Full Body Classical Massage

What is Full Body Classical Massage

Performed by qualified masseurs, the classical massage, sometimes referred to as a ‘medical’ massage, uses a variety of techniques during treatment. The massage generally targets areas where secondary changes have occurred as a result of strain or injury. It is normally conducted in the following areas: back, arms, lower extremities (except for varicose legs), chest and neck.


How Full Body Classical Massage helps

Its aim is to speed up the recovery process by improving circulation in the problematic area. As well as improving blood flow to the targeted region, it can relax or stimulate muscles and mitigate pain.

Advisable for:

Musculoskeletal diseases, orthopaedic and accident rehabilitation, stress, fatigue, metabolic and circulatory diseases, connective tissue disorders, neurological diseases

Not advisable for:

Infectious diseases, fever, acute inflammation, untreated or uncontrolled hypertension, epilepsy, acute thrombosis, leg ulcers and other skin defects, certain skin diseases, incontinence, pregnancy, psychosis, alcohol or drug abuse, incurable malignant tumours and blood clotting disorders
