Kobido massage with taping

What does the treatment consist of? 

Kobido massage is based on alternating fast and slow movements of the hands; it includes patting, tapping and pinching. It is an intense massage that requires the specialized skills and knowledge of a physiotherapist.

Stages of massage:

• Muscle relaxation, relaxation - calm, gentle movements designed to induce a state of relaxation. 
• Manual lifting - stronger, faster movements with skin kneading and pinching. This stage is designed to stimulate blood microcirculation and the production of collagen and elastin by the skin. 
• Lymphatic drainage - slow, circular movements performed according to the direction of lymph flow toward the heart. Lymphatic drainage reduces swelling and promotes the removal of toxins and impurities. 
• Acupressure - applying pressure to specific points on the face. 

After the massage, facial taping, or patching, is performed to enhance its results. It involves taping the face with special tapes that tighten the skin and stimulate the lymphatic system.
