Massage Styles

Massage is a manipulation of body's soft tissues (muscle, tendoms and ligaments) in order to achieve a specific positive effect on human’s body and mind.

It has been a very effective part of the health treatments in most cultures and the periodic use of massage was seen long time before Christ.

There are two main approaches when performing a therapy. One is through the mechanical action by manipulating the soft tissues and muscles using the pressure with stretching movements. The second one is based on the reflexology, by applying pressure to the particular spots on our body which are directly connected to the specific apparatus or are affecting different parts of human’s body by nerve connections, or flow of the inner energy known as 'meridians'.

There are more than 80 different massage treatments and every one of them offers different benefits. It can affect the human body and mind not only in more general ways like stress relief, blood circulation, reduction of toxins, but the therapy can also target very specific medical issues and ailments. It is also enjoyed by many to achieve the athletic enhancement and pain relief.
