Relaxing and regeneration massage

Masseur always bases his procedures on individual problems and physical disposal of a particular patient. Massage touches achieve a therapeutic effect in the body, not only at the massaged spots, but also in remote places, or even the whole body. During the massage, the hard skin cells loosen, and thereby release pores, outlets of sweat and sebaceous glands. This improves mechanical processes in the skin cells, the blood circulation in the skin and subcutaneous tissue, and results in an increased supply of oxygen, nutrients, as well as protective agents. At the same time it increases the discharge of waste materials.

Classic massage belongs to the manual treatment techniques immediately affecting the physical and mental state. During the massage the massaged muscles are relaxed and repleted with blood, stiffness of muscles and pain is eliminated, and the client experiences overall physical and mental relaxation. Classical massage can be carried out on the whole body, or only the problematic parts.

Classic massage is a means of mechanic therapy, which positively influences the changes caused by various diseases, physical and mental strain; it improves health and increases overall resistance of the organism. Touch and massage are among the oldest healing methods. They are used for elimination of fatigue, as means of refreshment and regeneration, as well as preparation for or immediately after exercise.

Sports massage is technically similar to the classic massage treatment and is used for active athletes during the whole year training as a recovery routine. The aim is to prepare the body for extreme physical stress, to achieve maximum athletic performance or to remove excessive fatigue after physical exertion. Sports therapies are performed to eliminate pain, muscle tension, or to mitigate injury. Therapies and massages prepare the body of the athlete for exercise and reduce the risk of injury. Sports massage is recommended to professional athletes, but also amateur athletes, in order to achieve better results.

For sports massage it is necessary to take into account the kind of sport, the stage of sports preparation of the athlete, further the scope and intensity of the athlete load, climatic conditions, and athlete’s individual dispositions. 

In contrast to classical massage, the reflexology massage works basically by stimulation of nerve endings within the segments. Various organs and tissues of the body are supplied with nerve fibers, which are interconnected. Several reflex processes are going on with the participation of the higher nerve centers. Changes in the internal organs can cause changes on the surface of the body, in muscles or other internal organs, and vice versa. The same applies to the manifestation of chronic pain. During the reflexology massage, the physiotherapist tries to remove all reflexly induced changes in tissues, which can be treated on the surface of the body – skin, subcutaneous connective tissues, fascia, and muscle. This treatment method is used in particular in functional diseases, degenerative and chronic rheumatic diseases of the spine, joints, post-traumatic conditions and functional diseases of internal organs. Reflexology massage is dry, without the use of massage oils.

Connective tissue techniques are used in the occurrence of reflex changes (ligament zones) in the subcutaneous connective tissue. The effect lies in the irritation of nerve endings in the skin tissue and the connective tissue. The applied technique is either shallow connective technique or friction technique, or a combination there of. After proper application, a strong sense of malaise and fatigue occurs after 1-2 hours with the consequent feel of comfortable release or freshness after a short sleep.

Reflexology foot massage has diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive importance. The legs are outstanding body organs. Each leg has 26 bones (there is a quarter of all the bones of the body in the two legs), 7200 nerve endings and 107 ligaments. Treatment of the reflex zones of the foot improves blood circulation, stimulates and affects virtually all organs and body parts. There is one of the many microsystems on the feet with easy reach and therapeutic accessibility of the whole body.

Cupping and vacuum massage is effective for detoxification, sparking of energy, musculoskeletal pain and many internal difficulties. It involves placing of round containers on body under proper vacuum. This negative pressure vigorously opens the pores, and draws out nuisances. If a spot is weakened, it almost always manifests by an increased amount of toxins in the area. Bruises and swelling often occur after cupping.  Cupping purifies blood, has anti-inflammatory effect, and is used in the treatment of headache, migraine, rheumatic diseases, joint pain, release of excessive muscle tone, angina, pain of gall bladder, stomach, kidney, leg edema, depression, asthma, disorders of the menstrual cycle, digestion difficulties, anemia, inflammation of the ovaries.
