Therapeutic massage - much more than the power of touch

Many people think of massage as a form of pampering, a form of touch therapy that refreshes the body and mind and relieves stress. Today, there are no two massage techniques, but therapeutic massage is fundamentally different from all of them.

The reason for this is that therapeutic massage is intrinsically linked to physiotherapy, physical therapy and the expert treatment of musculoskeletal problems, and is not a full body treatment, but focuses on the part of the body that is affected.

The medical masseur adapts to specific needs

An important feature of therapeutic massage is that it not only relieves the muscles and connective tissue - the fascia - from the blockages and thus relieves pain, but once the muscles are relaxed, the qualified massage therapist also uses special mobilisation and mobilisation techniques. These help to restore joint mobility.

Four massages for one purpose: healing

• A Swedish massage focuses on the muscles, joints and tendons throughout the body. It helps to relax spasming muscles, restoring their range of motion.
• A connective tissue massage is used to relax the connective tissue that has become tense as a result of musculoskeletal disorders or internal organ problems, thus also having a healing effect on the original illness.
• A segmental massage affects the relationship between the condition of the skin and connective tissue and the functioning of the underlying internal organs in the spinal area.
• A periosteal (periosteal) massage acts on the nerves located in the periosteum to improve blood flow and metabolism in the organs by remote reflexes.

Therapeutic massage improves the effectiveness of physiotherapy

Therapeutic massage is always a personalised treatment, which rheumatologist or orthopaedic is prepared by our medical masseur according to the prescriptions of our specialist. If the massage is done before a physiotherapy session, the movement is even more effective because the muscles are already prepared for the load.
