P02.105. Short term improvement of subject well-being after a single Rhythmical Massage: a prospective, randomized, controlled trial
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purpose Rhythmical Massage (RhM) is an enlargement of the classical manual massage and has been created by Dr. Ita Wegman at the beginning of the 20th century according to the principles of Anthroposophic Medicine. In addition to effects on the skin and muscles, RhM is believed to have both general effects (e.g. enhancing physical vitality) and disease-specific effects (e.g. internal medicine, orthopedics, neurology, pediatric, rehabilitation). The goal of this randomised, single-blinded study was to assess the efficacy of a single RhM intervention either with aromatic oil (RA), neutral oil (RM) or a sham massage (SM) on subject well-being.
