Classic massage therapy (KMT) is a physiotherapeutic treatment method used to loosen tight muscles and improve circulation.
Through targeted techniques such as stroking, kneading, or pressure techniques, muscle knots are released and tissue is relaxed.
The treatment is frequently used for back pain, neck tension, or muscular overuse.

Classic massage therapy is particularly suitable for:
Tension in the neck, shoulder, and back area
Back pain caused by poor posture or prolonged sitting
muscular discomfort in daily life or at work
Muscle knots and trigger points
Overuse injuries from sports
Muscle recovery after physical exertion
The treatment aims to:
loosen tight muscles
promote tissue circulation
reduce pain
to improve mobility
to support muscular recovery
This helps to alleviate discomfort and improve muscle resilience in everyday life and during sports.
