Therapeutic massage
What is
Therapeutic massage consists of a set of manoeuvres whereby the therapist makes contact with the patient’s skin to stimulate the skin and adjacent tissues. Therapeutic massage is applied in order to determine vascular and biochemical reactions in the vicinity of the massage area or even on the whole body.
How to apply?
The principle of therapeutic massage is to mobilise soft tissues: muscles, fascia and body fluids. The manoeuvres involve acting, manually or with tools and devices, on the body applying: pressure, tension, vibration. Target tissues may include muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, joints, or other connective tissues, as well as lymphatic vessels or organs in the digestive system. Therapeutic massage can be applied using hands, fingers, elbows, knees and feet. Therapy involves placing the patient on a bed or massage chair or lying on a mattress or floor. The person undergoing the massage can be completely or partially undressed and the procedure lasts between 15 and 45 minutes depending on the recommendations.
What conditions does it treat?
Therapeutic massage is gently applied to the body and has multiple and very important benefits on the body. It is successfully used in recovery from injuries, bone, joint or peripheral nerve injuries (fractures, sprains, dislocations, meniscus injuries, etc.).
