Massage is one of the oldest and most effective therapeutic methods that helps reduce tension, muscle stiffness, improve circulation and relax the body and mind. At Terme Selce, massages are tailored to the specific needs of each patient, whether it is relaxation, rehabilitation or pain relief. Different types of massages are used to achieve the best possible effectiveness in therapy, and include:

1. Medical/Swedish massage: Used to relieve muscle and joint pain, relax tense muscles and improve circulation. Swedish massage uses longer, stroking movements to relax the entire body.
2. Sports massage: Intended for athletes or people with intense physical activity. Helps recover from exertion, prevent injuries, and improves flexibility and circulation.
3. Anti-cellulite massage: Using specific techniques, it improves circulation, reduces fluid retention and the accumulation of fat deposits, which contributes to the reduction of cellulite and skin tone.
4. Aroma massage: Using essential oils, aroma massage provides relaxation, reduces stress, and promotes revitalization of the body and mind. This massage is used for mental and physical relaxation, and has a calming effect.
5. Hot-stone massage: Heated volcanic stones are used to deeply work on the muscles, reducing tension, increasing blood flow, and allowing for deep relaxation.
6. Shiatsu and Tui-na massages: Based on traditional Asian techniques, these massages use pressure on the body's energy points to stimulate balance, improve energy flow, and promote bodily harmony.
7. Brushing massages: This technique uses specialized brushes to stimulate the skin and lymphatic system, improving circulation and toning the skin.
