What is the procedure of a medical massage at Origin Massage St. Gallen?
Your treatment session begins with an initial consultation lasting approximately 5 to 20 minutes. During this time, your therapist gathers essential information regarding your symptoms, concerns, and treatment goals to customize the session accordingly.
Afterward, you can take your time to comfortably change and position yourself on the massage table.
The subsequent treatment is individually tailored based on the initial conversation. Throughout the massage, your therapist remains available for questions or feedback, ensuring continuous adjustments and optimal results.
At the end of your session, you can schedule follow-up appointments if needed to achieve sustained improvement.
How many treatments are typically required?
Generally, between 1 and 6 treatments are necessary to achieve satisfactory results. The exact number depends significantly on your specific condition. If no noticeable improvement occurs after three sessions, we recommend a reevaluation, possibly with another therapist, to address your concerns more effectively.
Difference between Classical and Medical Massage
Medical massage primarily focuses on the targeted treatment of specific health issues and chronic pain. It is often used for rehabilitation after injuries or surgeries.
In contrast, classical massage mainly aims at general relaxation and muscle tension relief, particularly in the shoulders, back, neck, or legs. It promotes overall well-being and can also complement medical massage when therapeutically appropriate.
Duration & Booking
A medical massage at Origin Massage St. Gallen typically lasts between 45 and 75 minutes. The precise duration depends on your individual goals and needs. If you have any questions or uncertainties, feel free to contact us by phone at +41 (0) 44 500 02 53 or via email at info@origin-massage.ch.
