During a connective tissue massage, the focus is on a reflexive or vegetative effect. Tensile stimuli (short, hooked strokes) are mainly used in the different layers of the tissue, especially in the connective tissue (1st and 2nd order). Connective tract massages are mainly used for subacute and chronic diseases.
Functional disturbance of the internal organs: among others, biliary outflow disturbances, bronchial asthma, irritable colon, cardiac arrhythmia PAVK in the legs, functional circulatory disturbances (main indications
), constitutional connective tissue weakness, e.g.Cervical
and lumbar syndromes and other pain syndromes such as tension headaches, shoulder-arm syndrome, migraine, pseudoradicular lumbar spinal syndrome
When performing a connective tissue massage, a distinction is made between a small and large build-up. The first treatment should be a small build-up below the thoracumbar transition because of the strong vegetative effect. A large build-up is an overall treatment of the back with its strong circulatory effect.
