Relaxing massage

When to go for a relaxing massage?

This type of massage is recommended especially in states of physical and mental fatigue. If we decide on long-term sports effort or experience stressful situations or have hard days at work, relaxing massage will be the perfect choice. The treatment is very gentle and non-invasive. It is performed in a calm, relaxing atmosphere that allows you to forget about some problems and fully relax and wind down.

The effects of a relaxing massage

In addition to making us feel relaxed and composed, relaxing massage also affects many aspects of the way our body works. Massages allow:

• eliminating pain – that’s why they are recommended after injuries or supportive, e.g. during rehabilitation after accidents,
• improving metabolism – accelerates the process of burning unnecessary fat,
• improving blood supply to the body – guarantees the expansion of capillaries, and thus preventing the formation of venous blood clots,
• stimulating the lymphatic system – allows you to remove toxins from the body faster and strengthens immunity.

What does a relaxing massage look like?

Relaxing massage can occur in the form of a holistic massage, i.e. covering all parts of the body from the feet to the neck, or focusing on one or several parts of the body. Very often a relaxing massage is performed around the neck, back, legs, spine.

There are many techniques during the procedure. Mostly, masseurs gradually increase pressure and tension by applying:

• stroking – it usually starts and ends the massage and has a relaxing effect
• kneading – it improves tissue blood supply
• rubbing – it reduces swelling and deposits
• patting the edge of the hand or the whole hand – it stimulates blood supply

The movements during the massage are smooth and slow, thanks to which patients can freely be introduced into a state of relaxation.
