Sports massage is a type of therapy used to promote the health and well-being of athletes and active people.
Its main goal is to improve joint mobility, relax muscles, improve blood and lymph flow, and with all of the above, help with recovery. It is part of active regeneration, which is also carried out at the Laško Health Resort as part of therapies, and at Thermana Laško, where it is also offered to external guests.
Thermana Laško is known for its wide range of services, including sports body and back massage. The difference between the two is that during a body massage, the masseur, in addition to the back, also focuses on other parts of the body, most often the legs and arms.
Sports massage cannot be compared to classic massage, as the latter is intended solely for relaxation. In sports massage, the masseur uses different techniques and his whole body, stretching the patient's muscle fibers and thus relaxing parts of the body.
Part of a sports body massage is, of course, a foot massage. It is a mixture of pressure on the thigh, calf, and calf muscles, as well as the reflex points of the feet.
Before the massage, the muscles are warmed up with short stretching and movement techniques, which allows the muscles to relax and respond better to the massage.
During the massage, varying amounts of pressure are used, from gentle to strong. The massage is performed on wet skin, preferably with the help of oil or ointment. This allows the masseur's fingers to glide more easily and smoothly over the client's skin.
This type of massage is intended for all active individuals. The large municipality of Celje is a neighbor of the city of Laško, and Celje is known for its successful athletes who encourage young people to continue the Slovenian tradition of sports. Massage relaxes the athlete, strengthens them for the future, and relieves pain in parts of the body.
An important advantage of the Laško Spa is that we have a capable staff who approach their work professionally. Masseurs and physiotherapists have experience and knowledge in the field of sports massage, which is reflected in customer satisfaction.
