Therapeutic massage

​

- The therapeutic massage has a relaxing, decontracting, circulatory and anti-inflammatory function.

It reduces stress, regulates hormonal activity, allowing a control of hormones such as cortisol and norepinephrine, which are harmful to the immune system; therefore the therapeutic massage, besides a local function (ex: muscular and articular) has a function of strengthening the immune system.

​

Among the therapeutic massages we mention:

- Neck massage

- Lumbar massage (back pain and sciatica)

- Piriformis massage (sciatica from piriformis syndrome)

- Lymphatic drainage massage (against edematous syndromes of the limbs)

​

The duration of the massage varies from 30 to 60 minutes
