It is a treatment that not only brings relief to the body, but also has a beneficial effect on the nervous system and psyche, reducing stress and emotional tension.
Effects and benefits of therapeutic massage
During a massage, the therapist performs the appropriate movements - stroking, kneading, rubbing and vibration - which have a mechanical, physiological and reflexive effect on the body. As a result:
- The flow of oxygen and nutrients in the tissues is improved,
- muscle and joint flexibility increases,
- The removal of toxins from the body is accelerated,
- There is a stimulation of the lymphatic system,
- The secretion of endorphins and serotonin increases, which reduces stress and improves mood.
Regular therapeutic massage is vital to maintaining good health, proper posture and an overall sense of vitality.
Therapeutic massage after plastic surgery
Massage plays an important role in the recovery process after surgical and aesthetic procedures.
- Relieves pain - gentle stimulation of nerve receptors helps disrupt pain signals sent to the brain.
- Softens skin and reduces scarring - massage applied to the area of healed scar tissue reduces the formation of adhesions and overgrowth of collagen, which can lead to the formation of hypertrophic scars (keloids).
- Accelerates healing - improved blood circulation delivers more oxygen and nutrients to tissues, which speeds up recovery.
- Promotes lymphatic drainage - by improving lymph flow, swelling is reduced and immune function is improved.
Massage performed several weeks after surgery promotes recovery, reduces tissue tension and restores skin elasticity.
Therapeutic massage and the nervous system
The treatment has a relaxing effect, helping to lower levels of cortisol - the stress hormone - and increasing the release of endorphins and serotonin.
The result is improved mood, better sleep and reduced anxiety levels. This supports both the patient's physical and mental health.
