Reichian massage

Description:
Based on the theory that neurotic and physical imbalances and disorders are due to the flow of orgone energy being blocked, this therapy seeks to release the muscular contractions with which the body has armoured itself. As well as massaging the most affected parts (around the eyes, the mouth and jaw, the diaphragm, the abdomen or the pelvis), the therapist may work on eye movements and change of facial expression, gagging, or responses such as screaming, kicking and crying. The individual is then open to receive psychoanalysis.
