Methameric Massage

Metameric Massage

What is Metameric Massage?

It is an extremely powerful and complex, deep and beneficial treatment, in fact, it is not a simple relaxing or energizing session but a complete reflexology therapy.
Metameric Massage is a particular massage that acts in depth, working with a specific technique on the reflex zones of the nerves that radiate all the internal organs and the different parts of the body.
Specifically, it acts on the metamers – which are bands related to nerve parts of the back – that cross it horizontally and are directly connected to the sympathetic nervous system through the spinal nerves.
