Massage in Funchal

Massage involves applying pressure or vibration to the body's soft tissues, including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints, to stimulate circulation, mobility and flexibility, or relieve certain types of bodily pain.

As a form of therapy, it is also known as massage therapy. It can be applied to specific areas or continuously across the whole body to treat physical injuries, relieve psychological stress, manage pain, improve circulation and ease tension. When used for physical and mental benefits, it may be referred to as therapeutic massage.

Massage encompasses a very wide range of manual techniques — in which the therapist uses their hands to bring about beneficial changes in the patient's muscles and skeletal structure, or through them in another part of the body — and non-manual techniques using mechanical or electrical equipment alone. It is one of the world's oldest forms of therapy and is used in a wide variety of situations.
