1. Massage treatment for cervical spondylosis should choose appropriate massage technique according to the condition. Improper manipulation may bring great harm. Especially for patients with spinal cord cervical spondylosis, a clear diagnosis must be made before massage treatment, and the massage response must be closely observed.

2. The amount of stimulus for massage technique is suitable for each person, not the bigger the better. Because most patients with cervical spondylosis are middle-aged and elderly, their constitution is weak. In the manual treatment, attention should be paid to gender and age differences. For example, males are strong and tolerant, and the technique should be slightly heavier; females are weak, and tolerant, and the technique should be slightly lighter; the elderly have weak blood, weak muscles, vascular sclerosis, and osteoporosis Gentle, light, and accurate, the force to the affected area; young people are full of energy, the method should be calm, accurate, deep into the affected area.
