Therapeutic massage

In Ortokinetic medical centers we offer several types of massage, including:

• sports massage – aimed at people involved in sports activities to prevent or treat their injuries; it is a gentle form of massage involving prolonged skin contact, but also kneading, smoothing, friction, deep movements, vibration in order to relax and energize.
• deep tissue massage – this is a form of massage where stronger pressure is used, targeting the deep layers of muscles and connective tissue, usually to treat muscle injuries caused by various accidents.
• trigger point massage therapy – the massage focuses on trigger points or sensitive areas of tight muscle fibers that may form in the muscles as a result of injury or physical overuse.
• reflexogenic zone massage or reflexotherapy – is considered an alternative therapy and the easiest form of treatment; areas of energy imbalance are found and by stimulating certain points energy harmony is restored; it can be applied at any age and the stimulated areas are the soles, palms, face, ear, tongue, spine;
• reflexotherapy has both curative and preventive purposes because it can detect imbalances before the disease is felt, reflex points becoming sensitive and painful to palpation in case of a possible disease; it helps to improve blood circulation, eliminate toxins, regain mental balance, post-operative speeds up the body’s recovery and in case of fractures can greatly reduce the healing time.

In addition to the benefits obtained in the case of certain diseases, massage involves a psychological comfort and is a good adjuvant for the general well-being of the patient.
Massage should not replace medical care specific to the patient’s condition.
