Medizinische Massage Obwalden (Sachseln)

Classic massage (medical massage) Classical massage is used to mechanically influence the skin, connective tissue and muscles. The effect of massage can be observed both on the treated area of the body and on the whole organism. In addition, it also affects the psyche. This form of massage is aimed at painful complaints or tensions and is individually adapted to your needs. Massage during pregnancy: I am specially designed for the needs of pregnant women, with a choice of pillows. You can lie comfortably on it with a large belly and get a massage. Manual lymphatic drainage (medical massage). Manual lymphatic drainage is still unknown as a form of therapy for many people. It is suitable for the treatment of edema (water retention in the tissues). Lymphatic drainage has proven effective, for example, for edema in cancer patients whose lymph nodes have been surgically removed. Other indications include swelling after surgery, dislocations, strains, sprains, torn muscle fibers, burns, whiplash and Sudeck's disease. Connective tissue massage (medical massage) The importance of connective tissue for our body has been discovered only in recent years. You can currently read a lot about it in various media, especially under the word fascia. There are many more pain and motion sensors in the connective tissue or fascia than in the muscles and joints. This makes it the largest human sensory organ. There is a very close connection with the autonomic nervous system (this regulates almost everything in our body, for example: sleep and wake rhythm, digestion, relaxation, stress). Connective tissue massage uses the segmental connection of organ systems (a nerve always passes through skin, connective tissue, muscles, periosteum). With a targeted stimulus to the skin thus affect the nerve and thus all the areas it passes through. Connective tissue massage is mainly used for diseases of internal organs, muscle tension and rheumatic diseases. I offer connective tissue massage as a complement to other methods. Reflexology (medical massage) Reflexology is based on the assumption that certain zones on the foot are assigned to corresponding organs and areas of the body. This makes it possible to treat the entire body through the foot. In practice, it has been shown that this type of massage often allows for significant relaxation. I offer foot reflexology as a complement to other methods.
