Our Center&#8217;s <strong>massage treatment<\/strong> provides immediate relief from pain. We modify the type of massage according to the needs of the client. If you are an athlete you may benefit from an <strong>athletic massage<\/strong> that will release your tight muscles, thus alleviating the tension caused by your strenuous activities. If you suffer from <strong>headaches<\/strong> the massage will be relaxing, focused on key points on the cervical and cranial area. Lots of people work for many hours sitting in front of a desk and get <strong>cervical<\/strong> or <strong>lumbar pain and stiffness<\/strong>. This can be effectively treated with a soothing massage session.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people ask us how massage works so well in dealing with somatic pain. We know from scientific literature that pain is a sensation that is caused by the brain when it needs to alert you that some part of your body may be under threat from something potentially harmful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately our brains also have their own <strong>pain medication \u201ckit\u201d<\/strong> that they can use for desensitizing themselves and the spinal cord (top down inhibition). We know now that this \u201ckit\u201d works better when <strong>pleasant and soothing<\/strong> information travels from the body to the brain. It is thought that in this way the brain believes that the threat is no longer so serious and it can <strong>reduce the \u201cdistress call\u201d<\/strong> a.k.a. pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Massage can be extremely pleasant and soothing and with regard to the latter it can serve as a facilitator to the brain\u2019s desensitizing mechanisms. On the other hand massage is thought to also have <strong>local<\/strong> positive effects. <strong>Tightened muscles<\/strong> with painful <strong>trigger-points<\/strong> will relax and recover after a massage and pressure point therapy. This subsequently will lead to <strong>pain reduction<\/strong> and <strong>better movement<\/strong> of the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"block-41be20-93\" class=\"wp-block-gutenbee-spacer\" style=\"background-repeat:no-repeat;background-size:cover;background-position:top center;background-attachment:scroll\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><style>#block-41be20-93 { height: 45px; }<\/style><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"block-d7f862-d1\" class=\"wp-block-gutenbee-justified-gallery wp-block-gutenbee-gallery-justified\" data-gallery-type=\"justified\" data-row-height=\"210\" data-margins=\"5\" data-last-row=\"justify\" data-randomize=\"false\"><div class=\"wp-block-gutenbee-gallery-content\"><div class=\"wp-block-gutenbee-gallery-item\"><a class=\"wp-block-gutenbee-gallery-item-link\" href=\"https:\/\/physiomotive.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/therapeytiki-malaxi-physiomotive-img2.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[1141]\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/physiomotive.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/therapeytiki-malaxi-physiomotive-img2.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"818\" data-link=\"https:\/\/physiomotive.gr\/therapeytiki-malaxi\/therapeytiki-malaxi-physiomotive-img2\/\" class=\"wp-block-gutenbee-gallery-item-image\"\/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-gutenbee-gallery-item\"><a class=\"wp-block-gutenbee-gallery-item-link\" href=\"https:\/\/physiomotive.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/therapeytiki-malaxi-physiomotive-img1.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[1141]\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/physiomotive.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/therapeytiki-malaxi-physiomotive-img1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"817\" data-link=\"https:\/\/physiomotive.gr\/therapeytiki-malaxi\/therapeytiki-malaxi-physiomotive-img1\/\" class=\"wp-block-gutenbee-gallery-item-image\"\/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-gutenbee-gallery-item\"><a class=\"wp-block-gutenbee-gallery-item-link\" href=\"https:\/\/physiomotive.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/therapeytiki-malaxi-physiomotive-img5.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[1141]\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/physiomotive.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/therapeytiki-malaxi-physiomotive-img5.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"815\" data-link=\"https:\/\/physiomotive.gr\/therapeytiki-malaxi\/therapeytiki-malaxi-physiomotive-img5\/\" class=\"wp-block-gutenbee-gallery-item-image\"\/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-gutenbee-gallery-item\"><a class=\"wp-block-gutenbee-gallery-item-link\" href=\"https:\/\/physiomotive.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/therapeytiki-malaxi-physiomotive-img6.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[1141]\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/physiomotive.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/therapeytiki-malaxi-physiomotive-img6.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"816\" data-link=\"https:\/\/physiomotive.gr\/therapeytiki-malaxi\/therapeytiki-malaxi-physiomotive-img6\/\" class=\"wp-block-gutenbee-gallery-item-image\"\/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-gutenbee-gallery-item\"><a class=\"wp-block-gutenbee-gallery-item-link\" href=\"https:\/\/physiomotive.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/therapeytiki-malaxi-physiomotive-img3.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[1141]\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/physiomotive.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/therapeytiki-malaxi-physiomotive-img3.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"819\" data-link=\"https:\/\/physiomotive.gr\/therapeytiki-malaxi\/therapeytiki-malaxi-physiomotive-img3\/\" class=\"wp-block-gutenbee-gallery-item-image\"\/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-gutenbee-gallery-item\"><a class=\"wp-block-gutenbee-gallery-item-link\" href=\"https:\/\/physiomotive.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/therapeytiki-malaxi-physiomotive-img4.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[1141]\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/physiomotive.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/therapeytiki-malaxi-physiomotive-img4.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"820\" data-link=\"https:\/\/physiomotive.gr\/therapeytiki-malaxi\/therapeytiki-malaxi-physiomotive-img4\/\" class=\"wp-block-gutenbee-gallery-item-image\"\/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is widely known that massage is a healing and pain relieving treatment.
