Therapeutic massages for greater well-being. Our physiotherapists will be happy to treat you. Therapeutic massage offers three forms of treatment, which can be used individually or in combination. In addition to classic massage techniques for therapeutic purposes, foot reflexology and manual lymphatic drainage are also available. Manual lymphatic drainage is prescribed separately. Foot reflexology massages are based on the assumption that the human body is reflected in the foot.
Depending on which area of the sole of the foot is massaged, the gentle pressure has an effect on different parts of the body. Massages have a healing effect and are an extraordinarily natural way to maintain and achieve physical health. While the traditional massage technique primarily uses the hands to apply traction and pressure to the tissue, manual lymphatic drainage follows decongestive measures.
Using special grip techniques, our physiotherapists stimulate the motor function of the lymphatic vessels and thus facilitate the removal of excess tissue fluid. The aim of traditional massage techniques is to promote the activation of regenerative cycles.
This leads to an improvement in blood circulation during the treatment, followed a little later by a much more active metabolism. In addition to the physical component, classic massages help to reduce nervousness and mental tension. In addition, there is the direct activation of tendons, joints and ligaments, which contribute to physical well-being and improve the vegetative sensation.
The individually tailored massages with various possible combinations act on deeper muscle structures and the overlying skin. A mixture of passive joint movement, muscle stretching, muscle energy techniques, functional massages and the search for trigger points fully address the causes of musculoskeletal complaints. The aim is to solve problems in the musculoskeletal system such as scars, muscle tension, adhesions or shortening in the connective tissue or muscles.
