Touch is used to sooth and stimulate and affects both body and emotions. Touch is a vital means of expression. Massage extends tactile expression to relax or invigorate. By varying the stroke different effects are achieved. Some sooth, others tone or stimulate. A skillfully applied stroke can leave you feeling lighter, more energetic, uplifted, calmer, more open, happier, peaceful and confident.

Today therapists provide a vital health enhancing and balancing approach to an individuals well being. Hippocrates 460-377BC advocated massage and many of his techniques are still in use today. Ayurvedic massage from India utilises massage strokes along with tissue joint stretching. Holistic massage may include the use of various techniques, all types of Swedish massage strokes plus energy balancing, breath awareness and passive movements.
