Breuss Spinal Massage
Discover Gentle Realignment with Breuss Spinal Massage.
A deeply soothing and gentle yet potent massage technique designed to stretch, nourish, and re-energise your back safely. Ideal for those seeking relief from spinal tension or simply looking to nurture their spine’s health, this unique massage focuses on the intervertebral discs, promoting their regeneration and addressing energetic blockages.
What to expect in a Breuss Spinal Massage
Your Breuss Spinal Massage is designed to be a deeply relaxing and restorative experience, focusing entirely on your back and spine. Here’s a general idea of what the session will involve:
-
Gentle, Rhythmic Strokes: The core of the Breuss Massage involves a series of very gentle, slow, and rhythmic stretching and stroking movements, primarily along the length of the spine. Unlike deep tissue massages, the pressure is light and never forceful. The therapist will use their forearms, hands and fingers to:
- Longitudinal Stretching: Perform gentle pulls and stretches along the spine to help create space between the vertebrae.
- Specific Disc Nourishing Techniques: Employ light, targeted movements around each vertebra, aiming to encourage the intervertebral discs to absorb the oil and decompress.
- Soothing Effleurage: Use flowing strokes to promote relaxation and blood flow throughout the back muscles
What does a Breuss Spinal Massage Feel Like?
It’s a common question that can only really by answered by experiencing the treatment itself but here are some common descriptions.
Focus on Relaxation and Energy Flow
The massage is performed in a calm, unhurried manner. The gentle, repetitive movements are designed to induce deep relaxation, calm the nervous system, and release emotional or energetic blockages that may be contributing to back tension. You might feel a sense of warmth spreading through your back.
Paper and Stretching Sequence
A unique part of the Breuss Massage often involves laying a sheet of thin silk or tissue paper over the oiled back. The therapist then performs specific stroking techniques over the paper. This is believed to help draw out toxins and further energise the spine. Following this, there might be further gentle stretching or magnetising strokes to complete the energy work.
Deep Sense of Release
Throughout the massage, the focus is on allowing your spine to gently stretch and realign naturally. Many people report feeling a subtle lengthening in their back, a release of tension they might not have been aware of, and a profound sense of calm. It’s not uncommon to drift off into a light sleep due to the deep relaxation.
