Our services

You can find more detailed descriptions of massage treatments in our appointment calendar. Our services and areas of expertise include the following treatment methods.

CLASSIC MASSAGE

Classical massage is a body care method that aims to relax the body and release tension. Massage stimulates blood circulation and reduces muscle tension. At the same time, it also gives the mind the opportunity to relax and rest.

PHYSIOTHERAPEUTIC MASSAGE

A physiotherapist's massage treatment combines classic massage, sports massage, fascia and joint work, as well as individual coaching and physiotherapy. Your situation will be assessed from your own perspective, treated with the necessary techniques, and you will receive instructions on how to proceed.

ARTICULAR MOBILISATION

For pain felt in various joints (e.g. rotator cuff problems and knee osteoarthritis), it is also worth turning to a massage therapist. Joint function can be promoted with massage, which stretches the tendons and gets fluids moving.

MATERNITY MASSAGES

You can (and should) come for massage therapy throughout the different stages of pregnancy and beyond. Massage can help with various ailments brought on by a changing body and help you relax. For example, swelling of the limbs, pain in the lower back and pelvic area, neck tightness, and masticatory muscle problems are typical ailments both during pregnancy and after childbirth when the body is still recovering. After childbirth, you are welcome to come to the reception either with or without the baby, whichever is most comfortable for you.

SPORTS MASSAGE

Sports massage is an important part of an athlete's body care. Sports massage can help the body recover and thus prepare for maximum performance. Regular massage also prevents stress injuries and helps to rehabilitate from accidents.

TEMPOROMANDIBULAR MASSAGE

Temporomandibular disorders are a problem of our time. A natural stress reaction in the body, which for one reason or another remains on and begins to manifest itself as tension in the jaw and face, but also as recurring headaches, migraines and neck and shoulder tension. Massage can help and relieve these.

ACUPUNCTURE (WMA)

Acupuncture can treat a variety of physical pain conditions. Acupuncture is a proven effective treatment for a variety of ailments and over-stimulation of the body. We practice acupuncture from a Western Medical Perspective (WMA), which means we are NOT experts in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). (If you are looking for an acupuncturist who is knowledgeable in Traditional Chinese Medicine, we will be happy to refer you).

RELAXATION TREATMENTS

Sometimes you just need to be. Massage is a great place to come and get your own peaceful moment of relaxation. You can and should come for a massage even if you don't hurt anywhere. Especially relaxing head massages or super long full body massages are perfect relaxation treatments, where the body relaxes and the mind rests.

INDIVIDUAL COACHING

Physiotherapy is a form of treatment that aims to improve functional mobility and treat ailments that limit life and everyday life. Physiotherapy is a holistic form of treatment that combines guided exercises, manual therapy, advice and guidance. Physiotherapy can be sought for many different ailments, injuries or chronic pain conditions. The goal is always to increase long-term and sustainable well-being according to the current situation, listening to and respecting the client.

FASCIAL TREATEMENTS

The tightness of our body's muscle membrane structures, fascia, affects the function of the entire body from head to toe. By opening large fascias, for example in the legs and lower back, we can relieve many types of pain in the body.

TAPING

Various types of taping can be used to treat physical pain conditions. The need for treatment determines whether harder sports tapes or more flexible kinesiology tapes are used. Tapes can be used to support stretched or otherwise rehabilitated joints (knee, ankle), rehabilitate stress injuries (wrist, elbow, shoulder), reduce swelling (legs, hands), seek posture correction (upper back, shoulders), affect superficial fascia and thus relax painful areas.

INDIVIDUAL COACHING

When you are motivated to do things at home for your well-being, but you don't really know what to do, you can ask us for help. We can help you do the right and safe exercises at home, so you can take care of yourself outside of the massage table.
