Through the specific treatment of individual parts of the body we can achieve various positive effects, for example a local increase in blood circulation, lowering of the blood pressure and heart rate, pain relief and stress reduction. We also use medical massages after operations and injuries to improve wound healing or to loosen up scars and adhesions.
In a medical massage we affect the skin, connective tissue and muscles through stimuli such as stretching, traction and pressure.
MEDICAL MASSAGE
We manually influence the skin, the deeper tissue and the musculature. Due to its wide-ranging positive effects, we can counteract a variety of symptoms with classical massage, from tension and muscle pain to migraines and headaches, as well as psychological tension, anxiety and stress.
We use classical massage for prevention and treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, but it is also used for relaxation purposes.
CLASSICAL MASSAGE
We combine techniques of classical massage with techniques used for stretching your muscles and passive mobilisations of your joints. With this measure we work against the shortening of muscles and ligaments and prevent various movement restrictions.
The mobilising massage is a manual reflex massage for the joints and the spine.
MOBILISING MASSAGE
In addition, it has a regulating effect on your nervous system and has a beneficial effect on the functioning of your internal organs. This is why we use connective tissue massage not only for complaints such as arthrosis, rheumatism or spinal problems, but also for problems with the respiratory tract or digestion, as well as other internal, neurological and gynaecological disorders.
With the connective tissue massage we loosen local adhesions and tensions, whereby the skin is moved with special grip techniques against the subcutaneous connective tissue.
CONNECTIVE TISSUE MASSAGE
In doing so, we create friction transverse to the direction of the affected muscle or tendon fibres, whereby we achieve a local improvement in blood circulation. In addition, we can use the treatment to reduce muscle tone in cases of hardening and to help relieve pain by stimulating certain receptors in your skin. Deep Friction is used to treat tendonitis caused by sports or chronic overuse, scarred adhesions and muscular hardening.
This special type of massage is performed on muscles as well as tendon and tendon-bone junctions to relieve pain and mobilise certain tendons and muscles locally.
