Classic Massage

Classic Massage in Zurich
The „art of touch“, as massage is also known, is one of the forms of treatment that give people back strength and vitality. Classic massage – also known as Swedish massage – is one of the established manual therapies and is used specifically to release tension, promote blood circulation and provide lasting relief from muscular complaints.

The techniques
Classic massage comprises stroking (effleurage), kneading (petrissage), friction, percussion (tapotement) and vibration. These techniques act on the muscles and the superficial tissue layers and are tailored individually to your body and your complaints.

The effects:

  • Improved blood circulation in the muscles
  • Stimulation of the metabolism and removal of metabolic waste products
  • Loosening, stretching and relaxation of hardened muscles
  • Pain relief through improved oxygen supply
  • Calming effect on the nervous system
  • Stress reduction and improved sleep quality

Classic massage as prevention
In the case of one-sided strain caused by work or posture, classic massage is ideally suited as a preventive measure – it helps to prevent complaints from becoming chronic and maintains mobility in the long term.
