Therapeutic techniques
During functional massage, the tense muscles are massaged while moving the arm at right angles to their course. The duration and intensity of the functional massage depends on the individual findings. Medium dosage: every 2nd day, a few minutes per pain point The treatment can cause a painful “wellbeing”. This should not last after the treatment, but should give way to pain relief!
