Overview

Skin sensitivity plays an essential role in our perception of our surrounding. Its intensity is related tosoft tissue tension, including skin, muscles and fascias. In order to examine skin sensitivity we mainlyassess the patient’s reaction to touch: wincing, complying, or without reaction. The sole of the footreacts most intensely. Ticklishness of the trunk is frequently found. Exaggerated, insufficient orasymmetrical sensitivity can be altered, „trained“, mainly by stroking. For this the therapist has tosense the reaction of the patient and his tissues, establishing a feed-back relationship. In this waythe tonus, i.e. the way the motor system reacts, can be modified.

Key words:
tactile sensitivity, perception, tension
