Reflex-segmental massage. Connective tissue massage

The textbook was developed at the Department of Massage Massage Massage FGB “Kislovodsk Medical College” of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation.

In this manual, material was collected for a deeper and high -quality clinical training of medical massage specialists in accordance with modern requirements according to modern requirements. The book contains two parts with applications and a description of the segmental reflex and connective tissue massage.

The first part is a supplemented, software, structured presentation of the basics of segmental massage, a detailed description of its technology and private therapeutic techniques based on previously published books, modern articles and thematic manuals. For distance learning as an appendix to the manual, questions and tests on the material being studied are proposed. This will allow enthusiasts to purposefully increase their professional level in the form of self-training and competently use the knowledge gained in practice.

The second part of the book introduces the reader to the original technique of connective tissue and its effective use in a number of diseases and syndromes. The second chapter was based on materials from the Textbook “Connective Massage”, the authors of which I. L. Tripolskaya and N.V. Chaplygin worked for a long time in this college. We express our gratitude to Irina Lvovna Tripolskaya and Nikolai Vasilyevich Chaplygin for the work of the “pioneers”. Despite the fact that there were very few literature on this topic in Russian, they managed to popularize and adapt materials on the massage of connective tissue for putting in practice. The proposed manual is addressed to students of medical colleges and universities, practicing massage therapists, students of additional education departments, rehabilitologists and all those medical specialists who prefer effective, physiological and non-united treatment methods in their work.
