**Classical massage

This massage originated in Sweden, which is why it is also called Swedish massage. In this country it is probably the best known massage and is characterized especially by the very deep grips such as kneading, friction and also pressure point stimulation. By varying the pressure and speed of the treatment, the whole versatility of this massage comes into its own. Thus, acute as well as chronic pain conditions can be treated specifically. But this massage has also proven to be very effective for the preparation and aftercare of sporting activities. Tense muscles can be treated specifically and effectively with the classic massage, which is why it is also often prescribed by doctors.

Effect: The classical massage works on all levels. It leads to deep mental relaxation, the muscles are strongly supplied with blood and loosened, adhesions in the connective tissue are mobilized. This leads to a very pleasant state, which usually lasts far beyond the massage.

The treatment costs of classical massages are covered by most health insurance companies, provided you have the appropriate supplementary insurance. Please ask your health insurance or accident insurance about cost sharing.

manual lymphatic drainage

Lymphatic drainage is a special form of massage that can be used for both therapeutic and cosmetic treatments. It has a decongestive, pain-relieving, relaxing effect and strengthens the immunological defense system. Manual lymphatic drainage is an indispensable component of qualified physical decongestion treatment. The mode of action and effectiveness of this massage technique has been scientifically proven.

Interesting facts about the lymphatic system There is much and often talk about the blood, the circulation system and the blood vessels. But the circulation system includes not only blood vessels but also lymphatic vessels. Blood is not the only fluid that flows through our body. The vessels of the lymphatic system transport lymph, a fluid that plays a crucial role in the exchange of substances and the immune functions of the body. Our organism is equipped with two transport systems for the exchange of nutrients and waste products: Blood vessels with six liters of blood and lymph vessels with two liters of lymph. Lying in close proximity, both vascular systems move through the body, together ensuring a balance of fluids in the tissues. Strictly speaking, one causes the other.

The lymphatic vessels support the veins in their disposal work like a helping hand. It is they that absorb the larger components from our body tissue and ensure the removal of protein, viruses, bacteria, dead cells, toxins and foreign particles. Like a sewage treatment plant, the lymphatic system removes coarser waste products. Over 600 lymph nodes cleanse the watery-white lymph fluid and return it to the blood.

The lymphatic system thus has the task of draining and purifying the organism via the lymphatic vessels. It is also the carrier of the defense system: the lymphatic organs produce lymphocytes and immune cells to fight off pathogens.

Method and technique of manual lymphatic drainage Lymphatic drainage is a special form of massage and was developed by the Danish sociologist and physiotherapist Dr. Emil Vodder 75 years ago. The method aroused the interest of doctors and researchers due to its sensational healing results and is now internationally recognized. The hand grips specially developed by Dr. Vodder for the particularly fine vascular network are still used as the only effective technique.

The grip technique determines the success or failure of the treatment. Lymphatic drainage is not a caressing massage, as it is often portrayed. In order to stimulate lymph transport, the skin and subcutaneous tissue must be "deformed". Only this causes the necessary stretching stimulus, which the vessels need to be able to react sensibly. The essence of this treatment technique is circular movements in a certain temporal rhythm, which are performed simultaneously without much pressure.

Drainage must be gentle, harmonious, rhythmic and performed with supple hands. It is used to stimulate lymphatic vessel activity. Harsh massage may result in local occlusion of lymphatic capillaries.

Important: If edema has been present for a long time, the grip technique must be adapted to the changing tissue. Special edema grips are used in the lymphedema area to loosen, shift or displace the edema fluid.

The treatment costs of manual lymphatic drainage are covered by most health insurance companies, provided you have the appropriate supplementary insurance. Please inquire with your health insurance or accident insurance about cost sharing.

Foot reflexology

Reflexology has a local effect: massaging the reflex zones of the foot improves blood circulation. However, reflexology on the foot is based on the idea that the feet are interrelated with the whole body through their reflex zones. Therefore, beyond the local effect, the massage of the reflex zones of the foot is said to promote, for example, the lymphatic drainage in the arms and legs, relieve muscle tension, relieve pain, help to sleep better and strengthen the physical condition.

Foot reflexology has a stimulating effect on the immune system and can favorably influence the autonomic nervous system. For this reason, foot reflexology massages are also used in chronic diseases to initiate and promote healing.

The treatment costs of foot reflexology are covered by most health insurance companies, provided you have the appropriate supplementary insurance. Please ask your health insurance or accident insurance about cost sharing.

**The gentle foot massages according to Nick Durrer are a gift to all sensitive people.

We spend a large part of our lives on our feet and yet many people pay little attention to them. Day after day they carry not only our body weight, but also all our unnecessary worries.

The foot massages according to Nick Durrer capture the human being as a whole. Today we know that the human being is more than just a body, namely body, soul and spirit. However, one often does not know how to integrate the theoretical knowledge into everyday life or practical work. Thus, laws are constantly circumvented and violated.

"Solve the cause instead of suppressing it."
Pressure always creates counterpressure.

In the courses, the basic rules of life are taught, which are then implemented in the practical massage work. The massages are coordinated and each builds on the previous one in theory and practice.

The Gentle Foot Massages according to Nick Durrer (N.D.) differ significantly from the traditional pressure massages. In the N.D. Gentle Foot Massages, the massage movements on the foot zones are performed without pressure and in a harmonious sequence. Therefore, they are very appreciated by adults, as well as by children.

