Types of massage at Fizjo-Fan
Therapeutic massage
A targeted form of treatment aimed at reducing pain and muscle tension and improving tissue function and freedom of movement. For people with neck and back tension, and overuse related to desk work and one-sided loading.
Sports massage
A more intensive form of massage tailored to the needs of active people – it supports recovery, preparation for exertion and the reduction of muscle tension after training. For runners, strength trainers and team sports players.
Massage or physiotherapy?
Massage works very well for tension and overuse. If, however, your symptoms keep coming back, are getting worse or are restricting movement, it is worth starting with a physiotherapy consultation – it allows us to assess the cause and choose a more effective approach, such as manual therapy or dry needling. At Fizjo-Fan massage is performed by an English-speaking physiotherapist, so we can make that decision on the spot.
Massage as part of recovery
Therapeutic and sports massage are also part of our recovery packages – together with compression massage (pressotherapy), electrostimulation and physiotherapist-led stretching.
