• Compression Massage: Applies rhythmic pressure to muscles, stimulating circulation and reducing muscle fatigue. This technique is particularly effective in preparing muscles for intense physical activity.
• Friction Massage: Involves deep, circular movements over muscle fibers and connective tissues. This technique helps break down scar tissue and adhesions, improving mobility and reducing pain.
• Lymphatic Drainage Massage: Employs gentle, rhythmic strokes to stimulate the lymphatic system. This technique aids in detoxification, reduces swelling, and enhances the body's immune response.
• Neuromuscular Therapy combines deep and static pressure on specific areas of muscle spasm. This technique helps relieve trigger points and chronic pain, promoting muscle relaxation and recovery.
