| Russian
Massage - How it works |
 |
Russian
massage is a system of "therapeutic and sports massage" developed in
the former Soviet Union. It uses a variety of manipulations of the
body's soft tissues to achieve benefits, including stress reduction and
relief from muscle aches.
Russian sports massage utilizes specific massage techniques focusing on
athletic training, performance, and recovery, for specific individual
sport athletes during the off season and for training and competition.
Russian sports massage can greatly decrease recuperation time after
athletic activity, combat fatigue, and improve performance by easing
pain and reducing tension. It can prevent muscle and tendon injuries,
reduce the strain and discomforts of training, and forestall many of
the common problems athletes develop from repetitive motion. Treatments
are individualized to both the athlete and the sport, with
concentration on areas of the body that are subjected to the greatest
stress. During training, Russian Sports Massage helps athletes to
increase their flexibility and range of motion and recover faster from
workouts. It also relaxes and tones the muscles. The focus during
training massage is to prevent the development of chronic problems and
speed healing from any current injuries. Russian sports massage done
before an athletic event or activity, stimulates circulation, calms
nervous tension, and prepares the body for peak performance. It warms
and stretches muscles and increases their flexibility, reducing the
chance of serious injury. After an athletic event a Russian Sports
Massage can help to repair small tears in the muscles that are common
in athletes after profound exertion..It does this by relieving swelling
caused by the damage and encourages blood flow to the muscles. It also
helps the body remove excess lactic acid, a waste product of muscle
metabolism that accumulates when muscles are stressed (lactic acid is
responsible for the familiar deep muscle soreness and burning athletes
often experience after a major event). Russian Sports Massage also
reduces stiffness and cramping, and helps speed recovery time. .

Step 1: Ultrasound
Ultrasound improves local blood circulation, promotes the breakdown of
fibrous tissue to release cellulite nodules, increases reabsorption of
local edema (swelling), enhances the disintegration of fats and
prepares tissue for the next step.
Step 2: N.I.S.T.
Non- Invasive Subdermal Therapy helps mobilize and eliminate fatty
deposits, stimulates circulation, promotes the reabsorption and
drainage of retained fluids and toxins and improves the overall
elasticity and quality of the skin. |
