    Nervous system plays a key role in the body's vital functions. Relatively nervous system is divided into central and peripheral. Central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord, peripheral - nerve trunks and nerve plexuses. In addition, the nervous system may be tentatively allocated to somatic and autonomic.

    Segment-reflex massage is based on trophic nervous system function, bringing together our whole body into a single system manifestations. Reflex reaction - is any physical factors of mechanical stimulation (at the same time massaging action) on the different body systems. The influence of light, small-scale stimuli, these reflexes justifies a more localized, segmentiški, however, vigorously massaging and greater body surface area (similar to the classical method of massage), this leads to a general (universal) response.

    According to EA Shcherbakov, segmental-reflex massage pioneer, a positive reflex of any effect of body massage takes place in the vegetative nervous system reflexes due to attend. This is because it contains short-and long reflex arc (neural cells) sprouting, petering out and head and spinal cord - as well as throughout the body for a number of existing peripheral nerve plexus, whose activities are related to the vegetative nervous system refleksogeninėmis properties.

    If the vegetative nervous system has a great importance to the structural fabric of any activity and therefore the effects of this system may affect vital functions of tissue to improve, especially - where massages are intended to avoid, prevent or eliminate the development of pathological phenomena. Shcherbakov said that the therapeutic effects of massage as only occurs reflexively when exposed to the vegetative nervous system innervation.

    Depending on the stimulus, since its intensity and strength, irritation of the surface size and impact of stimulus location in the body can lead to different vegetative reflexes.

    Preference is given to the sectional reflexes such as irritation of the vegetative innervation of the tone of it in the tissues of the skin surface is massaged, such as - apykaklinė area, back area pomentinėje part of the pelvic area, and so on.

    Clinical observations during Shcherbakov found that a greater therapeutic effect pathologically damaged body has a certain, specific field of massage, which is rich in vegetative neural system and links to related segmental defect area.

    Harmoniously in all the body connecting the vegetative nervous system reflex arc functions refleksogeninių areas massaging the internal organs caused by a reflex reaction. It was found that the segmental reflex may occur sequentially reflex arc, which is massaged briefly and gently in a small body surface area.

    Our bodies - a solid, uniform operation of the system. This ensures the unity of all in neurohumoral and endocrine systems, are controlled by the central nervous system.

    In case of pathological foci of visceral, inflammatory process of this segment includes the innervation of the place, and all tissues dengiamuosius who reflexively related to the damaged organ. These zones occur in tissues counter-reaction that can occur in the skin, subcutaneous connective tissue, muscle, and periosteal surfaces, and low-grade hyperalgesia, edema, or pitting is sometimes visible subcutaneous connective tissue - and this often leads to miohipertonijos signs or even replace the periosteal surface of the embossing. These changes are called reflex. They just may be irritation and fireplaces, causing pathological changes in nerve impulses, radiating into the defect of further promoting its pathological inflammatory processes.

    Massage treatments can not only remove the reflex changes in the tissues, but also to restore the normal function of internal organs.

    Segmental-reflex massage is called a massage technique, which is currently part of the body exposed to a specific coating fabrics įnervuojami respective segments of the spinal cord and having a direct reflex effect on certain internal organs. The treatment of heart - a positive effect on internal organs, the segmental - reflex irritation of the specific area of ​​massage action. Segmental-reflex occurs primarily through skin-visceral reflex arc.
    Segmental-reflex massage is successfully applied in diseases of internal organs, not only the locomotive, but also the respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, nervous, disposal or sexual system.
