What can massage help you with?

A masseur will primarily work intensively with the shoulders and neck muscles, but will also work on the musculature close to the neck, where the chewing muscles sit. The masseur will treat the musculature so that a good blood flow can be created to the musculature that attaches to the edge of the skull. When treating with physical massage, we will often use pressure because it is a very effective way to relieve your pain. All treatment takes place in communication with the client, so the hardness of the massage is adjusted just for you.

Choose correctly the first time

When you search for a masseur or other type of therapist, you will find that there are many options. As a consumer, it is difficult to find your way around the various offers. Therefore, it is important that you choose a processor registered with RAB. The RAB scheme applies to alternative care providers engaged in healthcare activities outside the publicly funded health service. The RAB scheme acts as a guarantee of patient safety.

Opt for in-depth massage

The masseur works deep in the tissues and musculature. The massage is based on the anatomical structure of the body, which requires the masseur's knowledge about the origin, attachment, function and condition of the muscles. Unlike a cosmetic massage (superficial massage), the musculature is worked through and the damage is remedied. With the help of physical massage, we can achieve satisfactory relief of your tension headache.
