What Is Bindegewebsmassage?


Bindegewebsmassage is a healing modality that uses light massage strokes intended to stimulate the superficial fascia of the patient in order to accomplish a non-invasive treatment. The therapy can be quite relaxing and calming due to the approach of the medical care. The therapy though hasn't received its popularity in the US unlike the other types of alternative healing through massage therapy.

The principle in Bindegewebsmassage is similar to the other forms of bodywork that believes in the importance of balance within the human body. Practitioners of this healing art regard any imbalances in any part of the body, regardless of being minor or major itself can bring down the health of the whole physical body. In this type of therapy, the therapist pays importance to the nervous and hormonal system of the human body as it prevents any interruption on the physical body.

Elizabeth Dicke created the Bindegewebsmassage in 1929; however it was not until 1938 that it first took part in public as a therapeutic massage specifically as a connective tissue massage at that time. The therapy gradually gained its popularity due to its effectiveness in providing improvements in circulation which later on made it as a part of medical massage in Germany. The therapy is being used as a treatment to many circulation disorders including menstruation, and visceral diseases.

In a massage therapy session, the therapist doesn't require the use of oil or any lubricant on the skin of the patient when working on the massage strokes and techniques. The therapy consists of light strokes that are intended for the stimulation of the nervous system. The treatment is done in order to improve the circulation of blood within the body which can be very helpful in providing a healthy constitution that can stand up against sickness and disease. The therapist works on loosening tightness in the muscles which causes painful conditions when left untreated. It also helps restore the nutrients by supplying the required oxygen through the improvement in the blood circulation.

Aside from the improvement of the former condition of the circulation, the Bindegewebsmassage is also good in the healing or recovery of certain disorders or health issues. The therapy can benefit the patient through the treatment of several conditions including bursitis, back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, arthritis, and other disorders. In order to receive these benefits though, I would suggest that you look for a good massage therapist that knows how to properly perform the technique. The search might not be very easy due to the therapy being not so famous like the others.

If you are looking for a massage therapy that is focused at improving your circulatory system as well as able to provide you a soothing and relaxing massage, then Bindegewebsmassage is definitely the right technique for you. However, make sure that you have an approval from your doctor stating that the therapy is beneficial to your health and will not compromise your condition. It's the best way to stay away from future health problems that can be received from having a massage therapy that can go awfully wrong due to ignoring the opinion of a medical expert.
