What Is Medical Massage and Who Is It Suitable For?
Definition of Medical Massage
Medical massage is a professional therapy that targets musculoskeletal system problems rather than focusing solely on relaxation.
This type of massage is applied by expert therapists with anatomical knowledge and supports the healing process of muscle tissue.
How Is Medical Massage Applied?
During the session, the therapist applies specific techniques to problematic muscle groups.
Pressure, stroking, kneading, and vibration movements are used to increase circulation between tissues.
As a result, muscle stiffness decreases, edema is reduced, and pain is relieved.
Who Can Benefit from Medical Massage?
- Individuals experiencing muscle and joint pain
- Those in need of post-exercise recovery
- People suffering from neck, back, and lower back stiffness
- Individuals with posture disorders
- Those experiencing chronic pain or stress
Physiological Effects of Medical Massage
As circulation increases, more oxygen is delivered to the muscles.
This helps reduce lactic acid buildup and supports muscle repair.
Additionally, connective tissue flexibility improves, expanding overall range of motion.
Regular medical massage helps reduce chronic pain and increases body awareness.
Difference Between Medical Massage and Classic Massage
While classic massage is aimed at general relaxation, medical massage is treatment-focused.
It targets specific problem areas and session duration is adjusted individually.
The therapist identifies the source of pain and applies controlled pressure accordingly.
