Ivan's Philosophy & Approach
Central to Ivan's development of his special massages is his philosophy of massage. Ivan has developed techniques that combine the art and the science of the human touch. Massage is an exceptional, natural, and pleasurable way to enhance physical and mental well being.
In addition, Ivan maintains ongoing technique development and enhancement by understanding the value of mind and body disciplines from around the world. This ongoing learning is incorporated into Ivan's special massage applications to help clients reach enhanced mind and body relaxation.
Ivan's European Healing Massage
Ivan uses a technique that incorporates long gliding strokes and muscle kneading to soothe sore muscles, stimulate the circulatory system, and promote relaxation of the body and mind.
The special technique used by Ivan combines a number of massage techniques to create a superior massage experience. There are five basic kinds of soft tissue manipulation techniques used: effleurage (long flowing or gliding strokes, usually toward the heart, tracing the outer contours of the body), petrissage (strokes that lift, roll, or knead the tissue), friction (circular strokes), vibration, and tapotement (percussion or tapping).
Using these techniques, Ivan has enhanced their application and impact to create a special massage experience. Central to Ivan's technique is the European recognition of the importance of the Mind/Body Integration.
