Spanish body massage. Gentle dance of fingers...


With age, the youth of the face noticeably fades, and without special therapeutic procedures it is impossible to delay its flowering. With proper care, your beauty will last for decades, and a Spanish facial massage, which will be discussed in this material, can contribute to this.

Due to its radical nature, plastic surgery is more popular than therapeutic methods. But surgery always has a negative effect on the body. Botox is no less harmful than surgery because it is perceived by the body as a foreign substance. It is easier and healthier to achieve skin tightening in a more natural way.

Chiromassage, combining Western and Eastern practices, has an unprecedented effect due to the combination of physical and energetic effects.

Spanish facial massage is limited to the area of ​​influence on the body and is aimed purely at specific areas. If the massage therapist’s movements during a general massage are dispersed throughout the body, in this case the face and neck are massaged, and sometimes the décolleté area.

During the session, cosmetic products aimed at direct contact with the skin are extremely rarely used. Only light relaxing music, incense or aromatic oils. The duration of one visit lasts from 60 to 90 minutes.

Indications for a course of health sessions

Physiotherapy of this kind solves problems of an aesthetic nature and improves overall health, actively influencing metabolic processes. Metabolism unites the work of all systems in the human body, and its activation does not go unnoticed.

Types of Spanish facial massage

The creator of the complex has always placed special emphasis on the fact that the patient feels only relaxation, delight and pleasure during the massage. Being a physician, the author of the technique, Enrique Garcia, tried to provoke the production of endorphin ━ the hormone of happiness, which ensures the maximum effectiveness of this healing and rejuvenating procedure.

The whole secret lies in the individual approach and variety of techniques used.

Myostructural or myotensive massage

Strengthens the elasticity of muscles, including those at the junction with joints. Stroking movements relax the facial muscles, and the massage therapist’s fingertips carefully work out all the muscular organs of the face, of which there are a lot.

Somatoemotional massage

Trains the nervous system. The essence of the technique lies in the contrast of sensations received by the patient. Sudden harsh impacts on some sensitive areas alternate with leisurely soothing strokes. The master additionally uses fabric, smooth stones, threads, and feathers.

Lymphatic drainage massage

The purpose of the technique is to accelerate the removal of tissue fluid, which releases cellular decay products, toxins and waste from the body. Metabolism is stimulated, the regenerative properties of the skin are increased.

Hemolymphatic massage

Strengthens the vascular system and improves blood circulation, which has a positive effect on metabolism and stabilizes blood pressure. The techniques and techniques of this type of massage are designed to influence the movement of lymph and venous blood, the regulation of which improves tissue metabolism and slows down skin aging.

Neurosedative massage

Acupuncture uses specific areas of the brain. Gently but effectively relieves apathy, stress and irritability, and stabilizes sleep. At the physical level, rebirth occurs, since the technique provokes sensations of the intrauterine state, which the body of each person remembers. Read more in the article: “Neurosedative massage.”

Pilar Correcher technique

Shape-correcting technique for deep treatment of the facial muscles, neck and décolleté. Eliminates hypertonicity, increases tissue elasticity, promotes enhanced cell restoration, activates the production of collagen and elastin. The skin is saturated with oxygen and nutrients. There is an impact on the circulatory and lymphatic drainage systems located in the epidermis.

The procedure lasts a little more than half an hour, taking into account the mandatory use of an alginate mask. The mask is necessary as a fixation of the muscular frame developed by massage. The minimum course consists of 6-8 procedures.

Massage movements of a competent specialist should not cause pain.

The same techniques are used in general Spanish massage. You can learn more about his techniques here.

Rules of application

Before deciding on a course of therapeutic massage, you should definitely consult with your doctor. You cannot “prescribe” such treatment for yourself. If used incorrectly, even massage can cause significant harm to the body.

The second rule concerns the duration of treatment. One massage session, even from the most highly qualified specialist, cannot bring the expected benefits. Illnesses and pain cannot disappear instantly. For this reason, real therapeutic massage is always prescribed in courses (10-15 procedures).

The number and frequency of sessions is determined by the doctor. It is imperative to follow his recommendations. In some cases, daily massage is required, in others - with breaks of 2-3 days. If the problem is severe enough, treatment may take several weeks.

Consultation with a doctor is also necessary because each patient requires an individual approach. There is no general treatment plan for everyone. When prescribing a course of therapeutic massage, the doctor takes into account the age, health status and specific disease of the patient.

Principles of Spanish facial massage

It is impossible to simply learn Spanish massage at home by watching a master class. This is learned over the years from different masters. Even test practice is possible only after acquiring a high level of theoretical training. All this is due to the profound effect on the facial muscles and skeletal system, which, if the process is neglected, will have a negative impact on the patient.

