Since the 1700s, Russian doctors have collected significant data on how massages affect patients with different diseases. Specific techniques were designed and systemized for individual and complex conditions.

Russian Medical Massage includes all general massage techniques, such as long strokes, kneading, tapping, percussion, friction, effleurage, and vibration.

Massage of soft tissues inevitably increases lymph and blood flow, which increases diverse biochemical reactions as well as metabolic processes at the cellular level in soft tissues. These processes restore the natural ability of the human body to heal and detoxify itself.

However, the specifics of Russian Medical Massage are that it focuses on the areas or parts of the body that directly or indirectly relate to disease. Russian medical massage is recommended for neurological, respiratory, cardiological, gastrointestinal, and orthopedic disorders.

“I am amazed at what one year seeing Dr. Arkadiy has done for helping me manage an autoimmune disease.

“I am staying on a low-level medication and feel better after every visit. My abdomen can be touched without pain for the first time in seven years. I leave each session incredibly relaxed and am amazed at how he can pinpoint my issues and resolve them.

“I am very thankful for acupressure and acupuncture with Dr. Arkadiy. I never would have imagined how impactful these sessions could be.”
