Therapeutic massage - step by step
Therapeutic Massage
step by step
Therapeutic massage is a targeted therapeutic technique designed to relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and aid tissue recovery after injury or overuse. It differs from relaxation massage in its focus on specific problem areas and the use of deeper techniques to affect muscles and connective tissue.
Procedure (60 min.)
Therapeutic massage can be effective for both acute and chronic conditions, and is often combined with physiotherapy or other physical therapy methods to achieve steady progress.
It's a personalized approach to your condition. The therapist uses a variety of techniques such as deep tissue massage, myofascial release, trigger point work and therapeutic stretching to address specific muscle dysfunctions, spasms and pain conditions. The goal is not just temporary relief, but long-lasting improvement through:
- Pain relief — reduces tension in muscles and nerve structures
- Improving blood circulation — better tissue trophicity and clearance of metabolites
- Speeding up recovery — especially for sports injuries and overuse
Price: 50 euros. (60min)
Frequently asked questions about Therapeutic Massage
What is the difference between therapeutic and relaxing massage?
Relaxation massage is aimed at general relaxation and stress reduction. Therapeutic massage uses deeper and specific techniques on muscles, fascia and connective tissue to address pain, limited mobility and other musculoskeletal problems.
How often is it necessary to have a therapeutic massage?
Frequency depends on your condition, severity of symptoms, and goals. For acute conditions, more frequent sessions (2-3/week) may be needed, while for chronic or maintenance conditions, once every 1-2 weeks. The therapist prepares an individual plan.
Is therapeutic massage painful?
Moderate "good" discomfort is possible when treating tense areas, but the massage should not be excruciatingly painful. Pressure and technique adapt to your tolerance.
Are there any contraindications for therapeutic massage?
Yes. For acute infections, high fever, varicose veins (in the affected area), certain skin diseases, thrombosis and certain heart problems, it should be used with caution or avoided. Specific techniques are used during pregnancy. Always inform the therapist about health conditions.
