Where Greek Tradition Meets Academic Excellence
At MTS Syros, staying true to our holistic approach to health, we are proud to offer Microasiatic Trapezuntios Therapy (MTs). This is the only documented traditional Greek method of Holistic Manual Therapy, and since 2019, it has been taught as an official professional training program at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA).
A Historical Journey: From Trebizond to the Present
The method carries the wisdom of centuries. Its roots lie deep within the empirical and Hippocratic medicine practiced by the Greeks of Pontus and Asia Minor.The preservation, systematization, and introduction of this invaluable knowledge into modern therapeutics is credited to the remarkable Asia Minor healer, Eirene Iatridou. She kept the long-standing family tradition of the practical healers of Trebizond alive, passing it down intact. Later, the method was scientifically studied, documented, and introduced into the academic curriculum of NKUA by physiotherapist-osteopath Sotirios Antonopoulos, becoming the cornerstone of the MTS methodology.
Philosophy & Technique
Based on the foundational principles of Hippocratic medicine, MTs views the human body as an interconnected psychosomatic whole. Its primary goal is to restore "Eucrasia"—the perfect internal balance and the correct distribution of heat within the body.
How it is applied: Through specialized manual techniques and targeted strokes, performed initially in a seated position and subsequently in a prone position.
What it achieves: It stimulates microcirculation, enhances the flow of bodily fluids, and releases restricted anatomical structures.
Who is it for?
Microasiatic Trapezuntios Therapy is highly effective for:
• Musculoskeletal dysfunctions: Cervical syndrome, lower back pain, sciatica, muscle spasms, and chronic pain.
• Stress relief: Deep physical, mental, and emotional relaxation.
•Wellness & Prevention: Activating the body's natural self-healing mechanisms.
