Massage in Opfikon near Zurich
Individual. Holistic. Effective.
Every body is different – that is why I tailor every massage to you individually. Whether you want to release tension, relieve pain or simply switch off: at the practice in Opfikon, you will find the calm you deserve.
Who is massage suitable for?
Massage is for everyone – regardless of age or fitness level. Those who benefit most are people who suffer from tension due to office work, are physically active and want faster recovery, struggle with sleep issues or stress, have chronic back or neck pain, or seek relief during pregnancy.
For chronic headaches, sleep disorders or stress-related complaints, I recommend EMR-certified acupressure as a complement – costs are covered by health insurance.
Massage Techniques
In every session, I combine techniques to suit your needs. Here are the key methods.
Relaxation Massage
Gentle, flowing strokes for deep relaxation and stress relief. Stimulates the parasympathetic system and lowers cortisol levels.
Deep Tissue Massage
Intensive pressure techniques release deep-seated tension and chronic muscle knots. Especially effective for athletes.
Trigger Point Therapy
Targeted treatment of pain points – effective for radiating neck, shoulder and back pain.
Hot Stone Massage
Warm basalt stones release tension especially effectively. The deep heat promotes circulation and relaxes the muscles.
Aromatherapy Massage
High-quality essential oils – lavender, eucalyptus or rosemary – enhance the effect and engage all the senses.
Pregnancy Massage
Gentle, safe massage for expectant mothers from the 2nd trimester. Relieves back and leg complaints, reduces swelling.
Head & Face Massage
Relieves tension headaches and mental exhaustion. Especially beneficial for screen work and jaw clenching.
Back & Neck Special
Focused treatment of the most common problem areas. Ideal when time is short and targeted relief is needed.

Expert opinions
What science says
Modern studies demonstrate that professional massage measurably reduces inflammatory processes in muscle tissue and accelerates regeneration – well beyond simple relaxation.
Regular massage has been shown to lower blood pressure for up to 72 hours, reduce anxiety, irritability and depressive symptoms – an important building block for holistic health.
Complementary treatment
Acupressure – health insurance recognised
For deeper, energetic complaints such as chronic headaches, sleep disorders or inner restlessness, acupressure offers an effective complement to massage. EMR-certified – supplementary insurance covers the costs.
Note: Massage is not covered by health insurance. If reimbursement is important, acupressure may be the more suitable choice.
