I know im not a regular poster on here although i do read posts several times a week, i just have to post this to get it off my chest!
Im so tired of therapists calling holistic massage the same as swedish massage, its simply is NOT !!!
Now swedish massage is great, lovely and fine! but it is not the same as holistic and any holistic practitioner should know this!!!!!
I know that ITEC now call their swedish massage course an holistic massage course but it falls very short of a true holistic massage, i myself teach on a MTI holistic massage course and i can tell you we incoporate much more than the itec course in terms of techniques ( yes there are all the swedish one but we teach many others too!!) and in terms of body energy etc etc. , there is no taught 'routine' either!
So all you lovely practitioners out there, please stop saying that swedish is the same as holsitic ! it is not ! In holistic massage we are also taught how to treat certain injuries too!!!! its not just a relaxing, or beauty massage ( although there is nothing wrong in that, its wonderful).
phewww..sorry about that folks but i just had to say it!
kindest regards
