Discussion: Why are there dozens of different massage techniques?

Massage has an excellent effect on the body and mind - without any side effects. Reflexology before bed will make you fall asleep quickly.

There are various treatment methods through massage - the movement of the body. Some are applied to standing, sitting, or lying down—some in water (hot or cold) while requiring the patient's cooperation and activation. Although the techniques look pretty different - they work quite similarly. Sometimes, these are also traditional techniques. In skeletal and muscular injuries, you will find extensive use of hydrotherapy; the water resistance is much higher than that of the air, requiring significant effort on the patient's part. Other techniques are used in internal organ diseases; however, water (warm) has a calming effect.
