed with older people, how some hold their age very well, with very little sign of wrinkles? Some people even in their 30’s are starting to show real stress in their face. More and more people have the money but not the time to spare for looking after themselves properly. This facial massage takes approximately 1 hour.

Face lift massage works towards reversing the aging process by toning, manipulating, and softening the muscles of the face. This could also be combined with an Indian Head treatment, which would have double complimentary benefits. The neck and shoulder massage would relieve the tension in that area. After having the deep work done, what better than to have the beneficial and rejuvenating rewards of a natural face lift massage?

" Massage exercises the facial muscles and stimulates the lymphatic system, which removes toxins from the body, a build-up of which causes bags under the eyes."

I deeply believe that tackling all these symptoms from the muscles outwards would give a deeply beneficial and in depth facial massage, which is more in line with what the woman (and man) of 2008 is looking for.

" Most women (and men) looking for a facial treatment, are looking to explore every angle. There are lots and lots of skin care products on the market that are hugely beneficial, but it is really the natural facelift way that would permanently help. A client could be advised to have a normal facial one week and a facelift massage the next week, combining the two would have amazing and lasting results. "

It is a good idea to take before and after pictures of the results of this massage, or even show a client the results after working on one half of her face!

Holistic Asian oil Full Body Massage ( Deep Tissue Massage)

Deep Tissue Massage is a massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fiber's of the muscles, tendons and fascia.

Deep tissue massage is used to release chronic muscle tension through slower strokes and more direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles not with the grain. Deep tissue massage helps to break up and eliminate scar tissue. Deep tissue massage usually focuses on more specific areas and may cause some soreness during or right after the massage. However, if the massage is done correctly you should feel better than ever within a day or two.

Why get a Deep Tissue Massage?
It feels good and it is beneficial to your health. When muscles are stressed, they block oxygen and nutrients, leading to inflammation that builds up toxins in the muscle tissue. A deep-tissue massage helps loosen muscle tissues, release toxins from muscles and get blood and oxygen circulating properly. Because many toxins are released, it's important to drink plenty of water after a deep-tissue session to help eliminate these toxins from the body.

What is the purpose of Deep Tissue Massage?
The purpose is to "unstuck" the fibers of a muscle while releasing deeply-held patterns of tension, removing toxins, while relaxing and soothing the muscle. It is both corrective and therapeutic.

Holistic massage is based on traditional Swedish massage techniques but with the use of oil instead of talcum powder. Swedish massage was developed by a Swedish physiologist and fencing master who after studying in China developed a system of movements that he found helped to improve his health and physical condition. Holistic massage provides a very relaxing massage, which can be adapted specifically to each client's needs. By adjusting the strokes used the massage can be relaxing, invigorating, stimulating or tension busting. It is a full body massage, which treats the person as a whole, not just the physical symptoms but also the psychology, environment and nutrition, and the effects that these can have on us.

Holistic massage takes into account the client's integral biology, which is the study of our environment's effect on both our physical and mental health. Work, exercise, diet and sedentary activity all have an effect on our bodies, physically and psychologically. By getting a clear picture of the client's life and integral biology, it enables the therapist to treat not just the symptoms, but often the cause. It also helps the therapist to tailor the treatment more appropriately for each client.

Holistic massage has many benefits, some of these include improved circulation, waste removal, skin tone and digestion. It can help relieve muscle fatigue, stiff joints and stress. It encourages sleep and promotes a feeling of well being by releasing endorphins (happy hormones). The psychological uplift that people experience when receiving a holistic massage can often help them to cope with the stresses in their lives that usually they would struggle to deal with.
