Service Description
The decontracting massage is a method created for athletes and sportsmen, but over time it has been aimed at all those subjects who, due to postural, emotional problems or/and bad habits, have localized or generalized muscle stiffness. What is a contracture Involuntary, persistent and painful contraction of one or more muscles. The muscle involved is stiff and the hypertonia of the muscle fibers is perceptible to the touch. When a muscle contracts, it shortens, limiting the amplitude of the extension of our movements, causing tension and therefore painful stiffness. The contracture is in itself a defensive act that arises when the muscle tissue is stressed beyond its limit. Stiffness and pain are sensations that everyone, at least once in their life, has experienced. The contracture can be caused by: Insufficient warming up during or following sports activity Excessive contractions and muscle spasms Postural defects Stress
