Deep tissue massage therapy is similar to Swedish massage, but the deeper pressure is more beneficial for releasing muscle tension. The focus is on the deeper layers of muscle tissue, tendons, and fascia (the protective layer that surrounds muscles, bones, and joints). Deep tissue massage is mainly used to treat musculoskeletal problems, such as sports strains and injuries.

HOT STONE
HOT STONE
Stone massages or geothermal therapy are a combination of traditional therapeutic massage and the application of hot stones to the skin at different temperatures. The objective of this is to improve blood circulation, avoid physical disorders or lack of energy and, finally, improve emotional problems.
The origin of stone massages is found in an ancient oriental technique, inspired by disciplines such as reiki. They believe that the body has seven energy centers called chakras, through which the energy of the universe (rei) and the vitality (ki) of each person flows.
Therefore, the blockage or malfunction of some of these energy points can cause various diseases and discomforts.
In such a way that geothermal therapy allows to combine the benefits of therapeutic massage together with the spiritual base of these stones. Thus, by using stones with different temperatures at the points where the chakras are located, the energy and fluids of the body will flow properly to alleviate discomfort.

LIMPHATIC DRAINAGE
LIMPHATIC DRAINAGE
Manual lymphatic drainage is a therapeutic technique used directly on the lymphatic system. The function of its application is to facilitate the circulation of lymph through specific slow, smooth and superficial maneuvers, to purify and dispose of cellular fluids.
What is the lymphatic system?
The lymphatic system is responsible for removing metabolic and cellular waste from the body. By applying manual lymphatic drainage we facilitate the mobilization of liquids and substances that are located in the extracellular space, which facilitates the proper functioning of the body. At our Physiotherapy center in Palma we offer you our lymphatic drainage service that facilitates the treatment of multiple injuries.
Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system is open and runs parallel to the veins, following their same path, but in the extracellular space. The movement of the lymph depends on the muscular contraction and the valves that are located in the lymphatic vessels. This activation occurs with the pressure difference between the cells.
Manual lymphatic drainage acts directly on the pre-lymphatic channels, lymphatic capillaries, lymphatic vessels and nodes, to improve lymph transport.
What is the importance of the lymphatic system?
The importance of the lymphatic system in the human body:
It provides us with immunity to identify possible pathogens and toxic agents.
It brings effectiveness to our immune system to face diseases.
It provides us with a state of alert, activating the sympathetic system to clean and detoxify all waste (to maintain balance).
Help the flow and return of larger molecules, so that they enter the bloodstream.
Eliminate toxins.
Detect pathogens.
Improves the production of antibodies.
Effects produced by manual lymphatic drainage in our body:
Relaxing Effect: since the nervous system is balanced, after the activation of the parasympathetic system through this massage (relaxation of muscle tone).
Healing effect: because it favors the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues.
Analgesic effect: because analgesic substances are released that relieve pain. In addition, nociceptive and mechanoreceptive nerve endings are decompressed.
Immune action: by stimulating the body's immune mechanisms.
Draining action: through the stimulation of the lymphatic vessels.
Biological filter action: since it prevents the passage of foreign substances into the body.
Benefits of manual lymphatic drainage:
Eliminates metabolic and cellular waste.
Relax the muscles.
Balances the nervous system.
Stimulates intestinal mobility.
Stimulation of the immune system.
Indications for the application of manual lymphatic drainage:
Lymphedema.
Post-surgical edemas (surgeries, cosmetic procedures).
Post-traumatic edema (bruises, blows, falls).
Oncological pathologies (postmastectomy treatments, radiotherapy, chemotherapy).
Vascular pathologies (tired legs, varicose veins, fluid retention, circulatory disorders).
Acute injuries (sprains, broken fibers).
Headache, migraines and headaches.
Scars (hypertrophic, keloids).
Stress.
Contraindication for the application of manual lymphatic drainage:
Uncontrolled malignant tumors.
Acute infections.
Decompensated heart failure.
Recent thrombosis.
Hyperthyroidism (relative).
Uncontrolled arterial hypotension.
Pregnancy (relative).
Asthmatic attack.
Manual lymphatic drainage is a technique that does not require the application of creams, oils or gels. You only need the hands of the physiotherapist and that the area to be treated is clean.
Manual lymphatic drainage maneuvers go in the direction of the lymphatic pathway and in the direction of the evacuation areas (lymph nodes). Gentle, slow and superficial maneuvers are used with the palms of the physiotherapist's hands.
What are the types of manual lymphatic drainage techniques?
Among the different manual lymphatic drainage techniques, we have the Godoy Method, a global manual lymphatic therapy method, focused mainly on the treatment of lymphedema and lymphovenous pathologies. It is considered a global treatment because it is made up of different techniques that can be used in isolation depending on the ailments or in combination. In addition, this method has scientific endorsement that ensures the effectiveness of the treatment.
Likewise, the methods of Vodder and Leduc are told, whose purpose remains the same, to stimulate lymphatic circulation, to improve the flow and elimination of interstitial fluid and lymph, this in order to balance fluids in the body.
This technique is very useful and practical for physiotherapy, since it improves the quality of life of patients and their level of health in general...

cupping
cupping
Cupping for physiotherapy, also called suction therapy, is a technique in which suction cups, plastic or glass, are applied with the aim of creating a suction effect on the skin and part of the muscle, creating a vacuum effect.
This activates and stimulates both blood and lymphatic circulation, increasing the flow of O2, making tissues more flexible and thus increasing the inflammatory physiological response, eliminating toxins and helping tissue repair.
