The work of Soranus of Ephesus – the founder of gynaecology and scientific obstetrics – on neonatal therapeutic massage is truly interesting glimpse into the history of ancient medicine. This treatise, in addition to the importance it offers in describing important techniques that affect the body size of the newborn, is seen as the first study that conceptualizes the practice of massage as a process of shaping and modelling the perfect citizen of the ancient world.

Abstract
The work of Soranus of Ephesus – the founder of gynaecology and scientific obstetrics – on neonatal therapeutic massage is truly interesting glimpse into the history of ancient medicine. This treatise, in addition to the importance it offers in describing important techniques that affect the body size of the newborn, is seen as the first study that conceptualizes the practice of massage as a process of shaping and modelling the perfect citizen of the ancient world.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
