Why Medical Massage?
Medical massage is one of the most effective and simple tools for reaching rapid and sustained results in various disorders including sciatic nerve neuralgia, hypertension, impingement syndromes, and lower back disorders. Medical massage is a comprehensive method of soft tissue mobilization consisting of connective tissue massage (fascia mobilization), muscular mobilization, trigger point therapy (if trigger points exist), skin mobilization, and other components. In his DVD's, Boris demonstrates and explains how to palpate and detect abnormalities in the skin, fascia, muscles. He also offers techniques for the elimination of tension in fascia and muscles, trigger point therapy, and reduction of high skin density. The elimination of these abnormalities leads to immediate results, including reduction of pain, and release of nerve impingements. All the protocols that Boris teaches in his DVD's are easy to learn and are clearly and extensively explained as Boris demonstrates their hands-on application. Boris strives to supply the viewer with both a thorough understanding of the physiological effects of medical massage, as well as a thorough demonstration of all techniques.

How valid is Medical Massage?
Medical massage was initially researched and proposed in 1936 by the Russian physician Anatoli Sherbak, M.D., Ph.D. About 20 years later, two German physicians, Dr. Glezer and Dr. Dalicho, developed maps of reflex zones abnormalities in the skin, fascia, muscles, and periosteum. Their work was based on the database of Dr. Sherbak. The first edition of the textbook by Drs. Glezer and Dalicho was published in 1955. Reflex zones maps of Drs. Glezer and Dalicho help tremendously to detect and find the above-mentioned disorders of the support and movement system and of inner organs. Most importantly, you can be sure that you are utilizing safe and effective techniques, as all of these protocols were developed through research. Through their massive utilization in most European countries and all over the world since 1955, all of these procedures have been clinically proven to be safe and effective. Boris deeply believes that studying scientifically-developed protocols is much easier than studying other methods. The reason is that the scientifically-developed protocols offer a step-by-step method design.

Do the DVD's contain the Glezer & Dalicho maps?
The "bonus materials" section of every DVD contains maps of Glezer & Dalicho's reflex zones abnormalities (for cervical disorders, elbow and knee disorders, cardiac disorders, and more!) We highly recommend using these maps as a guide. These maps can direct you to the potential localization of trigger points, fascia and muscle tension, and more.
