Types of massage and how they differ
There are more than 20 types of massages, and it is quite difficult for an ordinary person to choose the necessary procedure. For example, if you want to remove cellulite, you need to decide on what type of anti-cellulite massage you want to attend: manual, vacuum, hardware, or lymphatic drainage. Of course, there are cases when the doctor prescribes a therapeutic massage to restore joints or muscles, but what if you want to just relax and have fun?
Let's see what are the main types of massage and what massage in Riga is offered in the GURU DAS SPA® salon.
Types of massage
- Neurosedative facial and body massage
During this technique, smooth sliding movements are performed that contribute to complete relaxation and stress relief. Neurosedative massage also restores microcirculation and reduces the depth of facial wrinkles.
- Structural facial massage
During structural facial massage, light and intense massage movements alternate, which stimulate blood circulation. Such regular procedure resumes skin cells and has a lifting effect, due to which the face becomes toned and “fresh”.
- Reafirming facial massage
The name of this massage comes from the word reafirmir, which means “strengthen, restore.” Reafirming massage has a rejuvenating effect, tightens the oval of the face and stimulates cell regeneration. The massage procedure includes the study of tissues at all levels: neuroreceptor, vascular and muscle.
