Classic healing massage

Classic massage relieves muscle tension and pain. The massage usually lasts up to half an hour, the masseuse works on the patient’s back, legs, arms, shoulders and neck.
Deep massage

Medical massage
The purpose of medical massage is to address any dysfunctional areas or problems in the soft tissues of the body. It differs from therapeutic massage in that it is not aimed at removing tension or stress from the body. This type of massage is used to treat patients recovering from injuries or surgical procedures.
After an injury or surgery, the patient usually avoids using the muscles that are injured or surrounding the injured segment until the injury has healed. At this time, inactive muscles lose elasticity and function. Massage is used to rehabilitate inactive muscles. It stimulates proper movement, improves blood circulation and prevents further injuries.
Medical massage is specially designed for those who need muscle recovery after injuries or surgeries. Massage should be performed on the recommendation of a doctor.
