Muscular and circulation conditioning before physical activity
People who regularly practise sports are well aware of the transition, which is often painful, between a rest activity and
an occasional physical effort. The objective of the usual warming-up techniques is to respond to this need to activate
progressively the physiological functions involved in one-time physical activity. This physiological need is also very desirable
for moderate but unusual physical efforts, as is frequently the case for most of us (treks, biking, jogging, etc.). The Toning
massage programme offers an ideal benefit in the form of optimal muscular and circulation conditioning before any type
of physical effort. It allows us to avoid the uncomfortable sensations – usually experienced during the first few minutes of
unusual physical efforts – and to limit the secondary consequences of insufficient preparation (aches, etc.).
Cycle duration: To be used on the muscles most subject to stress in the physical activity
involved (in this example: the quadriceps), in the last thirty minutes preceding physical
activity.
Programme: Toning massage 8◊
