SWISS ELITE MEDICAL MASSAGE BY ANTONIO RUGGIO ™

Have you ever known that oriental combat arts contributed to wellness and massage?

The ancient Indian martial art of Kalari Payattu  has become the basis for Chinese kung fu, after  once in the end of the 4th century a Buddhist monk  adept on Kalari Payattu came to Shoaling.

This martial art was accompanied by special exercises for endurance, and a special type massage oil to increase flexibility of the body. Massage therapy took pride of place  between Kalari Payatta masters being one of the best means for preparing a fighter’s body for training and combat, for recovery and for necessary treatment, too.

Japanese emperors, known for their power, used massage to keep their mind and body awake. The technique of imperial massage became known as “An-ma.”

Japanese samurai used a special technique of massage using their weapons for rapid restore after the battle. This technique is known as Tanto-aikuchi.

The martial arts also provide the use of “sockets” or “joint keys” for hurting the enemy by  overstressing one’s  joints.

Studying karate Shito-ryu since 1971, as well as being interested in different oriental  Martial Art, Dr. Antonio Ruggio  concern himself with the question whether did a human first learn: to hurt or to heal another one?  Having the question in mind, he began to study how can the techniques  martial arts  best be applied to get the exact opposite (healing) effect. In other words, how to use martial arts to create a healing practice for the musculoskeletal system and muscle definition.

The result was amazing! Having many years of medical experience and knowledge gained while working in surgery and in the operating room Dr. Antonio Ruggio  modified a combination of special manipulative techniques with classical massage therapy.

Since 1986, Antonio Ruggio has been practicing as a teacher and author of the method of “Swiss Elite Medical Massage Antonio Ruggio”. Bringing the eastern techniques of rehabilitation and chiropractic treatment into the line with European requirements and quality standards of massage, he applied all his deep knowledge of anatomy and physiology to create massage technology with Swiss precision and mapping out every detail.

The healing massage combines:

diagnostic methods;

classical massage using Antonio Ruggio’s unique techniques;

Eastern healing techniques based on Shito-ryu;

Swiss massage and precise detailed work with the musculoskeletal system;

work with the energies (balancing patient’s energies);

Each of these techniques is complete, but requires deep knowledge of anatomy, physiology, energy practice, as well as the skill of applying it in various cases and situations. The combination of these techniques has led to the possibility of restoration of the body in 3-4 sessions.

The technique includes a full range of methods and tools to provide the client with a complete sense of comfort, a cascade of amazing emotions and an excellent result even after the first session.

First, needs assessment is carried out ant the client’s expectation is determined. For this purpose are used special methods of psychodiagnostic. Such preparations allow to accurately determine the physical and emotional state of the client and to choose the right treatments . Already at this stage, the client experiences a pleasant sensation of relaxation, comfort, security. Based on the results obtained, his personal recovery or treatment program is defined.
