Motion

Like the motion techniques of massage, this part of massage is designed to promote general good condition and to improve the appearance; it has no therapeutic value. In general, it is used in conjunction with  pressure applications.

The practitioner has the patient sit in a relaxed position and move the joints of the body to the right and left and to the front and back as far as is physiologically possible. This restores limber-ness and suppleness to the joints and removes stiffness from tendons and connective tissues. Consequently, it helps the patient maintain a youthful body.
