What does Trockenmassage mean?
The dry massage is a massage technique performed without the use of oils or lotions. Instead, gentle to firm stroking, kneading, and tapping techniques are applied directly to dry skin. This method stimulates circulation, promotes skin elasticity, and can help relieve tension.
Dry massage is particularly well-known in the form of dry brushing or as a full-body massage to stimulate metabolism and lymphatic flow. It can be performed using hands or special massage tools such as brushes or rollers.
Dry massage is excellent for skin firming, muscle activation, and as a preparation for other massage treatments. It is often used in the morning to boost circulation or after exercise to relax muscles.
