Massage

Medical and classic massage

A massage relieves tension and tightness in muscles and connective tissue, promotes circulation and has a calming effect on body and mind. Depending on your needs, it activates or relaxes the muscles and supports recovery after injuries and sporting exertion.

Scientific evidence

What studies on massage show

Back painShort-term reliefA Cochrane review of 25 trials shows that massage relieves back pain and improves function in the short term. No serious side effects were reported.
SportBest method against muscle sorenessAn analysis of 99 studies on recovery methods found massage to be the most effective technique against muscle soreness and fatigue after sport.
CombinationIdeal as a complementThe effects are mainly short-term. That is why massage works best in combination with exercise and training.

Our tip: Combine massage with active exercise – for example in training therapy or with a training membership. This makes the effect last longer.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about massage

Does my supplementary insurance pay for the massage?

We are EMR-registered. Many supplementary insurers therefore contribute to the costs. How much does my supplementary insurance pay?

What is the difference between medical and classic massage?

Medical massage is specifically tailored to complaints and findings and is carried out by a qualified medical massage therapist. Classic massage is more about relaxation and well-being.

How often should I have a massage?

For complaints, one to two treatments a week are useful at first, then as needed. For recovery or relaxation, intervals of a few weeks are often enough.
