Massage therapy offers a plethora of health benefits, and Holisportsmas is proud to provide a variety of techniques suitable for diverse client needs. Massage has a rich history, originating in ancient China and Egypt around 2700 BCE and 2500 BCE, respectively. Techniques evolved globally, with notable contributions from India (Ayurvedic), Japan (Shiatsu), and Europe (Swedish). The benefits of massage therapy include alleviating muscle tension, improving circulation, reducing pain, enhancing flexibility, and supporting overall physical health and well-being. At Holisportsmas, we offer a range of massages tailored to help maximize your physical health and function. Our services include:

1. Swedish Massage: Ideal for relaxation and general wellness, this technique focuses on long, gliding strokes to improve circulation and relieve stress.

2. Deep Tissue Massage: Designed to target deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, this method helps alleviate chronic pain and muscle knots.

3. Ayurvedic Massage: Rooted in ancient Indian traditions, this massage uses specific oils and techniques to harmonize the body and mind.

4. Shiatsu Massage: Originating from Japan, Shiatsu involves applying pressure to specific points on the body to release tension and improve energy flow.

At Holisportsmas, your health and wellbeing are our top priorities. There are certain conditions under which you should avoid scheduling a massage session. If you are feeling unwell, have a fever, cold, or any contagious skin condition, it is advisable to reschedule your appointment to prevent spreading illness and to ensure you get the most benefit from the massage. Additionally, we recommend avoiding massage therapy during the first trimester of pregnancy due to the increased risk of complications. Individuals undergoing active chemotherapy or other intensive medical treatments should consult with their healthcare provider before booking a massage session. Your safety and comfort are essential, so please inform our therapists of any health concerns or medical conditions prior to your appointment.

During your first Holistic and Sports Massage session at Holisportsmas, you'll fill out a detailed health history form. This helps us understand your health background, including any specific conditions or concerns. Your therapist may ask more in-depth questions to determine the areas you'd like to focus on during the massage. It's important to list all your health concerns and any medications you're taking. This information allows your therapist to tailor the massage to your specific needs, ensuring a safe and effective session. Our goal is to help you maximize your physical health, function, and overall wellbeing through personalized care.

At Holisportsmas, our goal is to ensure your comfort and privacy during your massage session. You may undress to your level of comfort. Many clients prefer to keep their underwear on during a massage. Your massage therapist will leave the room so you can undress and lie on the massage table under a top sheet. Regardless of whether you choose to maintain some clothing or not, your therapist will always ensure that you are draped appropriately with the top sheet throughout the session, only uncovering the area being worked on to maintain your privacy and comfort. This approach aligns with our vision to help you maximize your physical health, function, and wellbeing.

At Holisportsmas, our vision is to help you maximize your physical health, function, and wellbeing. During your massage, you should expect a relaxing environment where your comfort is a top priority. Massages should not hurt. If you feel any pain during your session, it's crucial to let your therapist know immediately so they can adjust the pressure accordingly. This ensures that your muscles do not seize up, which would counteract the relaxing effects we aim to achieve. Additionally, while certain techniques may result in mild soreness in the days following your massage—similar to the soreness experienced after a good workout—this is completely normal and typically subsides quickly. Our professional therapists are trained to tailor each massage to your specific needs, ensuring an optimal and enjoyable experience.

At Holisportsmas, our primary goal is to help you maximize your physical health, function, and overall wellbeing through our wellness services. During a massage session, you can expect a serene environment tailored to promote relaxation and tension release. We understand that preferences vary; some clients enjoy having a conversation during their massage while others prefer complete silence. The key is that the session is all about you and your comfort.

Please feel free to communicate your preferences with your therapist. If you'd like anything adjusted such as the room temperature, the pressure applied, or the music volume, let us know at any time. Our skilled therapists are trained to provide a personalized experience that caters to your specific needs and helps you achieve the maximum benefit from the treatment.

Choosing Holisportsmas ensures that your wellness journey is handled with professional care and attention, ensuring a rejuvenating and customized experience every time.
