The article highlights the basic principles of massage usage in patients with cervicobrachialgia with for pain syndrome relief and movement restoration. We found differences in regional blood circulation reaction and the neuromuscularsystem response in the affected limb responding to main massage techniques (rubbing and kneading), that makes possible differentiated methodological approach to massage procedures. In patients with muscle-tonic and neurodystrophicclinical manifestations, it is preferable to use a kneading technique in massage procedure. In the presence of vascular manifestations or moderate pain syndrome, the massage procedure can involve both rubbing and kneading.
