Connective Tissue Massage



The connective tissue massage is a massage technique that was developed in the twenties, the patient gymnast Elizabeth Dicke. The connective tissue massage is based on the theory of reflexology: the internal organs are located above the nerves connected to specific areas and clearly demarcated from the skin. When a disease affects internal organs, these neural connections cause a reaction in the skin area concerned, eg a thickening or hardening of the connective tissue of the hypodermis. The connective tissue massage treats the portion of the hypodermic connective tissue concerned and eases tensions and local hardening. On the other hand, massage also stimulates the organs and body parts away, but connected to the reflex area.
