Varieties and techniques

For the procedure of modeling a massage figure, 4 techniques are used: stroking, vibration, rubbing, kneading.

Execution technique	Effects on the body	Massage Techniques
Stroking	The technique is used at the beginning and end of the procedure. As a result of its use, keratinous scales are removed from the skin surface, the work of the sebaceous glands, skin respiration, and circulatory system are normalized. The skin becomes firm, supple, swelling is eliminated.	Stroking is performed by soft, sliding movements along the veins and lymph vessels. With existing edema, massage begins from the highest point – this accelerates the outflow of fluid. First, stroking should be superficial, and then deep, to warm the muscles.
Vibration	Exposure to vibration gives an anti-inflammatory, tonic, analgesic effect. Irritation of nerve endings by this technique, performed by fingers, fists, back of the palm, regulates their excitability, which helps improve the functioning of the nervous, lymphatic, and circulatory systems.	During processing of the problem area with vibrating movements (patting, striking, chopping), the intensity gradually increases. Due to this, fatty deposits, cellulite are broken.
Trituration	The rubbing technique improves blood circulation, eliminates edema, reduces pain, increases muscle tone, prepares the body for kneading.	The movements are carried out by the edge of the hand, fingers, the supporting part of the brush in different directions: zigzag, longitudinal, circular, spiral.
Kneading	In a sculpting massage, the kneading technique most effectively affects the muscles, increasing their elasticity, contractile function. Improving blood and lymph circulation of the massaged surface accelerates metabolism, tissue nutrition.	Kneading includes a number of techniques that the masseur chooses at his discretion: tingling; wallow; shift pressure; kneading with the base of the palm; kneading with thumbs.

In the process of developing the health and beauty industry, specific massage techniques have been developed:

1. Kosh technique . A rather painful procedure performed exclusively in salons. Talc is applied to the problem area and rubbed with warming movements. Next, the masseur nibbles, twists, stretches the skin, increasing the load, which contributes to the breakdown of fat. The procedure is performed in the direction from the legs to the head. After the procedure, 5 minutes you need to lie down so as not to overload the body.
   
2. Modeling sculptural massage is also performed only by specialists. The impact does not occur on the whole body, but only on the problem area, which makes it more effective. Stages of the procedure: stroking, rubbing, kneading. After the massage, rest time is 15 minutes.
3. Sculpting facial massage helps to get rid of wrinkles, tighten the skin. The techniques of stroking, rubbing, kneading, grabbing are used.
4. Massage J. Siocco involves cleansing the skin, rubbing with talcum powder, massaging the neckline with an upward movement, ending in the scalp. The skin is worked out by grips, sliding, pressing, rolling.
5. Massage A. Grebennikova does not cause pain. Only problem areas are being worked out. In addition to the basic execution techniques, there are wraps, the use of creams, gels and aromatherapy.

Sculpting massage for the body is an effect on each muscle, which leads to the activation of its work and muscle building. At the same time, the breakdown of adipose tissue and fluid reduces the volume of deposits in problem areas.

The course of massage for women depends on the menstrual cycle: 2 weeks after menstruation, the masseur is engaged in “loosening” of subcutaneous fat, and the next 2 weeks – crushes problem areas, “pushing” toxins to the lymph nodes, from where they will be removed from the body.

To enhance the effect, visits to saunas, the use of anti-cellulite products and hot wraps, and diet are prescribed in parallel with the massage.

The masseur, d
epending on the individual problems of each client (cellulite, obesity, an increase in muscle volume) paints a schedule of procedures. On average, the course lasts a month, 2 times a week.
