Back Lying Down Massage Massaging Masseuse Nurse Patient Relaxing Soothing Spinal Column Spine Therapy Treatment Beds Vertebrae

EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Back Massage" takes us back to the 19th century German School. The print showcases a masseuse providing a soothing treatment to a female patient lying down on a bed. The image is part of a private collection and was originally created as an illustration for the book "La Femme, Medecin du Foyer" by Anna Fischer (Muller) around 1900. The focus of this artwork is the technique employed by the masseuse, who expertly uses her thumbs to massage the patient's spinal column from top to bottom. This therapeutic approach aims to relax and relieve tension in the vertebrae, promoting overall health and well-being. The scene exudes tranquility as both women are engrossed in their roles - one receiving care while the other provides it with utmost dedication. The furniture and furnishings surrounding them add an authentic touch to this historical depiction of medical practice. Through this enchanting engraving, we catch a glimpse into an era where medicine embraced alternative therapies like massage for healing purposes. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people recognized the importance of taking care of their bodies through holistic means. This timeless piece from Bridgeman Images invites us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance in understanding how healthcare practices have evolved over time.
