The practice
Rhythmical massage works through the principle that rhythmic touch influences the body's warmth organisation and fluid systems. The characteristic lemniscate strokes are understood to harmonise the interplay between the body's nerve-sense and metabolic systems. By working with the body's inherent rhythms rather than imposing external force, the therapy aims to re-establish self-regulation and vitality.
