Classic full body massage

Classic massage is a traditional and widespread type of massage, based on Swedish massage. It is performed both with oils and on dry skin.

Classic massage can be done on individual parts of the body or on the whole body, depending on the wish and need. Classic massage techniques include stroking, rubbing of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, kneading of the muscles, vibration and various light percussive techniques.

The main purpose of massage is to improve the oxygen supply to the tissues and to remove toxins from the body. This speeds up metabolism, restores energy and corrects muscle tone. Depending on the techniques used, the effect is either relaxing or invigorating.

Massage combines both the positive emotional effect of touch and a therapeutic technique. A good masseur could also be called a healer who can restore the health of both soul and body. A full body massage can be done at any time. It helps drive away fatigue, boost the immune system, balance the nervous system, flush waste products from the body, improve metabolism and reduce muscle tension and, through that, also pain. Stress decreases and the nervous system grows stronger.

Massage is effective for people who want to lose weight. It tightens loose skin, improves muscle tone and speeds up metabolism. For athletes, massage is essentially indispensable, because it improves the work of the heart and increases the mobility of the joint capsules. Massage also helps relax the muscles both before and after training. For people who work in fixed positions, massage is also very suitable, because it helps release tension that has built up in certain parts of the body.

Classic massage affects the movement of blood, lymph and tissue fluid, removes stagnation and swelling, and raises the temperature of the massaged area. It has a beneficial effect on the body's blood supply.

After the massage, it is recommended to drink herbal tea or mineral water and not to eat for a couple of hours.
