Massage in the Sauna

Massage in the Sauna

Massage in the sauna is a special technique performed in a steam room, which enhances its therapeutic effect. The main benefits of such a massage include:

  1. Improved Blood Circulation: Heat and steam help to dilate blood vessels, improving blood circulation and oxygen supply to tissues.
  2. Muscle Relaxation: The high temperature in the steam room helps to relax muscles, making the massage more effective.
  3. Detoxification: Steam helps to open pores, promoting the elimination of toxins from the body.
  4. Stress Relief: The combination of heat, steam, and massage helps to reduce stress levels and improve overall well-being.
  5. Skin Improvement: Steam aids in cleansing the skin, and massage helps to improve its tone and elasticity.

Types of massage in the sauna may include:

  • Classic Massage: A general full-body massage aimed at relaxation and improving well-being.
  • Aromatherapy: The use of essential oils to enhance the relaxing effect.
  • Birch Whisk Massage: Using birch, oak, or eucalyptus whisks to enhance blood circulation and relieve muscle tension.

The procedure usually begins with warming up the body in the steam room, followed by the massage itself, and ending with rest and cooling the body in a pool or under a cold shower.
