In most cases, contractures are due to repeated, prolonged or excessively intense efforts. However, bad posture, trauma or surgery can also be the cause of small or large contractures.

The decontracting massage involves specific techniques in relation to the area to be treated, which are aimed at reducing muscle tension and spasms, vascularize the tissues by increasing the supply of oxygen, mobilize them and restore the normal flow between muscle fibers.

Treating only the painful part is often not enough to solve the problem, therefore, in addition to the contracted area, the surrounding areas are also treated with manipulations that are first light and then increasingly deeper. For example, when you have a contracture in the “calf” it is appropriate to treat the rest of the leg and the foot as well.

How does the treatment work?

Normally the massage lasts about 50-60 minutes and depending on the type of problem, two or more sessions may be necessary. Between one session and another, it is always advisable to perform small muscle stretching exercises in order to maintain and restore normal muscle elasticity. The exercises are always proposed at the end of each treatment.

Low back pain, on the other hand, are those pains that are felt in the lower back, near the pelvis.

For both, before any treatment, it is advisable to analyze the situation with specific tests and a thorough evaluation. Better if the patient has instrumental reports such as MRI or CT.

What are the causes?

The causes can be the most varied, from incorrect posture and movements to psychological stress, including trauma, poor muscle condition and excessive body weight.

Once the problem has been identified and the cause or causes have been identified, a personalized therapeutic plan is drawn up based mainly on manual manipulation and kinesitherapy aimed at relaxing the fascia and soothing the pain until the symptoms have completely disappeared.

How does the terapy works?

Relaxation and muscle stretching exercises, joint mobilization and muscle strengthening are always proposed to be carried out between sessions. Normally a cycle of 4-5 sessions is resolving in most cases, but in relation to the condition of the individual may provide some additional sessions.

This massage is the traditional western massage that takes its name from the place in Europe where it was born and developed. It is mainly characterized by the fact that the whole body is treated in order to promote relaxation and release muscle tension derived from everyday life.

How it works?

It starts from the feet and goes up to the head; at first light strokes are performed, followed by frictions, superficial and deep manipulations/mixing, percussions to reactivate the circulation and final relaxing strokes.

Massage oil is used to make the massage more pleasant and gentle. Massage lasts about 60 minutes and is normally considered as a “relaxing” therapy to be performed weekly or even several times a week, according to the preferences and needs of the patient.

This “tape” was born in Japan almost 30 years ago from the idea of Dr. Kenzo Kase, who then continued his studies and implemented the instrument in the United States.

Kinesiotape is made of elastic, non-medicated, hypoallergenic, water-resistant cotton with weight and thickness comparable to skin.

How it works?

The main effect is to lift slightly the superficial part of the skin exploiting the elastic power of the material, which must be positioned with professionalism and precision, to obtain the desired effect. Depending on how much you “pull” the tape, the effect produced varies from a lymphatic draining effect to a stabilizing effect comparable to the white tape typical of ankle sprains.

What are the main effects?

Among the many beneficial effects we highlight the immediate reduction of the pain syndrome, the increase of the range of movement in joint diseases, the improvement of blood vascularization, the normalization of muscular tension, the removal of venous and lymphatic congestion, the correction of muscular alignment, the improvement of posture, the absorption of edemas.

But not only, it improves the athlete’s technical gesture during the competition, favors the post-race muscular recovery, reduces edema and shortens the time of reabsorption.

The tape has a life cycle of about 3/4 days during which it is possible to wash and perform all normal activities without any precautions. In fact, it is precisely during movement that the kinesiotape is most effective. Normally with one or two applications, the problem is completely solved.
