Massage
(from Greek language) – to press
with a hand, to knead.
 Massage is a measured mechanical effect
to a patient’s/client’s body with a
therapeutic, cosmetic and relaxing
impact.
 Massein
History

Massage is one of the most ancient ways of treatment.
Already for ages in various cultures it has been used for
strengthening of human physical and mental health.

The origins of the most ancient massage can be tracked
in China in year 2698 b.c., there were medical schools
and schools of gymnastics, where doctors gained the
necessary knowledge of massage

The basics of contemporary massage were established
by Peter Ling
( 1776-1839).
Massage is performed with:
hands
 feet
 apparatus
 water
 special brushes
 cold
 stones
 etc.

Massage is having effect :
 Physiologically.
Massage is having effect
to a human body as a mechanic irritant.
 Psychologically.
Major part of the clients
perceive massage as a pleasant touch
giving a sensual feeling of comfort and
relaxation helping to appraise one’s body.
Physiological effect of massage

Humoral- mechanically and directly affecting the tissues
a formation of histamine, acetilholine and other
biologically active substances is favoured

Neuro-reflective- mechanical irritation is perceived by the
receptor apparatus in skin, muscles, tendons, cords and
internal organs transforming the mechanical energy in a
buck fever energy. Flow of impulses from afferent
nerves reach the cerebral cortices and thereby induces
reflector response reactions of the skin, muscles and
internal organs.

Mechanical- tissues are compressed and moved
thereby inducing an acceleration of intercellular fluid,
lymph flow and blood circulation.

Stages of cellulite
1st stage
Lymphostasis in
subcutaneous adipose
tissues. Skin is even,
smooth without any
changes in color. It
takes longer time to
heal hematomas and
skin bruises. For
diagnosing it is
recommended to use
thermographic films.
Stages of cellulite
2nd stage
Chronic lymph stasis,
venous stasis.
Alterations of skin
relief. Dimples are
more apparent at
muscle tension. When
touching, a lower skin
temperature is
observed.
Stages of cellulite
3rd stage
Chronic lymph stasis,
venous stasis, a
deteriorated
microcirculation. Local to
a diffuse fibrosis in the
subcutaneous fat layer micronodules, which can
be palpated. Skin is
dimpled and looks like an
“orange peel”. Skin is
cold by touch. When
pressing on separate
thickening areas, one has
painful sensations.
Stages of cellulite
4th stage
Cellulite is apparant also
at relaxed muscles.
Micronodules are
integrated in
macronodules. Due to
the microcirculatory
disorders, the skin in the
areas affected by cellulite
is cold with a bluish tone.
When pressing, one has
painful feelings.
Macronodules are also
called as cellulite stones.

Effects of massage
To nervous system ( coordinates an integrated activity of all vital
functions of the human body):
 Reduces activity of sympathetic nervous system
 Reduces fatigue, stress and increases the mental work abilities
 Improves the transmission of nerve impulse processes.
Heart-blood vessel systems:
 Blood flows from the internal organs to skin and muscles
 Expand peripheral blood vessels
 Improve blood supply to tissues and accelerate capillary blood
circulation
 Affect the tissue trophicity processes
 Facilitate and accelerate venous blood circulation
 Facilitate heart work and improve blood supply to cardiac muscle
 Reduce blood pressure and decelerate heart rate
Effects of massage
Lymphatic system:

Speed of the lymph flow in largest lymphatic vessels is four
mm/sec. Through the thoracic duct ( ductus thoracicus) all the
lymph flows through only six times in twenty-four-hours

Massage empties cells from the end-products of metabolism,
reduces lymph stasis and oedema.
Muscle system:

Affects the blood and lymph flow in muscles

Enhances elimination of lactic acid

Restores muscle capacity two to four times (the number of active
capillaries increases in muscles). In1mm² of the cross- section of
muscles there are opened and functioning 1400 of capillaries

Increases or reduces muscle tone

Most effective are kneading techniques ( petrissage)
Effects of massage
Joint and ligament system:

Increases elasticity and agility of ligaments

Influences blood and lymph flow in bones and joints.

Most effectively works with friction.
Skin:

Purifies the skin from dead horny cells

Improves blood supply to tissues, increases skin
temperature

Affects the venous and lymph flow, decreases
oedemas

Improves skin and subcutaneous tissue trophicity

Enhances the activity of sweat and sebaceous glands

Stimulates blood and lymph flow, thereby improving the absorption
of nutrients.
Increases secretion of bile
Internal organs are most effectively affected by vibration techniques
of massage.

5 basic techniques/methods of
massage
 Stroking
( effleurage)
 Friction
 Kneading(
petrissage)
 Percussion ( tapotement)
 Vibration
Massage techniques
 Techniques
of classical massage are
performed in a prescribed sequence and
manner, that are related to the intensity of
action and the depth.
 Stroking- friction- kneading- percussionvibration
Stroking( effleurage)

Hand of the masseur is gliding over the skin
without shirring it
 This is the initial technique of the massage, also
performed in between the other techniques and
at the end of massage. The emphasis is put on
the middle part of the stroking.
Stroking
Flat
Comprehensive
Sublimis
Deep
Simultaneous
Alternately
Continuous
Interrupted
Rules:

When performing stroking, palms of the hands
should fit tight to the client’s skin
 There should be no space between the palm
and the skin
 Hands should be relaxed
 Stroking shall be performed gently, smoothly
and slowly in a direction of lymph flow-to the
nearest lymph node areas
Effect of the stroking:
 To
get introduced to the client’s body
 Exfoliation of epidermis
 Improves blood provision to the skin
 Improves venous and lymph flow, reduces
oedema
 Relaxes skeleton muscles
Friction

A massage technique pushing aside the skin
 Performed by fingers and palms
Effect of friction :
 Increases
supply of blood and lymph to
the massage area- a warming effect
 Loosening cicatrices
 Anesthetic
 Prepares the skin for the other massage
techniques
 Improves the agility of joints
Kneading ( petrissage)
 Effect
on muscles
Muscle shall be taken in hands, pressed on,
lifted upwards and put in the initial position
 Longitudinal
kneading- longitudinally
cross the muscle fibres
 Cross-kneading – cross over the muscle
fibres
Effect of the kneading:
 Induces
muscle hyperemia
 Enhances elimination of metabolic endproducts from muscles- restores muscle
performance (reduces acidosis)
 Improves muscle performance(muscular
endurance, strength, elasticity)
Percussion (Tapotement)
- Very intense effect, increases blood pressure,
improves blood circulation, lymph flow, improves
muscle tone
Performed with palms of the hands, finger tips
Rules:
 Shall not be applied if muscles are overworked,
exhausted and crampy
 Arm wrists shall be relaxed
 Shall not be performed on neck, heart area,
kidney area, abdomen, spinal cord, joints
Vibration

a relaxing effect (reducing muscle
tension)
Vibration
 Vibration
possesses a particular reflectory
and relaxing efffect
 Heart rate is slowed down
 Reflectory effect to internal organsnormalizes the secretory and motor
functions of internal organs
Sequence of overall massage
 Back
 Backs
of the legs
 Front of the legs
 Abdomen
 Chest
 Arms
Length of massage depends on the scheme
of techniques and areas of treatment -2060-90 minutes.
