Connective Tissue Massage with Sweet Almond, Lavender and Hypericum oil

The connective tissue massage (CTM) technique consists of a massage aimed at the deep structures of the muscle tissues (connective tissue). Particularly suitable for relieving body tensions by relaxing the muscles and is used to treat a great variety of ailments.

Connective tissue is everywhere in our body, the soft tissue that surrounds, supports, protects and connects each and every structure in the body.

Your body contains a continuous sheath of connective tissue, which is called “fascia.”  This sheath provides structural support for the skeleton and soft tissues (muscles, tendons, etc.).

Gravity, injury, illness, emotional trauma, and other stressors affect the fascia, causing an imbalance in the connective tissue network.  Fascia imbalance usually manifests itself as tightening or shortening of the connective tissue sheath (which makes your body feel as though the muscles are extremely tight).  This is often experienced as pain, stiffness, discomfort, or decreased flexibility anywhere in the body.

When the fascia becomes chronically shortened, it loses flexibility and resilience so your body can’t relax completely, even when its’ “at rest.”

CTM is the most direct way to restore length and flexibility throughout the entire muscular system, normalizing the tissue and bringing greater health through the fascial network.

CTM gives you:

• Relief from chronic tension and pain.
• Increased ease of movement and flexibility.
• Improved posture.
• Enhanced self-awareness.
• Overall peace throughout your body.
• Increased energy.
• Increased breathing capacity,
• Enhanced self-awareness,
• And an appreciation of the body as an integrative whole.

After performing this type of massage, you may still feel pain for the next few days, but the pain will gradually disappear.

This massage is among the most effective as it is used to reduce pain and inflammation.

This massage uses many movements and techniques of Swedish massage but the pressure is more intense to release chronic muscle tension and knots (adhesions).

Working on entire fascial chains it improves posture and realigns the body giving a pleasant sensation, lightness and comfort to the person.
It is a type of treatment that aims to dissolve contractures and at the same time, with slow and deep manual movements on the fascia, tends to restore the right muscle tone by improving its function.

This type of treatment also has beneficial repercussions on the emotional state; through postural rebalancing the body becomes more efficient and effective.

In the esthetic field it has beneficial effects on the person’s bearing, making them more graceful and self-confident; improves skin nutrition and frees tissue adhesions, promoting blood and lymphatic circulation.

It is excellent for well-being as it produces deep regenerating relaxation. In general, it tends to improve one’s health and self-perception.
