Massage therapy

How is it different from a regular massage?

A regular massage aims at relaxation. Massage therapy relieves specific pain and tension with more targeted techniques.

How many sessions do I need?

Occasional pain: 1 to 2 sessions. Chronic tension: 4 to 6 sessions. Maintenance: about once a month.

Are there contraindications?

Yes: acute inflammation or infection, recent fracture, thrombosis or phlebitis, fever. If in doubt, see your doctor.

How can I make the results last?

Stay hydrated, avoid intense exercise right after, stretch and keep good posture.

Sports massage

When should I get a sports massage?

24 to 48 h before exercise, or 24 to 72 h after.

What are the benefits?

Faster recovery, less soreness, better circulation and injury prevention.

Osteopathy

What is osteopathy?

An approach that restores the body's balance by working on muscle and joint tension.

How often should I come?

Amateur athlete: every 2 to 3 months. Elite: every month. Pain: 1 to 3 sessions close together.

Does it hurt?

No. Some techniques may cause brief mild discomfort.

Osteopath or physiotherapist?

An osteopath works on the overall balance of the body. A physiotherapist mainly works on rehabilitation after an injury or surgery. The two are complementary.

Training

Do I need experience?

Not for cupping or therapeutic massage. Sports massage requires basic skills.

What do I receive at the end?

A Body Recup certificate of attendance. It is not a state-recognised diploma.
