SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS
Treatment of uncomfortable muscular tensions in the back of the neck
Remaining in a seated position for long periods, associated with repetitive movements of the upper limbs (as is frequently
the case in front of a computer screen), is often responsible for an uncomfortable – or even painful – increase of muscle
tension of the back of the neck muscles. Any other condition of stress may also create situations leading to a state of excessive
muscular tension, which is often responsible for painful or uncomfortable sensations. The in-depth effects produced by the
Relaxing massage programme enable to contrast effectively such painful sensations, with a particularly significant result in
terms of relaxation.
Cycle duration:To be used on the back of the neck muscles, whenever an occasional sensa-
tion of painful muscular tension is felt; to be repeated, if necessary, in cases of particularly
strong muscular tension
Programme: Relaxing massage 15◊
Treatment of a localised sensation of heaviness or an occasional state of fatigue
The many stresses of everyday life are often responsible for uncomfortable, or even painful, physical sensations. A circulation
slowdown is often the result of insufficient physical activity, frequently aggravated by the need in one's working life to
remain in the same position for many hours (in a seated position, for example). Although not serious, this simple "vascular
slowdown" is, however, frequently the cause of unpleasant sensations (for example: a sensation of heaviness, often localised
in the lower limbs, but also, at times, in another region of the body). The Reviving massage programme produces, in the
greatest comfort, a reactivation of the blood circulation that allows an acceleration of tissue oxygenation and the elimination
of painful sensations, due to insufficient physical effort.
Cycle duration: To be used on the calf muscles, whenever an occasional sensation of
heaviness is felt; to be repeated, if necessary, in cases of persistent discomfort
Programme: Reviving massage 25◊
