Therapeutic and relaxation massage
Therapeutic massage
It is a treatment modality focused on solving specific problems related to the body's soft tissues, such as muscles, ligaments and tendons. This approach aims to treat areas of tension, adhesions or muscle dysfunction, helping to relieve pain, improve mobility and optimize body function.
Relaxation Massage
Relaxation massage is a gentler technique focused mainly on general body relaxation and stress reduction. Using fluid movements and light to moderate pressure, this massage seeks to promote a feeling of well-being, reduce muscle tension and improve blood circulation. Unlike massage therapy, which focuses on specific problem areas, relaxation massage is more global, providing a peaceful and rejuvenating experience for body and mind.
Benefits
Pain relief
Pain relief: Massage therapy, in particular, is effective in reducing or relieving pain in problem areas, whether due to muscle tension, injuries or chronic conditions.
Stress reduction
Relaxation massage is especially known for promoting a deep state of relaxation, helping to reduce stress and release feel-good hormones such as serotonin and oxytocin.
Improved circulation
Both massage modalities help to improve blood and lymph circulation, which can facilitate the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the cells and speed up the removal of metabolic waste.
Increased Flexibility
Massage can help relax and stretch tense muscles, improving joint range of motion and increasing overall flexibility.
Stimulation of the Immune System
Some research suggests that massage can help stimulate the immune system by increasing the number of defense cells in the body.
Promoting Mental Wellbeing
In addition to the physical benefits, massage can help improve mental health by improving sleep and fighting fatigue.
