Rhythmical Einreibung (RE)
Rhythmical Einreibung (RE) is a gentle, therapeutic massage technique using oils or ointments. This method aims to stimulate the body's own healing processes, improve circulation, and promote a sense of well-being. It includes a short massage for each area of the body which can be combined into a Whole Body treatment.
The type of touch used in RE is mostly a light, sliding contact over the surface of the skin. Each movement is rhythmical, gentle and non-invasive; it speaks a language that the body understands.
The effects of this massage are warming, relaxing, reducing tension, reducing pain, harmonising and reintegrating the body, restoring a feeling of wholeness.
It has many uses and because it is so gentle it can be used at any stage of illness, following surgery or childbirth. It can be particularly supportive while undergoing treatment for cancer.
