Types of therapeutic massage "Mano Klinika"

Our clinic uses a variety of massage techniques. Based on the results of the examination, the doctor (an orthopaedic traumatologist or a rehabilitation therapist) prescribes the right massage for the patient, the duration, the number of treatments and the frequency, taking into account the indications and the patient's health condition.

Sports massage

It is a special type of massage aimed at keeping athletes fit, improving their endurance, increasing their performance and reducing the risk of injury. It also helps you recover faster after training and competitions.

The main types of sports massage:

Exercise massage is performed between workouts to maintain muscle performance and prevent fatigue. The aim of a sports massage is to maintain muscle tone and prepare the muscles for the high physical demands of training.
Pre-competition massage - performed a few hours before the competition to prepare your muscles and body for the upcoming physical exertion, to increase tone and preparation for the competition. It is characterised by high-intensity movements aimed at quickly warming up the muscles, speeding up blood circulation and stimulating the nervous system.
Post-competition massage - performed immediately or within a few hours after the competition. Its aim is to recover, reduce muscle tension and speed up tissue regeneration. It includes gentler and more relaxing techniques, helps to reduce fatigue, muscle soreness (muscle crepitation), remove lactic acid and other metabolic products.
Restorative massage - recommended for periods between workouts, especially after high levels of exercise, to restore the body after intense exercise, training or injury. It can also be a therapeutic back massage for osteochondrosis and other spinal problems. Restorative massage uses gentle and relaxing techniques, focusing on improving blood and lymphatic circulation, relieving spasms and pain. The treatment lasts up to 60 minutes as all muscle groups need to be worked to achieve deep recovery.
Rehabilitation massage is given after sports (and other injuries) under the supervision of a rehabilitation therapist. The aim of this massage is to recover from injuries, speed up the healing process and regeneration of damaged tissues. It is performed gently on the areas affected by the injury. Gentle techniques are used to avoid damage and speed up the healing process.

Features of sports massage:

Deep muscle action.
Targeted work on individual muscle groups.
Injury prevention.
Accelerating regeneration.
Adaptation to physical activity.
Combined with other therapies, a better recovery effect and improved sports performance can be achieved.

Lymphatic drainage massage

Lymphatic drainage massage is a massage technique that aims to stimulate lymphatic drainage, improve lymphatic circulation and remove excess fluid and toxins from the body. This type of massage helps to improve metabolism, reduce swelling and strengthen the immune system. It is often used for both medical and cosmetic purposes.

Features of lymphatic drainage massage:

Unlike classical massage, lymphatic drainage massage is performed with gentle, rhythmic pressure, without strong pressure on the muscles and deep tissues.
All movements are directed along the lymphatic vessels - from the periphery to the centre - to stimulate the outflow of lymph into the lymph nodes.

Benefits of lymphatic drainage massage:

Improves lymphatic circulation, relieves stagnation, removes excess fluid and reduces oedema.
It is actively used to fight cellulite, as improved lymphatic flow helps to get rid of toxins and excess fluid in the subcutaneous fatty tissue.
Increases skin tone, improves skin elasticity and smooths fine lines and wrinkles.
Promotes the elimination of toxins and metabolic waste, helping the body to cleanse itself naturally.
It activates the immune system, which is particularly useful during recovery from illness or increased physical activity.
Reduces physical weakness and muscle tension, especially in people who are sedentary and suffer from chronic fatigue.

Relaxing massage

It is a type of massage that aims to relax muscles, relieve muscle tension and improve general well-being. It is ideal for combating stress, fatigue and physical tension, as well as for recovering from a hard day's work or intense physical activity.

Features of relaxation massage:

Soft, gentle and rhythmic stroking, light rubbing and kneading.
The duration of the session is between 30 and 90 minutes.
The massage is performed in a calm, relaxing environment with soft light and soothing music.
Applying different parts of the body (back, shoulders, neck, arms and legs, or specific parts of the body according to the client's request).

The treatment promotes not only physical but also emotional relaxation. A relaxing massage allows the client to disconnect from everyday worries and stress, resulting in a better overall psycho-emotional state.

Benefits of a relaxing massage

reduces stress and anxiety levels.
Better sleep quality.
Relieving pain (muscle pain, headaches) and tension caused by stress or exercise.
Improved general well-being - less fatigue and more energy.
Strengthening the immune system, which has a positive effect on the health of the whole body.
