This type of massage is performed with gentle, rhythmic movements, following the path of the lymphatic vessels.

It is a technique that focuses on the connective tissue called fascia, which surrounds and supports the body's muscles, bones, and organs. Fascia can become tight or contracted due to stress, injury, or poor postural habits. Sustained pressure and specific movements are used to release restrictions in the fascia and improve mobility. This approach seeks to relieve tension and improve muscle function, while also potentially benefiting posture and flexibility. It is performed as a standalone therapy and can vary in intensity based on the client's needs.

n the context of aesthetic treatments and aesthetic medicine, this refers to a technique that uses low-frequency ultrasonic waves to generate bubbles in liquids, such as water or lipids present in body tissues. These bubbles form and collapse, generating small implosions.

 Cavitation is often used to treat localized fat. It is claimed that the implosions generated by ultrasonic waves can break up fat cells, emulsify lipids, and release them into the bloodstream. The body is then expected to eliminate these lipids naturally or through lymphatic drainage massage.

It is a noninvasive technique that uses electromagnetic energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin. It is applied through a device that emits controlled radiofrequency waves. Radiofrequency treatments seek to stimulate collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sagging. Instead of a manual massage, during a radiofrequency treatment, the practitioner uses a device to apply energy to specific areas of the skin. This procedure may feel like a gentle heat on the skin's surface.

The temazcal is a traditional steam bath used by several indigenous cultures in the Americas, especially in Mexico and Central America. Temazcal therapy involves entering a steam sauna made of stone, mud, and wood, where purification and healing rituals are performed.

During temazcal therapy, high temperatures are generated inside the structure, and steam mixed with medicinal herbs is used. Participants typically sit in a circle around pre-heated hot stones. A guide or shaman leads the ceremony, which may include chanting, prayer, and energy purification.

Temazcal therapy is believed to have several benefits, such as the elimination of toxins through sweating, muscle relaxation, spiritual purification, and connection with nature and the spiritual world. Furthermore, for some communities, the temazcal is considered a sacred space for healing and renewal.

It is important to participate in temazcal therapy with respect for cultural traditions and under the guidance of an experienced shaman or therapist. It is also essential to respect safety rules and avoid staying in the temazcal for extended periods, especially if you have any health problems.
