This type of massage is based on the theory of segmental body structure. Special segmental methods are used in this type of massage in addition to ordinary massage methods.

This technique allows to avoid the massage of large areas of the body, which is sometimes exhausting and contraindicated, and to work purposefully on a small area. Segmental massage combines several massage techniques, such as acupressure, classical massage, connective massage, and periosteal massage.

THE EFFECTS OF SEGMENTAL MASSAGE:

• Improvement of trophicity of tissues and elasticity of fascia
• Stimulation of blood circulation in the area
• Improvement of deep receptors functioning (proprioception)
• Improvement of neuromuscular communication in the area
• Reduction of tension in tissues

This type of massage is suitable for treatment of local pathologies, such as diseases of a large joint and chronic pain syndrome in a certain area. The overall effect is improved if massage is combined with physiotherapy.

The duration of the procedure is 30 minutes. The frequency and the number of necessary procedures are determined by the doctor.
