The Benefits of Holistic Therapies in Care Settings

Holistic therapies such as massage, Reiki and reflexology can help improve the quality of life for service users in care settings. These therapies can provide emotional and physical benefits to service users, while also helping them feel more connected and cared for. In this blog post, we’ll explore how holistic therapies can benefit service users in care settings, as well as why The Holistic Coach House is an ideal provider of training for care organisations looking to implement these therapies.






The Benefits of Holistic Therapies for Service Users in Care Settings

Holistic therapies can be beneficial for both emotional and physical wellbeing. For example, massage therapy has been found to reduce stress levels and improve sleep quality, while Reiki has been shown to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Reflexology may help with pain management, improve circulation, boost energy levels and alleviate muscle tension. All of these therapies have the potential to make a positive difference in the lives of service users in care settings.


In addition to providing physical benefits, holistic therapies can also make service users feel more connected and cared for. One way this happens is through therapeutic touch—which is very different from the physical contact that often occurs due to task-oriented jobs within a care setting. Therapeutic touch involves gentle strokes or hand placements on various parts of the body that are intended to promote relaxation and healing while making the user feel safe and secure. This kind of connection is especially important for those who may be feeling lonely or isolated due to their circumstances.
