What is a connective tissue massage?

Connective tissue massage for hardening of the tissue

Connective tissue massage is a massage technique used to loosen adhesions and hardening of the connective tissue. This form of massage is often used for muscle tension, joint stiffness, hardening after accidents and injuries, but also for prevention and regeneration. During the connective tissue massage, the fingers or the palm of the hand gently penetrate the skin and work on the connective tissue with circular movements and gentle stretches. The massage helps to loosen the tissue and thus relieve tension. The muscles that comprise the treatment are also loosened. This makes it possible to better reach and work deep-lying muscle areas. Stimulation of blood flow and lymphatic circulation improves tissue circulation and promotes purification. A connective tissue massage can also help improve joint mobility and relax the body overall. The massage treatment is suitable for people of all ages and is gentle. It can also be used as a preventive measure against adhesions and hardening of the connective tissue.

When should a connective tissue massage be used?

Connective tissue massage is a special form of massage, which differs mainly in its direct application to the connective tissue. It is used mainly for muscle tension, but also for injuries, pain and dysfunction of the musculoskeletal system. It can also help in the treatment of blood and lymphatic congestion, as well as in the relief of pain in chronic diseases. Connective tissue massage can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including pain in the back, shoulders and neck, headaches and tension in the neck and shoulders, joint pain, sciatica and spinal problems. It can also help in the treatment of tendonitis, shoulder pain and osteoporosis.

Procedure and treatment of connective tissue massage

A connective tissue massage is a manual therapy aimed at improving and maintaining the mobility of the connective tissue. The procedure of a connective tissue massage is usually as follows: First, the muscles and fascia of the affected area are checked with the help of stroking movements. Then, a thorough stretching and massage of the affected region is performed. At this stage, special techniques such as friction, rolling, compression and trigger point therapy may also be used. Then, special stretching exercises are performed to increase the flexibility of the connective tissue. Finally, the patient is asked to perform specific movements to help improve mobility.
