Russian Clinical Massage

These are areas on the skin with an elevated sensitivity. They carry the name of Zones of Zaharina - Heada. because a Russian Doctor named Zaharin for the first time in 1889, described the relationships between different nerves exiting the spinal cord and specific areas of the skin that were more sensitive when certain organs were diseased or dysfunctional. This later became known as 'dermatomes.'

Olena D. Adams (Melnikova) is licensed in massage in Russia (Ukraine 1994) and Hawaii (1999). In 2001 she worked at a 4-star resort on the Kohala Kona Coast. In March 2005, Olena opened up her own clinic Olena's Massage Center at 140 Haili St. in Downtown Hilo, Hawaii. Working with her are several other highly-qualified professionals who specialize in deep tissue, hot stones, European, Shiatsu and acupressure. In January 2006, she became a Certified Holistic Health Consultant (CHHC). She also received approval from ABMP and NCBTMB as a continuing education provider in Russian Massage (16 hours).

"I would define Russian Clinical Massage (RCM) as the Russian curative massage that has evolved from the depths of millennia and incorporated medical knowledge from the East and the achievements of many Russian physicians over the years. In my opinion, it truly represents one of the best systems of massage on Earth. It is universal in principle and contains over 40 various movements, which gives the therapist the opportunity to always be diverse and never ordinary.

'I started be Therapist of Massage in Russia (in the Ukraine, my homeland) in 1994. Before I was a Engineer of Economy and Public Journalist. It was a very interesting time in my life. Every thing was somehow connected with the healing arts. In the 80's, in my country, Extrasensory and Bioenergetics therapeutic technique started to be very popular. I started to help to my friends and employees with Healing Touch, Aura-Massage and praying. I started to see how energy work can help with headaches, post trauma period, fatigue, insomnia, high blood pressure and a lot of other things. I had very good results in my trying to help people. I started to do research in healing techniques and massage was first on the list. Now I am the owner of Massage Center on Big Island of Hawaii and professional therapist of massage who heal people 14 years day by day:)

From 2001 I started teaching Russian Clinical Massage (RCM) in one of local massage schools. After my seminars students and professional therapists discovered for themselves a new type of massage, massage which provides great therapeutic effects in cases of traumas and injuries. With this knowledge of RCM students started feeling more confident in their training, where they did hands-on hours massage.

Professional therapists of massage started understanding the nature of pain and a more effective way of healing. My students inspired me to write a book and make a DVD about RCM.

So I hope I've imparted to you, dear reader, a good "first impression". In my role of caring mentor/author of the book, it is my sincere desire to impart to you the essence of RCM as well as many of its subtle nuances. I hope and pray you will be able to offer RCM to your clients, family and friends.

In closing, perhaps we'll meet face-to-face one day. I not only invite you to Hawaii, but invite you on to my massage table! I'll be happy to share this knowledge with you first-hand literally with my own hands!"
