Powerful massages
Connective tissue massage and deep tissue massage are both powerful massages. One massage is applied to the connective tissue layer and the other massages the muscles firmly. The massages can be painful, but eventually the tissues become more flexible.
Connective tissue massage
Connective tissue is not applied to the muscles, but on the connective tissue layer of the body which is located between the epidermis and the muscles. It is a therapeutic massage, especially intended to skin to recover.
Often the face is massaged, but it can also help against cellulite and stretch marks. Firm massage grips in the connective tissue activate the blood circulation and stimulate the production and quality of collagen and elastin.
The classic connective tissue massage was developed by physiotherapists. The massage is performed by skin specialists and skin therapists who have had lessons in connective tissue massage.
This massage can help against skin aging, wrinkles, sagging skin, smoker’s skin, poorly perfused skin, acne, scars and couperose. A connective tissue massage is even suitable for thin, sensitive and blotchy skin.
Your skin will be cleansed before the massage. After the massage, the skin feels pink and warm. This is because the blood flow is stimulated. The massage is usually given in a course.
The first treatments are not exactly relaxing and it can even hurt. But the more times you’ve been, the looser and smoother the weave becomes.
Deep tissue massage
Deep tissue massage is a powerful massage to bring the body back into balance. By means of slow, deep massage techniques with a lot of attention to the muscles, the ‘energy flow’ is improved. This way all the stress and tension flows away.
The deep tissue massage is especially suitable for people with accumulated tension in body and mind for a long time. Because the method places a lot of attention on certain areas, your body can sometimes hurt during and after the massage. If you have had a good quality massage, you will feel a lot better after two days.
It is very beneficial for your health to undergo this massage. When your muscles are cramped, the circulation of oxygen and blood is locally blocked. A deep tissue massage helps to remove that blockage.
After a deep tissue massage you should drink a lot of water. Accumulated waste may be released. Water helps to get rid of waste products.
