Not everyone benefits from a connective tissue massage. That’s why at The Physio Man we discuss the symptoms during a physical therapy treatment and see if a connective tissue massage is the solution.
What is connective tissue?
Connective tissue is elastic tissue that protects your organs. It also supports blood vessels, nerves and muscles For example, bones, cartilage and fatty tissue are types of connective tissue that protect you. Connective tissue plays an important role in:
- transporting oxygen, nutrients and waste products
- the energy storage
- immune system
- wound healing
- skin elasticity
- the thermal insulation
What is a connective tissue massage?
A connective tissue massage is a massage technique that targets adhesions in the muscles, tendons and joints. These adhesions are caused by chronic muscle tension or injury. During a connective tissue massage, we exert pressure on the body, bringing muscles back into their natural place and reducing tension. This dissolves adhesions and releases pent-up waste. We recommend that our clients drink plenty of water in the days following a connective tissue massage.

Health insurance connective tissue massage
The cost of connective tissue massage is not covered by basic health insurance. With additional coverage, such as alternative medicine, it is possible to have the costs reimbursed. Check with your insurer first! The conditions may also differ between health insurers, so pay attention to this. Several health insurers only reimburse the cost of a connective tissue massage if the treatment is performed by a doctor. It is also wise to ask about a maximum amount or a maximum number of treatments that will be reimbursed.
