Bio-massage

Bio-massage is a modern physiotherapy procedure worked through a special device and gloves that act on the body's energy pathways and points. The method combines the old rules of eastern medicine with electrical impulses — one of the few treatments that brings the movement of hand massage and the action of a device together in one session.

How bio-massage is given: device and gloves

The therapist puts on the special gloves and, once the device is switched on, works with ordinary massage strokes; the impulse passes into the skin through the gloves. The guest notes a light vibration or tingling — there should be no pain. The strength of the impulse is set to the guest's tolerance and can be changed during the session.

How bio-massage acts on pain and tension

The electrical impulse stimulates muscle fibre and nerve endings while the massage strokes work the tissue mechanically. Bringing those two effects together is the central logic of the procedure:

Impulse and massage strokes working together

• Less muscle tension and spasm
• Relief of pain around the spine and joints
• Better blood and lymph circulation
• Less stress and nervous tension
• Improvement in fatigue and sleep disturbance
• Stimulation of recovery during rehabilitation

Pacemakers and other contraindications

Bio-massage is not used with a pacemaker, serious heart rhythm disorders, in pregnancy, with epilepsy or where the skin is damaged — all clarified at the examination on arrival. Metal implants are assessed separately. The procedure is not a naftalan treatment, but it can run alongside a naftalan course.

Bio-massage in Naftalan — Sun City Hotel & Spa

Bio-massage is given in the hotel's treatment and spa area. Some guests choose it as an alternative to classic massage — particularly those who find deep pressure hard to take, since here part of the work is done by the impulse.
