Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, a guide to massage therapy principles and practices, elucidates the often misunderstood purpose of massage. By emphasizing the mechanical and reflex effects of massage, the author challenges the widespread idea of massage as a purely physical action. The reflex effect of massage, long ignored in many schools of massage therapy, is extensively discussed. The author presents arguments based on both theory and scientific observations to support the idea that the mechanical effect of massage is only one aspect of its therapeutic benefits, the reflex effect being equally important in restoring function. The book provides a nuanced understanding of massage as a powerful therapeutic modality, emphasizing the importance of understanding both its mechanical and reflex actions.
