Rhythmical Einreibungen are gentle, rhythmical forms of therapeutic
massage used by nurses, carers and therapists working out of
anthroposophy. (The word 'Einreibung' refers to the application of
an oil or ointment to the body.) The methods - developed by Dr Ita
Wegman and Dr Margarethe Hauschka at the beginning of the twentieth
century - were first used exclusively in medicine and nursing, but
have since been applied more widely in care and nursing homes,
hospitals and clinics, as well as in curative education and social
therapy. This clear and comprehensive manual - the first such to be
published in English - is intended for anyone who: wishes to use
Rhythmical Einreibungen in their professional work and to review,
extend or deepen their knowledge; has attended introductory courses
and would like to read up on specific subject areas or find
suggestions for going deeper; teaches Rhythmical Einreibungen and
is looking for suggestions or further ideas; and would like to
learn about this effective healing discipline.It is divided into 4
chapters: describes aspects of the anthroposophical image of the
human being that are relevant within the context - concepts which
are important for the application and effectiveness of Rhythmical
Einreibungen are introduced and explained; distinguishes between
Rhythmical Massage and Rhythmical Einreibungen - details are given
of how the rhythmical quality is created for the Einreibungen;
gives a description of the techniques of the 'part' and 'organ
Einreibungen' which are most important in nursing; and offers
specific exercises which can be used to develop the special skills
required for the procedure.
