MEDICAL MASSAGE BERN
A medical massage is intended to treat specific health problems. It is often recommended on the advice of a doctor or therapist. The focus of a medical massage is to relieve and release severe tension and physical discomfort. In contrast to classic massage, which focuses on general tension, medical massage concentrates on providing relief from chronic pain. It is also intended to improve mobility, support rehabilitation after injuries or operations or treat certain medical conditions.
Before treatment, a detailed medical history is taken in order to assess individual needs and discuss the right techniques. Based on the individual problem, the solution is also targeted to treat specific problems.
Techniques that are frequently used in medical massage include classic massage, trigger point therapy, deeptissue and fascia therapy. These methods are designed to address specific complaints and provide comprehensive relief.

What’s the procedure of a medical massage at Origin Massage Bern?
At the beginning of the therapy session, you and your therapist will have an initial consultation to discuss the main aspects of your state of health. This conversation usually lasts between 5 and 20 minutes and serves to clarify the goals of the treatment.
You can then undress at your leisure and lie down on the treatment table.
The treatment will be adapted and carried out according to the preferences discussed beforehand. Your therapist will be available to answer any questions or comments you may have.
At the end of the session, appointments for further sessions can be made if desired.
How many treatments does it usually take?
It is always very individual how many treatments are necessary to alleviate the symptoms. Normally it is between 1-6 sessions – the exact number will be determined over the course of the treatments. If you do not notice any improvement after 3 treatments, we will evaluate whether another therapist might be able to help you better with your problem.
What is the difference between a classic and a medical massage?
The focus of medical massage is mainly on the treatment of specific health problems and the elimination of chronic conditions. It is also used after injuries or operations.
As a subtype of medical massage, classic massage is only used if it is effective in addressing the problem. The basic aim of this method is to relieve general tension, often in the shoulder, back, neck or leg area, to provide relaxation or to increase general well-being.
