01
The term
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.
In a nutshell
Targeted stimulation of the periosteum
Enhances circulation and is traditionally used for pain relief
What is the periosteum referred to in periosteal massage?
The periosteum is the tissue layer covering the outer surface of bone, with a rich supply of nerves and blood vessels. Periosteal massage applies targeted pressure at suitable accessible areas. It therefore addresses a different structure from muscle kneading.
Is periosteal massage a self-massage technique?
Periosteal massage is a specialised therapeutic method in which precise site selection and pressure control matter. It is not a reason to press hard at random on painful bony areas. Its use requires professional assessment and appropriately trained hands.
