Massage
Give yourself a break!
«You can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs» – everyone knows this saying. It applies to athletes as well as office workers. If the body is subjected to one-sided and intensive strain, it also needs phases of regeneration. If you don’t allow your body any rest or time to adjust, it’s only a matter of time before you overburden it. A lot can be done in terms of preventional work. However, there is still the possibility of injury, particularly due to external influences such as the impact of opponents during competition. At Personalworkout, we have experts for training AND therapy in our team. Together we are more efficient and save valuable time on the way back to a pain-free daily life, sport and/or competition.

Massage
The classic massage is the most traditional and most frequently used form of massage. It mainly addresses the stresses of everyday life. During the classic massage, the body undergoes a «kneading» by the physiotherapeutic professional. You can choose between a full body massage and a partial massage (targeted treatment of regions related to the complaints).
A massage can also be used as a preventative measure against muscular tension, for example in the case of physical malpositions. The classic massage has a relaxing effect and is individually adapted to the needs of the client. It is also an excellent way to relieve everyday stress, regenerate the body and recharge your batteries.
As a rule, no technical aids are used in this form of massage. Only the hands are used on the body, so that the classic massage can be classified as a direct massage.
Foot reflexology
Foot reflexology is an alternative treatment method that can support and complement conventional medical procedures. The reflex zones on the foot reflect all organs and areas of the human body. Special manual techniques can positively influence and rebalance functional disorders. Reflexology can have a particularly positive effect on pain therapy and circulatory disorders. Foot reflexology has a generally harmonising effect.
Foot reflexology massage is used for:
- Organ disorders
- Psychosomatic complaints
- Strengthening the immune system
- Relaxation and well-being
Connective tissue massage
Connective tissue massage is a reflexive method in which the vegetative nervous system and internal organs are influenced by traction stimuli on the connective tissue. The aim is to achieve vegetative harmonisation.
Connective tissue massage works with skin, subcutaneous tissue and fascia techniques. It is an alternative medical form of massage.
Connective tissue massage can have a positive effect on the following conditions:
- General circulatory disorders
- Weak connective tissue / adhesions
- Organ diseases (digestive problems, bronchitis, asthma, liver and gallbladder diseases, etc.)
- Neurological disorders (Parkinson’s disease, headaches, psychosomatic syndromes, etc.)
- Hormonal disorders (menstrual problems, premenstrual syndrome)
Lymphatic drainage
Special hand movements create a slow and gentle deformation of the tissue. This enables a manual transfer of tissue fluid along the tissue pathways, including the lymph vessels. Manual lymphatic drainage is a variation of complex physical decongestive therapy (CPD).
In contrast to conventional massage, manual lymph drainage uses a specific grip technique. Manual lymph drainage is used especially after operations, tumour treatments and lymph node removals.
Manual lymphatic drainage is used for:
- Oedema (congestion of tissue fluid)
- Post-operative / post-traumatic oedema (haematoma, sprain, dislocation, muscle fibre tear, fracture, lymph node removal, scar etc.)
- For heavy legs
- For general detoxification

FAQS
What is meant by medical massage?
The primary focus of a medical massage is on pain relief and improving the patient’s mobility. Another key aspect of this therapeutic form of massage, which can only be performed by trained professionals, is to optimally support the healing process of the affected body part after an injury or surgery.
Who prescribes a medical massage?
A prescription for a medical massage, which can be covered by health insurance, is issued by your general practitioner or a relevant specialist if muscular or joint-related issues have been diagnosed. A typical prescription includes 7 to 10 sessions, which can be carried out by any certified physiotherapist. The individual treatment duration depends on the progress made and may take a longer period accordingly.
Is a massage covered by health insurance?
In Switzerland, the compulsory basic insurance covers the costs of massage therapy only if it is deemed necessary by the general practitioner or specialist within the context of a physiotherapy treatment. By obtaining supplementary insurance, partial or full coverage of the costs can be achieved, depending on the health insurance provider and plan, even if there is no indication from the general practitioner or specialist.
How often are medical massages useful?
The frequency of medical massages is determined by the treating physician based on the individual diagnosis and the intensity of the symptoms. Initially, several sessions at short intervals are usually beneficial to alleviate acute pain. With successful progress, the frequency of sessions is typically gradually reduced in consultation with the treating doctor or therapist. To promote recovery and prevent relapses, sessions should be continued until full relief from symptoms is achieved.
