The original form of communication in life works through the sensitivity of the skin. When a baby is hold and caressed by the mother they communicate mainly through this perceptible contact. The skin is the border between the inside and the outside and simultaneously the contact organ that connects us to the world. The skin informs us about the condition of the inner organs. Disturbances of the organs express themselves through painful reflexes in the skin. Vice versa organic pain can be influenced positively through massaging of the respective reflex zones.

It can be assumed that the different forms of massages developed over thousands of years, originating from the natural affectionate touch which at all times has been healing and relaxing. The stem of the word massage has a similar meaning in a lot of languages. In Arabic “mass“ means soft pressure, in Greek “massein“ means knead and in Hebrew “maschesch“ means feel with one's fingers.

For the skin as biggest organ of the body there are different types of massages available. Not only the skin is stimulated but also the underlying connective tissue, muscles, bloodvessels, joints and nerves. By loosening up the tissue the blood and lymph circulation is improved. Friction causes warmth, the bloodvessels can widen and the blood circulation and excretion of toxic substances are stimulated. Massages invigorate body and soul and have an easing and calming effect. The resulting relaxation relieves pain. Each massage can also increase psychological wellbeing on a longterm basis.

The most familiar massages are: classic physical therapeutic massage, medicinal and cosmetic massage, biodynamic massage, connective tissue massage, “Breuß“ massage, (foot) reflexology, lymph drainage, “Rolfing“, honey massage, hot stone massage and the popular Asian massages.
