The decontracting massage aims to dissolve, relieve and relax the muscle contractures present in our body. This is a technique often used on sports people and athletes in general.
During a contracture some fibers making up the muscle do not re-stretch, they remain contracted and short, causing pain and limiting movement.
The decontracting massage is performed by a massage therapist, who will first scan the muscle, and then perform the most suitable manual technique aimed at solving the problem.
The maneuvers used are usually those of rubbing and friction.
The contracture is painful and the massage will benefit both in the short term and in the long term. In the case of professional sportsmen it is absolutely unthinkable not to resort to decontracting massage therapy.
Immediately, inflammation may occur after the massage because sometimes the technique is a little incisive, but should resolve within a couple of days.
In the long term, however, well-being is assured, because the muscle fibers will relax, returning to their natural position.
