Sculpturing Massage

Objective: Correction of some parts of body.

Method: The methods involve conventional massaging techniques and their modifications and newly developed approaches. 295 women age 17-62 participated in the tests carried out from 1997 till 2002. Before proceeding to a curse of the massage, anthropometric measurements are performed. Body parts that need to be corrected are determined. The general massage is performed with the accent on the problem areas. The direction of the effects of the massage (i.e. decreasing subcutaneous fat or increasing muscular volume) depends upon physiological processes at the moment of performing the massage (catabolism, anabolism, process).
