Medical Massage Basel

Our experienced therapists offer you targeted and effective treatments, individually tailored to your complaints. Put your trust in our expertise!

At the beginning of each massage, we have a brief discussion to understand your complaints and needs. Based on this, we choose the right technique to specifically address your individual requirements and relax your muscles.

Classical massage

We use targeted grip techniques to release tension and promote blood circulation. Your muscles are loosened and metabolic products are better removed - for greater well-being and relaxation.

Trigger point therapy

Connective tissue massage

This special technique works on the skin, fascia and muscles. It harmonises the autonomic nervous system and has a profound effect on the entire tissue.

Lymphatic drainage

A gentle technique to promote lymph flow. It helps with swelling, stimulates the metabolism and supports the detoxification of your body.

Cupping massage

This traditional method combines massage with the suction effect of special cupping glasses. The vacuum promotes blood circulation, loosens adhesions in the tissue and stimulates the metabolism. Cupping massage is particularly suitable for treating tension, circulatory disorders and muscular pain.

Treatment with us involves several steps that are individually tailored to your needs:

  1. Personal preliminary talk:
    You tell us about your complaints and goals. Together we will discuss your health history in order to find the best massage technique for you.
  2. Examination of the pain site:
    We specifically analyse the affected areas to identify tension, pain or other abnormalities. This is done directly in our practice in Basel.
  3. Personalised massage:
    The treatment is tailored precisely to your needs. We adapt the intensity and technique - from gentle to deeply effective, depending on the aim of the therapy.
  4. Debriefing and tips:
    After the massage, you will receive recommendations, e.g. on stretching exercises or everyday tips that will support the success of the therapy in the long term.
