At Elemiah Massage a deep, therapeutic fascial (connective tissue) massage is being applied through frictions. Frictions are
circular movements applied with the fingers on a specific location on the body. Length frictions are also applied along the
attachments of the muscles. Frictions can be painful, especially at the beginning of the massage. They reduce muscle tension,
stimulate the blood flow (and thus the healing process), and above all break down inferior connective tissue which causes
persistent complaints. Subsequently, healthy tissue can regenerate again. Your body experiences a “clean up” process which
gives you an immediate sense of relaxation, and longer term pain reduction.

Besides the actual massage, it is also possible to focus on the cause of the complaint which could be either physical or
emotional in nature. A regular program of massage therapy will help you to achieve and sustain positive changes, in both
your physical and emotional health.

All massage forms at Elemiah Massage are based on the therapeutic fascial massage, and are tailored to your specific needs.
Nevertheless, the massage area and the intensity of the massage may differ on request, depending on the aim of the massage.
The aim of the massage can be:

• The treatment of specific complaints
• Relaxation
• Revitalisation and improvement of sports performance
• The decrease of cellulite

Next to the regular therapeutic fascial massage, you can also book a:
Hot stone massage: a relaxation massage with warm stones (not on warm days)
Chair massage: 30 minute revitalizing pressure point massage on the massage chair (the client remains fully clothed)
