Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massage is a more effective well-being procedure that has been applied for thousands of years. This method involves manual manipulation of various parts of the body. This type of massage is used for successful treatment of various diseases and the recovery process after injuries. This therapy practically has no side effects or restrictions since it is painless and does not require the application of chemical substances that could negatively affect the body as a whole.
Therapeutic massage is usually used for preventing or alleviating health problems. It is especially recommended in the following cases:
- After injuries;
- In cases of joint, muscle, and musculoskeletal system diseases (sciatica, spondylosis, osteochondrosis, spinal asymmetry, etc.);
- In various neurologically originated diseases;
- For body weight correction and metabolism stabilization;
- To restore working capacity and improve emotional well-being;
- For strengthening the immune system, etc.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual lymphatic drainage is a massage method that, using special techniques, promotes the movement of lymph vessels and fluid drainage from tissues. Manual lymphatic drainage is a method of lymphedema therapy. This method is often combined with compression therapy or compression bandaging.
Sports Massage
Sports massage, unlike therapeutic or classic massage, is a deeper and more intense massage of the body muscles. During this massage, increased attention is given to joint movements and tissue warming, as well as the development of trigger points.
Various microtraumas in the muscles can occur during training. Sports massage helps eliminate these phenomena, simultaneously promoting the healing processes and stimulating blood circulation.
Classic Massage
Classic massage is a therapeutic method that, through mechanical irritation, acts on the body and promotes its functioning. Various techniques (kneading, stroking, rubbing, etc.) are used in the classic massage method. Tissues are mechanically irritated with different degrees of strength, which, in turn, contributes to the body’s recovery after physical and mental stress, and induces the movement of tissue fluids, strengthening the immune system and treating various ailments. Many muscle groups in the human body perform opposing movements that can stretch or affect tissues; therefore, with the help of classic massage, disturbances in the coordinated functioning between muscles can be corrected. In addition to other functions, classic massage also provides a relaxing effect.
