Reflex massages are a form of the special reflex therapy, where the treatment intervention acts through nerve connections and endings in the area of selected reflex arcs. It is a manual treatment on the body surface, especially in places affected by disease through reflectory changes.
A special technique is gradually applied to achieve reflectory changes in the skin, subcutaneous area, muscular faciae, muscles, and eventually in periosteum of some osteal surfaces. The treatment of nerve endings is done mainly through application of stimulation, mainly by pulling. Grinding touches with fingertips immersed in the skin or subcutis are moved forward, backward, along the imaginary short or long, direct or curved lines.
According to the intensity of the treatment, pressure and slope of fingers one distinguishes between the following techniques: cutaneous, subcutaneous or facial. During the connective tissue reflex massage the masseur directly displaces subcutis versus base by grasping the skin and subcutis between thumbs and forefingers. There are special treatment touches such as „pushed spiral“, two-finger touch, saw-like touch, interspine touch, pushed vibration, across-the-back spine vibration, interrupted fork-pulling, etc.
Reflex massage is very sensitive body intervention, which besides local sensations (dull pressure, friction, blushing, etc.) causes also stranded emotions and reactions ("heartbeating" feeling, short breath, pain in the belly, pressure in the urine bladder, sweating all over the body, the feeling of sudden fatigue with an acute need of sleep). This implies the necessity to prescribe this procedure by a doctor, who should specify the target massage configuration.
There are four basic reflex massage configurations: configuration for the neck and head, configuration for the back (dorsal), configuration for the chest (thoracic) and configuration for pelvis.
The current combination of reflex massage with the classical massage is not apropriate, since it leads to the negation of the therapeutic effect, and one can not exclude the worsening of the patient's condition and a higher risk of the overall negative response.
Duration: 20 minutes; the doctor can prescribe also a combination of individual configurations during individual days.
