Deep Tissue / Sports Massage

This treatment can help release muscle knots, support circulation, and reduce the feeling of stiffness. Many people notice more ease in the back, neck, shoulders, or legs afterward, especially when repetitive strain, sport, or long hours in one position have left the muscles tense. Depending on what is needed, the therapist may use slow pressure, kneading, and targeted techniques. The session feels more intense than a classic relaxation massage, and some areas may feel tender, but it should not become sharply painful. Afterward, muscles often feel warm, looser, and a little sensitive. Drinking water and allowing some recovery time can help the body settle well after the treatment. It is not suitable for acute inflammation, fresh injuries, fever, suspected thrombosis, serious vascular conditions, or if you are on blood thinners, unless a doctor has cleared it first. In many cases, little or no oil is used, depending on the approach. In Switzerland, sessions commonly last between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on whether one area or the full body is being treated.
