Classic massages Classical massage is a holistic method of relaxing or activating the body. Skin and muscles are treated with stroking, bending and kneading movements. Tapping and vibration techniques are used and the targeted application of cold and heat is employed. The stimulating massage of the skin - the largest human sensory organ - has an all-round positive effect on body, soul and spirit.

Foot reflex zone massage Foot reflexology is part of acupressure. People have the most reflex points of the body on their feet.

The whole body, all organs and muscles can be reached through the feet. In this way reflexology reaches the mind and soul. Massaging activates and regulates body areas, organs and glands. The self-healing powers are mobilized.

Sports massages

Sports massage is a supplement to classical massage. Here you use the grips of the classic massage as well as other complementary grips and address the needs of the athlete and the special problems in sports. Assuming that active athletes are more robust than possibly frail elderly people, the massage is performed accordingly more vigorously, preparing the body for an upcoming physical load and supplying it with blood. Cramps that develop during training can be treated with the stretching grips that are part of the sports massage. After training, the massage has a regenerating and relaxing effect.

Trigger point therapy

The aim of trigger point therapy is to eliminate so-called "myofascial trigger points". These are localized muscle hardening in the skeletal muscles, which are locally sensitive to pressure and from which transmitted pain can originate. About 80 to 90% of pain syndromes are said to be due to such hardening of the muscles.

For example, a myofascial trigger point in the shoulder lifter muscle (trapezius muscle), which can trigger pain in the occipital / temporal region, is also the trigger for these pain symptoms in most cases. The therapeutic options are mainly aimed at the targeted reduction / deactivation of the permanently contracted muscle fibers as well as the subsequent sustainable prophylaxis of these permanently shortened or improperly loaded muscles (unfavorable working posture, poor training conditions, etc.). Depending on the affected muscle, the following options are available: specific manual physiotherapeutic treatment techniques, treatment by acupressure (sometimes also possible with self-treatment).
