The word holistic comes from the Greek word holos which means whole.

The holistic approach to massage treats the person as a whole: as an entire unit rather than as individual parts. It attempts to bring physical, emotional, social and spiritual dimensions of the persons being into balance.

Complementary therapists aim to achieve a state of balance (homeostasis) and to stimulate the natural healing forces of the body.

Holistic medicine is concerned with maintaining good health and preventing disease from occurring.
