Medical Classic Massage
Classical massage is the most well-known form of massage. It focuses on treating muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Through stroking, stretching, kneading, and targeted pressure, tense muscles are loosened. Ligaments and tendons become more supple. Blood circulation is improved, and adhesions in the skin are released. During a Medical Classic Massage, the therapist tailors the treatment to the client's specific issues and focuses on providing targeted relief.

Rhythmic Massage Therapy
Rhythmic Massage Therapy
Rhythmic Massage Therapy according to Dr. med. Ita Wegman / Hauschka is related to classical massage. It is based on the principles of anthroposophic medicine and is a gentle therapy in which the massage strokes are intentionally structured in a rhythmic manner. The quality and intensity of the treatment are individually adapted to the needs of the client.
The long-term goal of Rhythmic Massage is to involve the entire body in the treatment. It aims to reintegrate problem areas back into the overall context of the body and restore a holistic balance. This also has a positive effect on the psychological well-being.

Myofascial Release
As with other fascial methods, myofascial release focuses primarily on the fascia within the body. Fascia are connective tissue sheaths that connect various structures and organs. They form a network that permeates the entire body. Various factors can cause adhesions and stiffness within this fascial network. Myofascial release aims to release these adhesions and restore balance to the body. It is a sometimes vigorous, yet very comfortable, therapeutic method.

Cupping
Cupping involves placing glass cups on the skin using a vacuum, causing the glass to adhere to the skin. This vacuum can be created with fire (fire cupping) or mechanically (as in my practice). The body is challenged to remain active at the affected area for a longer period. A hematoma may develop.

Indications

Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is the method of choice for treating edema (fluid retention in the tissues). Special, broad, sweeping movements promote the removal of tissue fluid (lymphatic fluid), thus decongesting the affected area.

Indications
• Lymphedema (e.g., after lymph node removal in cases of tumor disease)
• Vein problems (Chronic Venous Insufficiency)

• Bruises, sports injuries
• Pregnancy edema

Muscle tension is released, leaving you feeling vibrant and light.
