Today a number of influences cause people to be increasingly subject to gravity. Back problems going as far as deformation of the spine tend to develop at a relatively early age. Rhythmical massage involves techniques that address lightness and the force of buoyancy in the body, to strengthen the living organism and powers of self-healing.Tissues are deeply breathed and warmed through, resolving tension in both muscles and the psyche.The human soul and spirit isthus"invited"to enter into a new relationship to the organism, with inner equilibrium given new form.This gives rhythmical massage its great importance.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Citation:</strong> Meyer, R.
