It is a massage with deeper techniques, which aims at the balance and restructuring of muscle fibers, aimed at the recovery of tissues affected by muscle tensions and contractures. The accumulation of muscle tension can occur due to several factors such as stress, excessive repetitive activities, weight overload, muscle pain, physical activity or very intense sports, which can lead to muscle fatigue. In these cases, massage therapy is always a good option in muscle recovery.
Application / Treatment
Therapeutic massage is a massage for the treatment of muscle injuries and pain, which can be performed by physiotherapists or therapists specializing in health and wellness.
Before performing the massage it is necessary to make a diagnostic assessment, to know what are the complaints, if they have a joint or spine problem, which may be triggering muscle pain or some inflammatory process. Our role is not only to relieve muscle pain or contracture through massage therapy, but also to find out the causes and treat them properly. If there are misaligned, misplaced vertebrae or muscle shortening, some physical therapy or osteopathy techniques need to be performed.
The massage therapy is manual, performed with rhythmic movements and deeper techniques, using more pressure with the hands and fingers. The goal of massage therapy is to treat and relieve the muscle tension generated by some kind of stress, to release the muscles that are trapped or shortened and to relieve the pain. This massage will not only recover and treat the muscles but will also produce a feeling of well-being and deep relaxation.
DURATION TIME: It depends on the areas that will be treated, and may vary from 40 to 90min according to each clinical case.
