A set of specialized techniques performed by a physiotherapist, combining different types of manipulations such as drainage, kneading, and friction to target painful or tense areas specifically. By working on deep tissues and muscles, therapeutic massage helps release tension, improve blood circulation, and promote the healing of damaged tissues. It is especially beneficial for people suffering from chronic pain such as lower back pain, neck pain, or arthritis. This type of massage can also complement medical treatments, contributing to better functional recovery and improved overall well-being.

Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a gentle, rhythmic massage technique that specifically stimulates the lymphatic system, which is responsible for removing waste and toxins from the body. Using light and precise movements, the therapist activates lymph circulation, facilitating venous return and reducing tissue swelling. This technique is often recommended in post-operative care or cases of fluid retention. MLD not only promotes detoxification but also supports the immune system by helping the body eliminate impurities. Additional benefits include a feeling of lightness, reduced stress, and overall enhanced well-being. It works by enhancing lymph flow, softening hardened tissues, reducing pain, promoting muscle relaxation, improving skin condition, and potentially strengthening immune response. It is especially useful in treating swelling, pain from tension, chronic conditions like arthritis, and aiding recovery and functional improvement.
