Therapeutic (classic) massage is hands-on work on the muscles and soft tissues that helps relax tense muscles, e.g. in the neck, back or legs. Relaxation massages are for unwinding and are not a substitute for therapy. At our clinic in Rydułtowy a partial massage costs 110 PLN and a full-body massage 190 PLN. We do not perform massage when you have, among other things, a fever, thrombosis or skin lesions in the treatment area.
Below you will find the types of massage with prices, the differences between therapeutic and relaxation massage, and situations in which massage needs to be postponed.

Relaxation massage and hot stone massage are time for rest and unwinding — we do not treat them as therapy and do not attribute any health effects to them. If you have pain, start with a consultation or a classic massage. For swelling, see lymphatic drainage.

Which conditions do we use therapeutic massage for?
Questions about massage
Massage or manual therapy — which to choose for back pain?
With recurring or severe back pain it is usually better to start with a consultation or manual therapy, as it includes an examination, work on the joints and exercises. Classic massage relaxes tense muscles and is sometimes used alongside therapy. If the problem is mainly tiredness and tension after work, a massage is enough.
How should I prepare for a massage?
Don’t come straight after a large meal. Wear comfortable clothes, and leave jewellery from the massage area at home or take it off before the treatment. Tell the physiotherapist about any illnesses, pregnancy, medication you take and allergies to oils or cosmetics — this determines the choice of massage and products.
How does Breuss massage differ from a back massage?
Breuss massage is gentle work along the spine with St John’s wort oil, done with calm, flowing movements. A back massage is a classic massage, with firmer pressure and kneading of tense back muscles. Breuss massage is usually chosen for relaxation, and classic massage for muscle tension and overload.
Can a relaxation massage be given as a gift?
Yes. A gift voucher can be bought for any amount, and the recipient can use it for a relaxation massage, a hot stone massage or any other treatment we offer. The voucher is valid for 3 months from the date of purchase. Details and how to buy one are described on the gift voucher page.
