1. What do we mean by therapeutic massage?
Therapeutic massage is a type of massage that invigorates the skin and the neural system, reduces emotional and physical stress. Therapeutic massage helps optimizing the general health condition, causes relaxation and reduces the tension caused by emotional stress. It can also be used on a regular basis to maintain healthy muscle condition.
During the massage, pressure, strokes and rubbing can be applied using special techniques, which result in the alleviation of tension and also improves the mobility of joints, achieving a pain-reducing effect at the same time.
It is important to know that therapeutic massage can only be performed by a trained and experienced professional, who knows the treatment methods for various illnesses and medical conditions. Massage therapists need to be familiar with anatomy, physiology and pathology in order to provide effective treatment that does not harm the patient.
2. For what problems can therapeutic massage can be used?
Therapeutic massage can be used for the treatment of numerous health problems. As a therapeutic method, it improves the physical condition of the body, ameliorates pain and promotes well-being.
During therapeutic massage, relaxation can be achieved by mobilizing the soft tissues, muscle tension can be relieved, blood supply can be increased and sensory receptors can be stimulated as well. The applied techniques help to stretch and relax the soft tissues, thus resulting in the increased mobility of joints as well.

- Relieves muscle tension: Therapeutic massage helps to relax the muscles and alleviate the tension, which can increase the flexibility of the muscles and decrease muscle pain.
- Relieves pain: The treatment helps to reduce chronic and acute pain, such as headache, back pain, joint and muscle pains.
- Reduces stress and anxiety: Therapeutic massage helps reducing stress and anxiety, which often cause muscle tightness and general physical and mental health problems.

4. How can we use therapeutic massage in addition to manual therapy?
Therapeutic massage and manuálterápia are two types of therapeutic approaches, each of them a proven and effective aid in the treatment of muscle and joint pain and musculoskeletal problems. However, by combining these two forms of treatment we can maximize the effectiveness of the therapy, and therefore that of the treatment.
Manualtherapy consists of the manual application of techniques targeting the musculoskeletal system, with the purpose of improving the functioning of the musculoskeletal system. This includes the improvement of joint mobility, the alleviation of muscle tension, the correction of posture and pain reduction. Manual therapy allows the massage or manual therapist to directly treat the body, and it helps restoring the natural movements of our body.
However, therapeutic massage is a therapeutic technique during which the massage therapist uses various massage techniques for the treatment of the patient. This elicits a number of positive physiological effects, as mentioned above, detectable in many different areas, with a great impact on the improvement of the quality of life.
The combination of manual therapy and therapeutic massage makes it possible for the therapist to establish a unique and personalized treatment plan for the patient that will successfully combine the beneficial effects of both methods. For example, manual therapy helps the correction of tissue injuries resulting from past injuries, while therapeutic massage helps reducing tension and stress, thus promoting the healing processes of the body together.
