Connective tissue massage targets skin and subcutaneous layers, addressing issues from swelling to atrophy. This physiotherapy technique is reviewed for its clinical efficacy in treating various conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Physiotherapy
  • Dermatology
  • Anatomy

Context:

  • Connective tissue massage involves manipulating skin and subcutaneous layers.
  • It targets specific body regions linked segmentally to organ systems and the musculoskeletal system.
  • Pathophysiological changes in connective tissue, such as induration and atrophy, are addressed.

Purpose:

  • To review the clinical data on the efficacy of connective tissue massage.
  • To explore the underlying concepts and pathophysiological mechanisms of connective tissue massage.
  • To highlight its role as an important element in physiotherapy.

Summary:

  • Connective tissue massage focuses on skin and subcutaneous tissue, addressing conditions like oedematous swelling, induration, and atrophy.
  • The technique is based on the principle of segmental association between connective tissue and related organs.
