Therapeutic massage in Batel, Curitiba

The session

The session starts from what you tell me

There's no fixed sequence here. I listen to where it hurts, for how long and what makes it worse, and build the session from that, combining the techniques I'm trained in. It may include myofascial release, shiatsu pressure or cupping, depending on what your body needs that day.

Excellent professional, super attentive, with very light hands, perfect for a relaxing massage. She pressed the key points of my body that were hurting. For me it was wonderful, I left feeling lighter and pain free.

Step by step

Your session, from start to finish

I listen first

Where it hurts, for how long, what makes it worse and what you've already tried. This conversation runs longer than with the other techniques, and it's what shapes the session.

The right technique on the right spot

I combine whatever is needed, pressure, myofascial release or cupping. I follow how your body responds, with no fixed script.

I tell you what I found

At the end I tell you what was locked up and what helps keep it from coming back, including what to do at home.

What it's for

What therapeutic massage solves

It's for when you can point with your finger to where it hurts, and that pain is already changing the way you move.

  • Persistent pain, the kind that comes back every week and you've learned to live with.
  • Tension points, those knots that hurt when someone touches them.
  • Everyday discomfort, a stiff neck from the computer, a sore lower back from driving a lot.
  • Limited movement, when turning your neck or raising your arm already bothers you.
Being straight with you

When I recommend something else

I'd rather tell you this before you pay for a session that won't work for you.

Therapeutic massage is for you if
  • You can point to where it hurts
  • The pain is already getting in the way of movement or sleep
  • You've tried relaxing massage and it didn't fix that spot
  • You prefer a session built around your case
Then I'll point you another way
  • If you just want to relax and have no specific pain, a relaxing massage does that better
  • If the pain came on suddenly, is very strong, or came with fever, swelling or tingling, see a doctor before booking with me
  • If you have a diagnosis or are in treatment, tell me first so I can adjust the session to what your doctor advised

Frequently asked questions

Most asked questions about therapeutic massage

If your question isn't here, send it on WhatsApp and I'll answer before you book.

Is massage therapy the same as physical therapy?

No. Physical therapists and massage therapists are different professions. A physical therapist treats more serious injuries, having studied anatomy in more depth. In therapeutic massage I use a bit of relaxing massage and myofascial release to loosen trigger points, which are knots of tension, and release the muscles.

How many sessions for long-standing pain?

For pain you've had for a long time, the ideal is at least two sessions a week. That's what gives the most satisfying results.

Does therapeutic massage hurt?

The pressure goes right on the spot that hurts, so there's some discomfort that most people describe as relief. I adjust the pressure with you throughout the whole session, and you should tell me right away if it's too much.

Do I need a doctor's referral?

No. If you have a diagnosis or are in treatment, tell me first so I can adjust the session to what your doctor advised. And if the pain came on suddenly, is very strong, or came with fever, swelling or tingling, see a doctor before booking with me.

Can I combine more than one technique in the same session?

Yes, and that's how it works here. There's no fixed sequence. It can include myofascial release, shiatsu pressure or cupping, depending on what your body needs that day.

How do you decide what to do in the session?

I listen to where it hurts, how long it's been, and what makes it worse, and I build the session from there, combining the techniques I'm trained in.
