Swelling, fluid retention in the arms or legs
Acute inflammation in the limb area
During the procedure, the patient’s condition is assessed, taking into account complaints, diagnoses, and motor function, the area of impact is determined (upper or lower limb, one or both sides), after which appropriate techniques are selected depending on the goal – pain relief, recovery, or lymphatic drainage.
Massage of the upper or lower limb
Extremity massage is a deep therapeutic technique aimed at restoring soft tissues, improving blood circulation and joint mobility. It helps relieve tension, reduce pain and accelerate recovery after stress, injuries or surgeries.
How does extremity massage work?
During the procedure, the masseur affects the muscles, tendons, ligaments and vessels of the upper (shoulder, forearm, hand) or lower (thigh, lower leg, foot) limb. Using stroking, rubbing, kneading and vibration techniques, he:
Reduces muscle blocks and lymph congestion
Normalizes venous and arterial blood circulation
Stimulates regeneration after injuries
Activates nerve conduction in the limb
Who is it recommended for?
People after injuries or surgeries on their arms/legs
For those who have swelling, numbness, heaviness in the limbs
Patients with arthrosis, tendonitis, bursitis
In the presence of muscle spasms, trigger points
After a stroke or with neurological diseases
For anyone who experiences mobility limitations or needs to regain activity
Main indications
-
Swelling, fluid retention in the arms or legs
-
Myalgia, muscle weakness, spasticity
-
Post-traumatic conditions (dislocations, fractures)
-
Arthritis, arthrosis, bursitis of the extremities
-
Recovery after plaster cast, immobilization
-
Sensory disturbances, tingling, “pins and needles”
-
Tunnel syndromes (carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel)
Advantages of the procedure
Targeted impact on the problem area
Helps to reduce swelling and normalize lymph drainage
Activates nerve endings — improves sensitivity
Relieves hypertonicity, restores full range of motion
Improves tissue nutrition and reduces pain
Can be combined with exercise therapy, physiotherapy, kinesiotherapy
Contraindications

Fractures without stabilization
-
Skin infections, wounds, dermatitis
-
Oncological diseases
How does the session work?
Session duration : 25 minutes.
Recommended course : 5–10 procedures, possible combination with kinesiotherapy (calculated individually for each patient).
Results
