title: [Massages--necessary or a luxury?].
abstract: During times of limited funds for medicine, it makes sense to critically reconsider commonly used methods for their future application. It is frequently demanded in this context to remove the massage from the tariff catalogue of health insurances. Therefore, it is attempted to assess the massage on the grounds of results to mechanisms of action, indications and contraindications. Despite some reservations, this successful method should keep its place by using calculated prescription in complex treatment programs.
