The types of massage we do

Our massages are based on relaxation and well-being, pleasure is the main priority of our sessions, in this case, we do not do any massage for medical, paramedical or physiotherapy purposes.

We do not practice any intimate so-called "tantric" massage.

GENERAL ABSOLUTE CONTRAINDICATIONS

  • Fever, bacterial or viral infection, therefore in the presence of an infection, the activation of the cardiovascular system is contraindicated for the heart in particular

  • Thrombosis, Phlebitis (= inflammation of a vein following the presence of a blood clot), so that stimulation of the circulatory system by massage could cause this clot to migrate into a pulmonary artery thus causing an embolism pulmonary, which if massive can be fatal

  • Serious heart or lung disease, arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, cerebral hemorrhage, because too tonic and / or too deep a massage can lead to heart palpitations in a person with a fragile, tired heart

  • Diseases related to the bones and the skeleton, such as osteoporosis which weakens the bones and promotes fractures