A competent massage solves almost any aesthetic imperfections of the facial skin. The choice of creams, oils and other excipients is strictly individual, based on the characteristics of the patient’s body. The effect is visible after the first session.

Most techniques start with a warm-up, but not Spanish. The principle of the technique is gradual but deep relaxation. The intensity of the impact increases slowly, in a circular motion, replacing the pads of the fingers with the palm. The movements are fluid, plastic, fluttering, reminiscent of dance. Sudden impulse gestures are subtle but effective.

Hypnotic music practically puts you into a trance, contributing to the process.

Experts recommend up to 3 procedures per week, stretching the course, which can be done no more than 2 times a year. Most often, massage therapy is prescribed by a cosmetologist, but often the initiative comes from the patients themselves. A dermatologist can also give this kind of referral in addition to a course of medication to improve the condition of the skin (vitamins, medicinal creams).

A short lesson on this type of facial massage and a description of the technique used can be gleaned from the video. Full training, of course, is impossible from a video lesson (only an experienced specialist can teach this in person), but you will at least learn what Spanish facial chiromassage is like from the point of view of a master.

The emergence of the technique

Its author is the head of the Inmaster school of manual therapy, Vincente Ferrandis Garcia. The legendary Spanish massage therapist offered the world an alternative to standard Western techniques, combining the best massage techniques of Europe and the East.

The author explained his discovery simply: “Having traveled the planet, studied different methods of massaging, I took the best from them and combined them. Figuratively speaking, I help to enter the human body through four doors: the lymphatic, circulatory systems, his muscles and joints. By opening the right door at the right moment, you can help a person relax and recover.”

Garcia's techniques have gained popularity in America and Europe and are called “Spanish massage” here. Some experts compare the work of a massage therapist to a smooth oriental dance. Movements are always selected strictly individually and are not repeated from patient to patient.

Preparation for the procedure

When visiting a massage parlor for the first time, you may not know some of the nuances that are worth considering.

Before the procedure, all cosmetics are removed from the face with a special gentle product and peeling is performed. The skin must be freed from sebaceous deposits and banal contaminants such as dust, so you should not apply heavy makeup before the procedure.

After this, pre-selected oil or cream is applied. It is highly undesirable to massage the delicate skin of the face without additional products, because it is easy to injure. Through open, cleansed pores, the skin additionally receives nutrition from cosmetic products.

The first touches are always relaxing, stroking, then they smoothly turn into circular massage movements. What follows is a combination of practices selected specifically for a particular case.

The cost of the procedure depends entirely on the level of skill of the massage therapist, equipment and reputation of the salon you contacted. At the prices of the capital, the price per session on average varies from 1,000 to 5,000 rubles.

Complications

Anti-stress massage has the most gentle and physiological effect on the body, so there are practically no unwanted consequences. At the end of the session, clients feel slight drowsiness and weakness, which indicates the correct implementation of neurosedative techniques. If the specialist is insufficiently qualified, complications may occur:

  • Exciting effect on the central nervous system
    . Inexperienced massage therapists may use too intense mechanical stimulation of tissues or perform movements at a fast pace. As a result, instead of relaxation, activation of the nervous system is observed.
  • Allergic reactions
    . It is extremely rare to experience an allergy to massage oils that improve hand gliding when performing neurosedative manual techniques. Idiosyncrasy is manifested by itching and redness of the skin, lacrimation, and serous discharge from the nose.

Results and effectiveness of Spanish technology

All patients, without exception, who have completed a full course with competent specialists, leave exclusively positive reviews.

  • the “double chin” disappears;
  • pulls himself up. the contour of the upper eyelid improves;
  • sagging skin is eliminated;
  • deep wrinkles are smoothed out and small ones disappear;

In addition to the visible results, the procedure helps to improve the psychosomatic state: fatigue is relieved, a positive emotional background increases, and stress goes away. The skin seems refreshed, and the general condition is like that of a well-rested person.

Performing a Spanish facial massage at home

Only with full knowledge of the theory or through a thorough study of the methodology, you can conduct a session at home yourself. When practicing for the first time, be extremely careful. Later, after gaining some experience, act more confidently. This way your body will receive minimal harm.

Any irritation, discomfort or redness that occurs are clear signs of improper massage. You should immediately interrupt the procedure and consult a doctor.

Maintain good hygiene before and after practice. Wash your face and hands. Select cosmetic products at your own discretion. If your skin type is unknown to you, contact a cosmetologist for advice.

But remember: achieving maximum effect from a home procedure is much more difficult than from a salon procedure.
