If you are not sure what kind of massage is right for you, you can choose a personalized massage (on request). This is a massage where I use up to several techniques during one massage session. The so-called combined massage. Often combined with stretching of the muscles.
The types of techniques which are used then depend on the state of your muscles, condition, work you perform, sports you practice, painful areas, etc.
This type of massage is selected just before the start of the session, or contact me earlier if you have any questions or concerns. This is the most frequently chosen form of massage by clients. There is no additional charge for this type of massage. When choosing one of my massages, you pay for the time of massage session. All type of massage are the same price. Even if it is an individually customized therapy where several techniques are being used.
In a nutshell:
You choose the type and the lenght of massage on your own or you leave it to me and we choose the best solution for you.
Relaxation massage is an all-natural treatment that involves appropriate stimulation of the body’s tissues. When relaxation massage is applied, it affects the skin, connective and adipose tissue, as well as muscles, nerve endings and the nervous, lymphatic, circulatory and endocrine systems. This allows the stressed and overstrained body, as well as the mind, to begin to recover and return to its normal rhythm
Relaxation massage is an excellent way to release accumulated energy that adversely affects mental health and internal organs and systems in the human body.

Sports massage is designed to prepare the athlete’s body for increased performance and maintain high endurance. This type of massage schould be applied in cycles and repeated before and after training.
During the massage, the main focus is on massaging muscle groups that are particularly prone to overload. The larger the muscle group is being massaged, the better the effectiveness of the treatment.
Sports massage can successfully replace the training not performed on a given day. This is an excellent alternative for people who, for some reason, cannot do training or give up activity for a long time. Sports massages keep the body in good condition and allow you to return to regular exercise faster.

Most of us have experienced swelling of the body more than once, especially the legs. Working all day standing or sitting, or the processes that occur after an intensive workout further increase these discomforts. We feel sluggish, tired and often irritable. All these seemingly different problems have a common cause – a disorder of the venous-lymphatic system.
Lymphatic drainage is a very versatile treatment, which improves lymph circulation, removes toxins and improves immunity by applying the right pressure. Therefore, it will help not only with swelling and tired legs, but also accelerate recovery after exercise, improve the appearance of the skin, help remove water excess from the body, as well as increase immunity, improve mood and help get rid of cellulite.
In summary – lymphatic massage:
Trigger point therapy is a technique that uses various forms of pressure and movements in different directions applied on sensitive areas of muscle tissue. The goal of the therapy is to relax muscles and relieve pain.

There are various factors that can promote the formation of trigger points.
Among them are:
The main symptoms are: stiffness, increased tension and muscle pain localized depending on where the trigger points are located on the body – on the back, buttock, calf, thighs.

For those in a wheelchair due to their mobility limitations, massage therapy can be greatly beneficial for your health; both mental and physical. Given the amount of time spent sitting in your wheelchair, it is expected that the muscles become tight and even weakened due to lack of use. If you are in a manual wheelchair, some muscles can end up being overworked, also leading to sore and tight muscles. Sore, tight, and weak muscles and the stress created by trying to live independently in an able-bodied world, can be treated with routine massage therapy by a licensed massage therapist. Wheelchair users, while mobile, still live a sedentary life and this leads to decreased circulation and even pressure sores. Using massage we stimulate blood flow by applying pressure to certain areas of tissue and muscle groups. The increased blood flow can even alleviate pressure sores. Some medical doctors and physical therapists may advise the use of massage therapy as a form of treatment or method for improving the range of motion.
Therapeutic massage can help with headaches and migraines.
Which parts of the body can be treated? If there are no contraindications than the whole body can be massaged.
Before the massage begins, I will discuss the details with you. This includes your medical history, your present symptoms, what kind of massage I will use, pressure intensity, talking or silence, and even music or white noise options. Don’t be afraid to ask to focus on certain areas that need more attention or avoid other areas.
