Therapeutic massage offers three forms of treatment, which can be used individually or in combination. In addition to classic massage techniques for therapeutic purposes, foot reflexology and manual lymphatic drainage are also available. Manual lymphatic drainage is prescribed separately. Foot reflexology massages are based on the assumption that the human body is reflected in the foot. Depending on which area of the sole of the foot is massaged, the gentle pressure has an effect on different parts of the body.

Special discipline therapeutic massage

Massages have a healing effect and are an extraordinarily natural way to maintain and achieve physical health. While the traditional massage technique primarily uses the hands to apply traction and pressure to the tissue, manual lymphatic drainage follows decongestive measures. Using special grip techniques, our physiotherapists stimulate the motor function of the lymphatic vessels and thus facilitate the removal of excess tissue fluid.

Therapeutic massages and their benefits

The aim of traditional massage techniques is to promote the activation of regenerative cycles. This leads to an improvement in blood circulation during the treatment, followed a little later by a much more active metabolism. In addition to the physical component, classic massages help to reduce nervousness and mental tension. In addition, there is the direct activation of tendons, joints and ligaments, which contribute to physical well-being and improve the vegetative sensation.

Areas of application

What are the principles of therapeutic massage?

The individually tailored massages with various possible combinations act on deeper muscle structures and the overlying skin. A mixture of passive joint movement, muscle stretching, muscle energy techniques, functional massages and the search for trigger points fully address the causes of musculoskeletal complaints. The aim is to solve problems in the musculoskeletal system such as scars, muscle tension, adhesions or shortening in the connective tissue or muscles.

Positive effects of massages

In complex pain situations such as migraines and headaches or organic dysfunctions such as digestive problems, the proven massage techniques alleviate the acute condition. When used regularly, the pressure technique can prevent pain attacks. Internal organs are positively influenced via complex nerve reflex arcs (connective tissue massage) and venous return is supported. In general, mental relaxation sets in, the breathing rate decreases, tension in the muscles eases, the body temperature drops and blood pressure is reduced.

KMT – classic massage therapy

With the help of proven grip techniques, the therapist strokes, kneads, rubs and taps individual regions or the muscles of the entire body. The KMT massage is used to loosen muscles, relieve tension, alleviate pain and stimulate the drainage of tissue fluid. The effect is local, the manual pressure is applied directly to the muscle or surrounding tissue.

BGM – Connective tissue massage

Connective tissue massage is used to relieve local tension and adhesions. The BGM massage also has a relaxing effect on the nervous system and influences the state of health of the internal organs. The BGM massage has a balancing and regulating effect on the nervous system and loosens regional adhesions. Stimulation of the cutivisceral reflex arc has a positive effect on the functioning of the internal organs. Connective tissue massages are suitable for all people with neurological, orthopedic, internal and gynecological diseases.

Colon massage

In the case of chronic intestinal complaints such as flatulence or constipation, colon massage offers the possibility of reactivating intestinal functions that are currently barely present and stimulating digestion. To do this, the therapists at our physiotherapy practice in Munich use certain points on the lower abdomen to stimulate the colon with gentle strokes and pressure points in the direction of the rectum. They support bowel evacuation and use interlocking massage techniques. The patient’s breathing is an important orientation factor.

Head’s zones – reflex zone therapy

All internal structures and organs of our musculoskeletal system are connected to certain areas (Head’s zones) in the skin via nerve fibers. The surface of the skin is divided into different segments. They are connected to nerve centers and receive stimulus transmissions in bidirectional directions. During our massage in Munich, you will learn how skin irritations affect internal organs and how organic changes on the surface of the skin become noticeable.

Do health insurance companies cover the costs of therapeutic massages?

Therapeutic massages are versatile and address the patient’s complaints in a targeted manner. If the doctor determines that the overall situation is demonstrably helpful for improvement, those affected will receive reimbursement of costs from their health insurance provider through the prescription. Frequently prescribed techniques are reflexology, manual lymphatic drainage and UWM for rheumatism. To maintain your health and vitality, treat yourself to a massage from time to time, which is simply good for you and keeps your body supple and fit. Do you have questions about our massage offers?
