The massage session will begin with light, gentle maneuvers that will help the muscular and nervous systems relax.

You must immediately communicate to the kineto-therapist if you feel any kind of discomfort! The massage is the most efficient when your body is relaxed and doesn't impose any sort of resistance.

Of course they can. Our therapist will check this thing with each person during the massage, but you should also communicate with the therapist telling him or her which type of pressure you prefer and can stand.

This state is actually a dose-off (it's not the state of profound sleep) and is very good because it gives the organism the chance to redo and heal itself. While you are heading towards the office you will feel like you are floating and nothing will be able to upset you. One minute later you will feel more vigilant, stress free and without back aches. Then you will suddenly realize that you forgot in the massage room your glasses, your cell phone or your badge - our clients know what we are talking about).
