What does Periostmassage mean?
Periosteal massage is a specialized technique that targets the periosteum (bone membrane) to enhance circulation and relieve pain. By applying deep, focused pressure to specific bone areas, reflexes are triggered that positively affect the nervous system and relax surrounding tissues.
This massage technique is commonly used for chronic pain, tension, and degenerative musculoskeletal conditions. It can aid in the healing process of injuries and improve mobility.
Periosteal massage requires precise application and should only be performed by trained therapists. It is widely used in physiotherapy and pain management to directly address pain points.
