Sports massage
Sports massage accelerates the process of removing lactic acid that occurs during muscle exercise and thus enables a rapid muscle recovery process.
This massage also reduces the accumulation of lactic acid, which ultimately turns into micro-calcifications that can cause muscle tension and possible pain.
Benefits of sports massage
Sports massage is very important in the training process of athletes, but also recreational athletes. Massage, in fact, has a number of benefits, both psychological and physical and physiological. It generally brings the body into a better condition, prevents injuries and reduced mobility, improves tissue elasticity and overall, improves performance and extends the duration of a sports career.
When we talk about the physical benefits of massage, the tissue blood supply stands out. Namely, the movements of pressing the muscles during the massage improve the flow of fluids through the tissue, both blood and lymph. This is especially important for damaged tissues (for example, after training) because with better blood flow, the muscle will be supplied with a greater amount of nutrients and energy needed for recovery.
Aromatherapy massage
Aromatherapy refers to the therapeutic use of essential oils. An essential oil is an aromatic essence obtained by distillation from a single biological source. Essential oils have different effects on the body, mind and soul. Some have an analgesic and antispasmodic effect (alleviating spasms), while most of them have an antibacterial effect. Essential oils can have a sedative or stimulating effect and can help with skin care and wound healing. There are many ways to use essential oils for therapeutic purposes – baths, saunas, foot baths, inhalation, compresses, creams, lotions and perhaps the most common relaxing way is through aromatherapy massage.
How does it help?
Aromatherapy massage is very useful and an excellent way to reduce stress. Essential oils affect the autonomic nervous system and calm the alert state of our body caused by harmful hormones induced by stress. Furthermore, massage itself stimulates circulation, increases the supply of cells with nutrients and oxygen; it also stimulates lymph flow, improving tissue drainage and the immune system. Aromatherapy massage is known to be one of the most effective ways to combat stress and stress-related illnesses.
Relax massage
A pleasant, mild manual massage aimed at nourishing the body in order to improve the general state of health. It serves to prevent stress and fatigue, as well as muscle relaxation.
Symptoms of headache, muscle tension, stiffness in the shoulders and neck, or heaviness in the legs point to psychological tension reflected in the body. The aim of this massage is to provide a feeling of deep relaxation.
Relax massage improves circulation and promotes muscle relaxation. This massage relieves tension and eliminates the negative effects of stress. Gentle movements remove dead cells, nourish and tighten the skin.
Benefits of relaxation massage
As with any type of massage, the benefits of relaxation massage can last for several days after the treatment. It is known that stress is the biggest enemy of a person’s overall health, so relaxation massage is also recommended for the prevention of diseases that can be caused by stress and nervous tension. Relaxation massage, as well as other forms of massage – can provide the following benefits:
- Contributes to lowering blood pressure – at least for a while
- Improves peripheral circulation
- Improves skin tone and appearance
- Reduces muscle tension, including relieving headaches
- Improves the fight against stress
Coconut Massage
Exotic massage with the aroma of coconut. Coconut peeling based on sugar, coconut butter and coconut flour exfoliates the skin and makes it smooth. Coconut butter contains a large amount of minerals that positively affect the quality and beauty of the skin.
As a strong antioxidant, it hydrates the skin and has a preventive effect on the skin aging process. In addition to minerals, vitamins are also included, the most dominant of which is vitamin E. Vitamin E is a strong antioxidant and protects the skin from negative external influences.
During the massage, the only important thing is to be as relaxed, calm and ready for the return of your natural harmony and good feeling. Therefore, a coconut massage is a wonderful opportunity for the body and mind, and a wonderful beneficial aromatic treatment with which you will take care of yourself in an ideal way and allow yourself to relax your body and nourish your skin, so that you can more easily cope with everyday problems and stressful situations.
Thai Massage
Thai massage involves working on energy meridians and acupressure points. The therapists perform the massage itself by pressing with their fingers, elbows, knees or feet, and this type of massage has an extremely beneficial effect on joint problems, sciatica or shoulder pain.
It combines the positive effects of acupressure, yoga and reflexology, so that it achieves calmness and regeneration of tired parts of the body, increases body elasticity, stimulates the work of internal organs and improves circulation.
In addition to regenerating tired parts of the body, Thai massage has an extremely positive effect on reducing and relieving stress, as well as in people who have chronic or frequent headaches. Athletes and people who are exposed to frequent physical exertion are recommended to periodically go for a Thai massage.
Although massage is very pleasant, both physically and mentally, because after it you feel drastically more positive and motivated for any activity, it is recommended that you consume Thai massage 2 to 3 times a month, with the exception of anti-cellulite massage, which is also available in Thai massage salons.
This type of body massage is based on the ten most important energy channels through which life energy flows, which are located two fingers below the surface of the skin and extend throughout the body. Thai massage removes blockages in these channels and allows a complete flow of energy through the body.
The benefits of traditional Thai massage are evidenced by the fact that it is recognized by the International Health Organization of Europe as a natural healing preventive activity

Medical massage
Medical massages can be singled out as the most effective and most attractive type of massage for clients because it uses a series of systematic movements on the body with the aim of manipulating body tissues (skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles and muscle fascia). Massage is performed with the hands for the purpose of direct or indirect effects on the muscular and nervous system and blood and lymph circulation.
We apply medical massage focusing on the diagnosis and the problem for which the person came for treatment.
