Reflex segment massage was invented in the last century and it differs from the classic massage by the technology of touches and the place of application. It is based on existence of mutual functional relations between segments of skin, muscles, bones, vessels, nerves and subdermal connective tissues and internal organs, which are innervated from the same segments of spinal cord. Thanks to that, reflex segment massage may be used to prevent or to positively influence disease of inner organs.

In order to achieve an optimal effect of the procedure, it is necessary to keep certain order of touches, based on which the following four basic massage compositions were created:

• Dorsal

• Thoracic – composition for thorax

• Composition for neck and head (the client sits)

• Pelvic

Reflex segment massage is suitable for clients suffering from diseases of inner organs and with nervous and rheumatic diseases, as well as for healthy clients, as it is stimulating.

The procedure is done by a physiotherapist.
