Massagepraxis Yassmin Durtschi (St. Gallen)

Classical massage

The classical massage is probably the most widespread massage technique in our latitudes and "in the broadest sense one of the oldest remedies of mankind" (Franz Kirchberg).

Foot reflexology (according to Marquardt)

In RZF the whole body is treated via the foot. Based on the image of the "sitting man" in the foot (similarity of form) or also via the segmentation, organ zones in the foot can be allocated and treated. The goals of RZF are pain reduction, improvement of organ functions, activation of elimination and metabolic functions, and relaxation of body and mind. "In a study at the University of Innsbruck in 2000, the effectiveness of RZF was demonstrated by means of color-coded double sonography (Kargor Libri, www.fussreflex-rzf.ch)."

Lymphatic Drainage

Through manual lymphatic drainage, accumulated tissue fluids (lymph) can be removed more quickly through gentle, circular "pumping movements" in the course of the lymph vessels/lymphatic channels. Nervous upsets and inner tensions improve due to the calming effect of the mLD. (Improved lymphatic drainage => tissue detoxification).

Binding tissue massage (according to Dicke)

The BGM is a kind of reflex zone therapy. Through the cuti-visceral reflex arc, it is possible to influence internal organs (as well as nerves, muscles and vessels) by treating stressed connective tissue zones (contracted or swollen BG zones of the subcutaneous tissue). In this way it is possible to influence the vegetative regulatory mechanism and improve organ functions and the state of tension of the BG.

Dorn-Breuss method (according to Dieter Dorn and Rudolf Breuss).

- Dorn method

This treatment method has been helping many people suffering from pain for over thirty years. With gentle pressure and movement, the legs, pelvis, back vertebrae and all large and small joints are brought into balance. The patient is then given self-help exercises to use at home.

- Breuss massage

The Breuss massage is a manual-energetic massage technique that optimally complements the Dorn method.

Kinesiotape/K-Tape/Medi-Tape

The kinesiotape can be used in many ways. By applying it to the skin, "space is created" in the underlying tissue "space is created" in the underlying tissue, which improves lymphatic drainage and blood circulation.
During everyday movements, there is increased skin/tissue displacement under the tape, which irritates the mechanoreceptors and thus reduces pain.
Muscles, muscle groups, nerve courses, connective tissue zones, lymphatic channels or pain points and scars can be taped.
