Rhythmic massage, as a rehabilitative treatment method, was developed in the 20th century on the basis of anthroposophic knowledge. Its development is linked to the Dutch physician and Swedish massage specialist Ita Wegman and her student Margarethe Hauschka. The technique of rhythmic massage, in contrast to forceful and pressure-based massage, is characterized by a light touch on the body and rhythmic movements.

During rhythmic massage, plant-based essential oils and ointments are used. To ensure easy absorption of these remedies, they are applied to the body using special techniques. Rhythmic massage relieves the body of heaviness, restores the proper functioning of organs, and ensures the harmonization of physiological processes in the body.

As a result of rhythmic massage, a person's general sense of well-being, lymphatic and blood circulation, metabolism, breathing, and posture are improved. It also relieves heaviness in the limbs, muscle tension, pain, and more. In addition to its therapeutic effect, the massage prepares the body for other medical procedures and makes the body more receptive to them.

Rhythmic massage is particularly effective if the patient has:

• • Musculoskeletal disorders (including traumatic and post-traumatic conditions);
• • Connective tissue disorders;
• • Fluid organism disorders (venous and lymphatic congestion);
• • Metabolic disorders;
• • Diseases of neurological origin.

Unlike other types, rhythmic massage may also be prescribed as part of the complex treatment of cancer patients, for varicose vein disease, and for various developmental disorders.

When performing rhythmic massage, the specialist is required to have creativity, deep knowledge of human nature, and flawless technique. That is why Therapie House specialists have completed a full German course in rhythmic massage and possess not only theoretical knowledge but also extensive practical experience. The center offers patients services on an outpatient basis, in the day clinic, as well as at home.
