WHAT IS CONNECTIVE TISSUE?

Connective tissue is the layer that fills the spaces between the muscles and skin. Consider it the 'cement' that connects and supports your organs, muscles and joints. Connective tissue is also responsible for the uptake and delivery of oxygen, for getting rid of toxins in wastes and for the thermal insulation of the body. Interesting...

     The production of collagen and elastin is promoted - which are all responsible for the tightness, flexibility and youthfulness of your skin.

 

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A CONNECTIVE TISSUE MASSAGE?

The massage technique is quite similar to a classic, Swedish massage: slow strokes are combined with pressure techniques are applied on the arms, back, leg and foot area. What's more? Muscles are warmed up and underlying muscle adhesions are reduced with this therapeutic massage. Muscle adhesions occur when cell walls are hardly able to take up nutrients. Massaging the connective tissue increases blood circulation. This firm massage is great for anyone who enjoys a strong massage as it's an invigorating massage for both body and mind. But there's more! With a connective tissue massage the cells of connective (which include fibroblasts) are stimulated to renew. The production of collagen and elastin is promoted - which are all responsible for the tightness, flexibility and youthfulness of your skin. So a connective tissue massage is also perfectly suitable for anyone who wants to get rid of cellulite on the leg area or who would like to reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
