Chiromassage is a form of manual massage that consists of kneading, rubbing and tapping the superficial parts of the body with the hands<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

By exerting pressure on an area of the body where the patient feels pain, a reflex response is produced that allows the pain to be relieved.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

  • Friction or slippage<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    It consists of gently<\/strong>, slowly and evenly rubbing<\/strong> the area of the body where the treatment is applied.<\/p>\n

    It is recommended when seeking to improve blood circulation and increase skin regeneration<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Friction<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The therapist uses his or her fingertips to apply controlled pressure<\/strong> using very brief movements.<\/p>\n

      Friction increases blood flow to the treated area<\/strong>, separates the tissues preventing adhesions from forming and has an analgesic effect.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Compression<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        As its name indicates, pressure is exerted on the area<\/strong>, this pressure is performed between periods of thirty seconds and one minute.<\/p>\n

        The objective is to decrease local inflammation and increase drainage of the lymphatic tissues<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Percussion<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Percussion is a vigorous technique, and there are basically two types: tapping<\/strong> (small taps on the treated area) and pounding<\/strong> (tapping the body gently with the edge of the hand).<\/p>\n

          Percussion is used to increase blood flow to the area<\/strong>, stimulate the patient due to its energetic nature and increase muscle tone.<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Kneading<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            In the kneading technique, energetic movements<\/strong> are performed rhythmically<\/strong> that detach the deep tissues from the more superficial ones and displace the muscle fibers.<\/p>\n

            It is used to facilitate muscle nutrition, relax muscle tissues and promote the elimination of waste substances<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

              \n
            • Vibration<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              The vibratory massage consists of very fast and short movements, with a lot of vigor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

              The vibration they produce relaxes the muscle<\/strong>, stimulates blood circulation and stimulates the contractile capacity of the muscle fibers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
