How to choose a massage technique to “see” the result

Massage is an integral part maintaining good health. There are many techniques that are aimed at different needs. Relaxation, removing muscle clamps, getting rid of cellulite, improving skin tone – the list goes on and on. If everything is more or less clear with relaxing and medical (as prescribed by a doctor), then confusion may arise with techniques aimed at improving the quality of the body. Together with the master from the Tekstura studio, we understand the differences.

Lymphatic drainage massage.This is a “general cleaning” for the body. Together with lymph, toxins, excess water, and decay products are removed from our body. A sedentary lifestyle interferes with the movement of lymph due to compression of blood vessels. The intercellular space is filled with toxins, there is a feeling of fatigue, the protective functions of the body are weakened, and the metabolism is disturbed. The course (10-15 sessions) restores tone, energy, strengthens immunity, helps to become slimmer. Lymphatic drainage massage helps well with swelling and impaired blood circulation. The massage therapist makes rhythmic but smooth movements, stroking, deeply working the muscle tissues in the neck, back and legs. Indications for lymphatic drainage massage using this technique: cellulite, edema, varicose veins.

Sculptural massage strengthens the muscle frame, improves skin elasticity and tightens well. This massage is a manual method of working with deep layers of skin and muscles. Sculptural massage helps to significantly adjust the contours of the body, get rid of excess weight and make the surface of the skin smooth and tender.

Anti-cellulite massage is a little different. This is a point effect on certain areas of the body, which increases the pressure inside the cells and stimulates blood flow. Acceleration of blood flow, in turn, leads to activation of cell work, recovery of lymph flow, improvement of metabolism. These processes include the destruction of fat cells. Fat deposits in problem areas gradually decrease and the so-called orange peel begins to disappear. Relaxation of muscles and tissues contributes to the loosening of fatty tissue and the removal of excess fluid. Due to the improvement of blood circulation, the skin tightens, becomes smoother and more elastic. A course (10 sessions) of massage is required for the result.

With lymphatic drainage and anti-cellulite massages, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of the body and contraindications: skin diseases; acute thrombophlebitis; increased fragility of blood vessels; diseases of the lymphatic and circulatory systems; the presence of cancerous and benign tumors; pregnancy; lactation period; menstruation; infectious diseases; diabetes.
