The methods of the medical massager include a natural therapeutic approach based on the art of touch. The different types of massage that compose it are tools that can treat many ailments. The whole body can receive massages. From head to toe, each zone has its own specificities and virtues. A complete massage is the most indicated to benefit from all its benefits.
