The legs are the foundation of our body, they carry the weight, and any problem in them can affect the rest, and therefore they must be pampered.
Not only if you work standing for 8 hours or have walked the Camino de Santiago. Even if you work comfortably in a chair all day, a good circulatory massage of the legs and feet is always beneficial to keep them healthy. You can add this massage to a back massage, even if it is of shorter duration.
In the massage for tired legs, we do draining to eliminate excess accumulated fluids and a circulatory massage. If there are tensions, we use more force, and it is in the legs where we apply more stretching. You will leave our clinic feeling like you are flying.
