Sirmay method
The Sirmai method (Hungarian: Szirmai-módszer) is a method of treating certain diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Developed by the Hungarian orthopedic doctor and surgeon Jeno Szirmay in 1948. The method is based on the use of physical therapy and massage.
The author of the method was a practicing physician and believed that treatment should be based on observation of the patient and his condition, and not on theoretical concepts. While many doctors recommended bed rest for their patients, Sirmay believed that movement was the best medicine. He also believed that massage could be useful in treating diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
Sirmay's method involves the doctor determining which exercises and massage techniques are most effective for a particular patient. The doctor then teaches the patient to do these exercises on his own so that the patient can continue to exercise at home.
Today, the Sirmay method is widely used in orthopedics and rehabilitation. It can be useful both for the treatment of acute diseases of the musculoskeletal system, and for the prevention of diseases and complications.
The Szirmai method, named after the author Edward Szirmai-Barth, M.D. from Hungary, who developed it in the 20th century, is one of the most effective and simplest ways to treat constipation. This not only helps relieve symptoms but also improves overall health as it relieves constant abdominal pain and acidity.
The essence of the Sirmai method is that a person makes smooth “fan-shaped” movements with his palms along the abdomen from bottom to top and back. This speeds up blood circulation, the movement of intestinal contents and promotes effective bowel movements. In addition, these movements calm and help normalize the nervous system.
