Corrective massage technique
In complex body correction programs using non-surgical methods, massage is of paramount importance, accelerating regeneration processes in the body, normalizing lymph flow and blood circulation, and activating lipid metabolism.

It should be noted that with plastic massage the goal is not to lose weight, but to model the harmonious proportions of the body.
Corrective massage has a technique that combines massage movements in a special way. The masseur captures the skin area and the layer of fatty tissue under the skin and makes slightly vibrating, energetic pressures that are directed into the depths of the bodily tissues. A professional massage therapist alternates pressure with stroking and kneading movements, destroying very dense fat deposits inthe most problematic areas - on the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, forearms, lower back, improves muscle tone, eliminates swelling inside tissues.
Already after the first procedures of corrective massage, excess volumes noticeably disappear, the body begins to acquire the desired proportions. The turgor and elasticity of the skin also improves, there is an increase in the tone of the body in general.
Views
Different types of massage differ not only in the specifics of the impact, but also in the means used. Everyone has a common goal: reducing the amount of fat under the skin, stimulating lymphatic drainage and blood circulation.
Manual
Manual corrective massage is one of the most common methods of such an impact, as it allows you to take into account the individual characteristics of a woman. It is done in the areas of the abdomen, back, chest, pelvic limbs. You can alternate exposure to different areas by day. The course will require 15-20 massage sessions in total.

The basis of such manipulation is awareness of the location of the lymph nodes, as well as the direction of the lymph flow. The main actions in such a procedure are pressure andstroking. Lymphatic drainage massage is done once or twice a week, using acupressure, deep or superficial techniques. It is done manually or with the use of appropriate preparations. The course lasts from five to twelve procedures.
Sculpting
With the help of massage, you can adjust the figure, affecting different areas of the body in different ways. The movements of the massage therapist in the sculpting type are aimed at eliminating defects that interfere with the proportionality of the figure. This, for example, asymmetry, "ears" on the hips, the sides are too wide, etc. Such a massage is also used at the initial stage of cellulite, to eliminate excess volume in certain areas of the body.
Other manipulations in the sculpting technique can enhance individual forms by building muscle tissue. This makes it possible to model the figure in general, making it more harmonious. The result is achieved after 8-10 procedures, which are carried out twice a week.
Honey
Corrective body massage against cellulite can be done using honey. To do this, honey is mixed with a small amount of oil, applied to a heated body. Massage is initially based on stroking. Then the hands must be pressed tightly against certain skin areas and sharply torn off. Thanks to this, a warm sensation appears, the breakdown of fat cells begins, toxins are released (including from skin cells). Honey massage is carried out for 15-30 minutes on any area every other day. 20 treatments make up one course.
Canned
If it is necessary to correct the figure, in some cases, vacuum massage can be considered as the most effective. It is also useful for cellulite, you can carry it out on certain parts of the body yourself. This type of massage is done with silicone cups, which create a vacuum and draw the skin areas inside the containers. This stimulates a local increase in body temperature and irritates the receptors. As a result of such exposure, the following are noted:
- strengthening material metabolism, lymph outflow, blood supply;
- resorption of fat cells;
- improvement of the activity of the sebaceous and sweat glands, more active release of toxins.
Cup massage is especially effective in the fight against cellulite.
