SPORTS/CLASSIC MASSAGE

• Sports massage is beneficial for all athletes, regardless of their discipline: it increases the effectiveness of training, relaxes muscles, and promotes regeneration.
• It also allows for deeper treatment of pain points related to sports practice.
• Classic massage is the most common type of massage in the world. This method is an effective way to relieve muscle tension as well as everyday stress. With a gentler and less specific approach than sports massage, it will nevertheless allow you to enjoy a pleasant moment of relaxation.

TRIGGER POINT

The beneficial effects:

• Relief of muscle tension
• Relief of pain (local or referred) associated with trigger points
• Increased flexibility and range of motion

MANUAL THERAPY

• Manual therapy consists of assessing and testing specific movements that are generally limited by joint and muscle blockages.
• The primary effects sought by manual therapy are to reduce pain by providing immediate relief and to increase joint range of motion using various techniques.

CUPPING

The blood flow created by the vacuum on the targeted area drains toxins. The suction effect promotes blood circulation, reduces tension, accelerates the recovery of tired muscles, and improves tissue repair.

Here are some of the benefits:

• Increases local blood circulation, which reduces inflammation
• Stretches and relaxes muscles, fascia, ligaments, and tendons
• Helps eliminate toxins, lactic acid, and old, oxygen-depleted blood from the muscles more quickly during physical exertion, which improves oxygenation

Their use is recommended for back pain, lumbago, sciatica, tendonitis, sprains, sports recovery, carpal tunnel syndrome, and headaches.