Medical massage is an excellent way to prepare tissue for the application of mobilization and manipulation techniques. Such a combination brings long-term results because it aims to solve the cause of the problem, not the problem itself, and is an integral part of the rehabilitation treatment plan.
The benefits of medical massage are significant, and the most important would be improvement of sleep, removal of muscle tension and pain, and healing of mental tension and headaches.
Removes pain and tension in muscles
Medical massage helps with tense and painful muscles in which, due to fatigue, lactic acid has accumulated. Although the healing effect of touch on sore muscles has been known since ancient times, massage also achieves an effective analgesic mechanism. Muscle tension is also caused by numerous activities that require taking unnatural positions. This tension is not only a physical discomfort but also weakens mental abilities. The feeling of constant tension, even mild, contributes to chronic hormonal, biochemical and neurological complaints. The mesh connective tissue that surrounds the muscles, becoming increasingly dense and less flexible, adversely affects posture and breathing. Constant muscle tension hinders blood flow and the supply of nutrients to organs and tissues. Massage lowers the concentration of stress hormones and breaks down tension, bringing the body into a state of balance.
Relieves headaches
Mental tension, like tension in the muscles, causes headaches. It has also been proven that medical massage is effective in solving headaches. By applying medical massage to the painful place, the place where the muscle tissue is strongly contracted, we spread the proteins that are responsible for the muscle spasm. When the proteins are separated, the cells relax and the muscle tension relaxes.
Pain relief
We can see the mechanism by which massage alleviates the sensation of pain in the theory of signal transmission to the brain. From the painful place, the signal travels to the brain through nerve fibers of small diameter, while the signals sent by the massage travel to the brain through nerve endings of a larger diameter. Because wider fibers transmit signals more efficiently than narrower ones, massage information reaches the brain faster and more efficiently. In fact, the sensation of massage prevails over the sensation of pain. Medical massage in pain relief plays a significant role in the treatment of spinal problems. In lumboischialgia, vertebrogenic pain syndromes of the spine; cervical, cervico-cephalic, cervico-brachial syndrome, headache, dizziness, paresthesia along the extremities…
Medical massage relaxes the muscles, widens the spaces between the vertebrae, and thus releases the compressed nerve that causes pain and paresthesia.
Deep tissue massage
Deep tissue massage is a type of massage that targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, also called Fascia. Unlike, for example, Swedish massage, deep tissue is very precise and focused, and your therapist will work to release chronic muscle tension and structural changes and will penetrate very deeply into your body.
.
Where there is chronic muscle tension or injury, there is usually also tissue that is “stuck” (also called adhesions) into long strips of painful and stiff tissue in the muscles, tendons and ligaments. Adhesions then cause blockages in circulation, pain, limited mobility and inflammation. Deep tissue massage works by physically separating those largely stuck tissue parts in order to reduce pain and restore normal range of motion. In order to do this, the therapist uses very little to no massage oil so that grasping, stretching or specific and accurate access to the desired area is possible because the oil slides and does not allow grasping, especially does not allow deep manipulation of soft tissue.
Many people, including many misinformed or poorly trained massage therapists, believe that Swedish massage or similar types of massage that are performed with firmer and more powerful pressure are the same as Deep Tissue Massage, which is completely incorrect. It is not an effective deep tissue technique, and the use of the term Deep Tissue in this case is misleading and leads to a misinterpretation and perception of Deep Tissue Massage. Most often, Deep Tissue techniques are applied to one or two areas of the body during an otherwise relaxing treatment such as a Swedish massage, but in this case it is only an incidental component and such a treatment still cannot be called a Deep Tissue treatment.
Unlike classical massage therapy, which is used for relaxation, deep tissue massage usually focuses on a specific problem, such as:
- Chronic pain
- Limited mobility
- Injury recovery (spinal cord injury, falls, sports injuries and many others)
- Repetitive strains like carpal tunnel syndrome (nerve pain that travels through the arm from the shoulder to the elbow to the fingers)
- Problems with upright posture
- Fibromyalgia (especially good results)
- Muscle tension or cramps
Facial Massage
Facial massage is a very popular beauty treatment that helps restore facial muscle tone, slows down the aging process of the skin and helps restore a youthful appearance. In addition to being very pleasant and relaxing, facial massage also helps relieve many ailments.
It is also used to relieve stress, migraines and sinus problems and can be performed as a standalone technique or as part of a body massage and facial treatment. Certain movements of a classic facial massage also serve to cleanse the face of blackheads, speed up circulation, and stimulate reflex zones, which has a positive effect on our health. In this way, the entire musculature and nerves on the face are stimulated, which contributes to the removal of harmful metabolites from accelerated circulation, a preventive anti-aging program.
The goal of the massage is a radiant complexion, while the skin is also revitalized, relaxed and the signs of aging are slowed down. Oils with vitamin E are most often used, as they hydrate and nourish the skin, stimulate circulation and blood flow. A classic relaxing manual facial massage with the stimulation of certain points is recommended once a week.
The benefits of facial massage are:
- reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- improving skin and muscle tone
- helping with lymphatic drainage
- relaxing eye muscles
- relieving muscle tension
- relief of stress and relaxation
- reducing headaches and sinus pain
- improving circulation
A facial massage can be an excellent method for reducing anxiety. It is often put on the back burner, but one of the most important physical and mental benefits of a facial is relaxation, just like any other massage.
