What is the Traditional massage?
The classical massage (also known as Swedish massage) is the world's best-known massage technique. It uses five different manual strokes: effleurage (stroking), petrissage (kneading), friction (rubbing), tapotement (tapping) and vibration to treat the skin, connective tissue and musculature.
Through the direct mechanical stimulation, not only is local tension relieved, but the psyche is also positively influenced. The massage lowers blood pressure, slows the pulse and helps the body to break down stress hormones. At PhysioART, we tailor every treatment individually to your current daily condition and your symptoms.
How to get back to your everyday life
At the beginning of each therapy session, we conduct a brief consultation to understand your symptoms and needs. Based on this, we will see whether a classical massage is the appropriate treatment for you.
- Personal needs assessment
Before the massage, we will briefly discuss where your current problem areas are (e.g. the shoulder and neck area or lower back) in order to set the right focus. - Soothing treatment
In a peaceful atmosphere, we apply the classic massage techniques. In doing so, we release adhesions in the tissue and promote the circulation in your muscles so that pain-causing substances can be removed more quickly. - Post-workout rest and movement tips
After the massage you will have time to reflect briefly. We will give you simple exercises or tips to take away for everyday life, so that the relief lasts as long as possible.
Assumption of costs the health insurance company
-
- Check supplementary insurance: Classical massage is a recognised method of preventative healthcare and is covered by almost all Swiss supplementary health insurance policies (VVG).

- Submit invoice: After the treatment, you will receive a detailed invoice that you can easily submit to your health insurance company.

Frequently asked questions about the classical massage
Definitely. The gentle touches release endorphins, which boost overall well-being and help to relieve mental tension.
As a preventative measure, a massage every 2 to 4 weeks is ideal. For acute tension, a shorter interval is recommended at first to effectively loosen the muscles.
The classical massage at PhysioART is a medically founded therapy. We know the anatomy precisely and work purposefully on functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system, rather than just stroking the surface.
Of course! Many of our clients use the classic massage as regular «me-time» and for the prevention of tension.
