It is also known as joint and periarticular massage. This therapeutic treatment is used for orthopedic and rheumatic conditions affecting the periarticular structures (joint capsule, ligaments, tendons), as well as after joint injuries such as sprains, dislocations, and contusions.
The therapeutic effect of centrifugal massage is based on increasing blood flow and raising the temperature of the massaged tissues, which leads to: stimulation of metabolism and acceleration of tissue healing, increased production of synovial fluid, and relaxation of periarticular tissues. These factors contribute to pain reduction and faster resolution of inflammation, thereby reducing joint swelling.
