#self-massage

• Self-massage — A therapeutic or relaxation technique consisting of the manual application, by an individual onto their own body, of specific massage maneuvers (friction, kneading, pressure, tapping). Frequently used in sports medical recovery, stress management, and reflexology, this self-care procedure helps stimulate local blood circulation, release muscle tension, reduce pain caused by contractures, and accelerate lymphatic drainage without the assistance of a professional masseur.