These foot massages work on all levels of our being and support everyone in their individual processes.

In the foot massages according to N.D. we treat the foot as a sensitive and wonderful energy carrier, which contains the whole human being. It has access to all organs and to all subtle levels. If we know the laws that influence all levels and behave accordingly, this supports us in all our processes and thus gives us the opportunity for a more fulfilling life.

The difference and the effect of the 3 different foot massages according to Nick Durrer

Relaxation foot massage according to N.D.

In this fine and gentle foot massage the sluggish organs are stimulated and activated, the overstimulated organs are calmed down. The procedure follows the homeopathic principle from top to bottom. The fine massage movements are specially adapted to the organs in order to support them in their functions. They cause cleansing and harmonization of all organs and the whole body can relax accordingly.

Soul-Energetic Foot Massage according to N.D.

Through the cleansing energy effect on the soul level, anxiety, stress, mental illnesses and old energy blockages can be dissolved. Disease-causing thoughts are drawn off before they manifest in the body. This foot massage is also excellent for preventive purposes.

Build-up foot massage according to N.D.

It is a harmonious combination of the Relaxing and Soul-Energetic Foot Massage. The effectiveness is intensified and increased by the fact that the course of the massage is not based on the organic connections, but on the spiritual connections and energy connections. Here, too, energetic waste products are removed and subtle blockages are dissolved.

Bach Flower Therapy

The English physician Edward Bach (1886-1936) developed this healing method in the 1930s. It is based on 37 flower essences and an essence of rock spring water. To produce the essence, freshly harvested flowers are added to the spring water and placed in the sun or heated briefly. Alcohol is then added to the water extract. Then this mother tincture is diluted with water.

The extracts harmonize emotional imbalances such as stress or anxiety, in which Edward Bach saw the cause of all diseases. Common agrimony, for example, is used for dishonesty and tension, trembling poplar is said to reduce fear of the unknown, horse chestnut helps with learning difficulties and concentration problems.

By far the best known of Bach's flower essences is Rescue, emergency drops. This is a combination of five essences.

• Rock Rose
• Sunflower
• Component of the emergency drops

Cellulite treatment - Body Wrapping

What is cellulite?

Cellulite is a constitutional, non-inflammatory change of the subcutaneous fatty tissue. The dimpled surface of the skin resembles the surface of an orange. The fat cells can increase in size up to 10 times.

**Possible causes

• *Hormonal causes
• Overweight Because the fat chambers in the subcutaneous tissue directly influence cellulite, weight plays an overriding role in the development and treatment of cellulite. The more fat cells fill the fat chambers, the greater the pressure on the dermis and epidermis, which promotes cellulite.
• Smoking makes the skin thinner and less elastic, which increases cellulite
• Poor diet An unbalanced diet rich in fats and the consumption of alcohol and caffeine promote the development of cellulite. Simply limiting these causes can have a positive effect. A vitamin-rich diet with lots of fruit, vegetables, whole grain products and plenty of water, along with intensive exercise, are important prerequisites in the fight against cellulite.
• Medicines Diet pills, sleeping pills and diuretics all cause cellulite to develop. Birth control pills also contribute to the development of cellulite, due to the increased estrogen levels they cause. These pills also lead to the obstruction of lymphatic drainage and the removal of waste products. This results in fluid retention and accumulation of harmful substances in the tissues. The tissue becomes overacidified and hardened.
• Low-movement lifestyle Sitting is extremely harmful for the connective tissue and the disposal of metabolic products via the lymphatic system and the veins. The veins and lymphatic vessels can only move blood and lymphatic fluid through muscle contractions. Without proper movement, the pooling blood in the veins and lymph fluid in the lymphatic system exerts pressure on the vessels and dilates them. Overstretched veins and lymph vessels remove waste products much more slowly and cause poor circulation. So take advantage of every opportunity to move. 20 minutes of brisk walking per day is already sufficient.Body

Body-Wrapping

Body wrapping reduces the circumference of the body, tightens the connective tissue, reduces cellulite, tightens the appearance of the skin, reduces small fat pads and promotes the regression of the skin as a result of childbirth or large weight loss.

Realistically, one can speak of a loss of 0.5 - 2.5 cm in circumference.

Body wrapping is performed in several steps:

• peeling
• special anti-cellulite massage
• application of the body forming cream
• wrapping with 2 layers of special foil
• resting phase

At the beginning the blood circulation is stimulated by the peeling and a special massage technique. Subsequently, the affected areas are creamed with the Body-Forming cream and then wrapped with two layers of foil - one loose and one tight. Then follows the resting phase with manual lymphatic drainage to additionally support the lymphatic drainage.

The foil promotes the development of heat. The mix of wrapping technique and the heat influences the blood circulation, which opens the lymph capillaries. Lymph and waste - stress-related toxins, tobacco, medicines - accumulated in the intercellular spaces are absorbed by the lymph vessels and transported away into the venous circulation. This leads to an intensive purification of the subcutaneous fatty tissue.

Body wrapping is recommended for use on the common problem areas: Abdomen, waist, thighs and upper arms as well as hips and calves.

To achieve the desired effects, experts recommend a course of several weeks with ten body wrapping applications. One treatment lasts about an hour.
