Connective Tissue Massage
Positive influence on the autonomic nervous system through targeted techniques – for more well-being and health
What is Connective Tissue Massage?
Connective tissue massage, also called Segmental Reflex Therapy (SRT), is a special form of manual therapy that specifically affects the autonomic nervous system. Through special techniques, reflex connections between skin, connective tissue and internal organs are used to release muscle blockages and positively influence organ functions.
How Connective Tissue Massage Works
- Autonomic Nervous System: Positive influence and regulation of the autonomic nervous system
- Muscle Relaxation: Release of blockages and muscle tension
- Organ Function: Improvement of internal organ function through reflex action
- Circulation-promoting: Stimulation of blood circulation in treated areas
