Massage therapy and kinesitherapy
Pure comfort for body and mind. A therapeutic touch to relieve pain, undo knots and quiet the mind.
Relieve, repair, soothe
Massage therapy is a form of holistic medicine about 4,700 years old. It uses therapeutic human touch to massage the muscles and soft tissues of the body.
Therapeutic massage aims to relieve pain, help injuries heal, increase blood circulation, undo adhesions and knots, relax the body and quiet the mind, for overall well-being.
Massage therapy is highly complementary to other practices such as physiotherapy, osteopathy, occupational therapy, kinesiology and acupuncture. A relaxed body carries out treatments, exercises and recommendations more easily, for faster and more complete results.
As a massage and kinesitherapy therapist, Karina adds kinesitherapy techniques to her massage: cupping, myoflossing, taping and sports flush massage.
