How to massage most effectively

The strength of the massage technique has a certain limit. It must conform to the mechanical and physiological characteristics of the human soft tissue. After the massage technique acts on the human body, it can form a benign stimulus and induction, which can maximize the adjustment of the meridian nerve. It can also avoid obvious damage to human tissues. Here's how to master the massage intensity.

For example, in the process of using the foot reflex zone to massage a disease, whether the treatment is satisfactory or not, in addition to the accuracy of the reflex zone, the amount of force is also the key to the problem. If the intensity of the foot massage is too small, the corresponding effect will not be produced, but only a slight health care effect, if the intensity is too high, it will not be accepted by the patient. Therefore, in order to alleviate the suffering of patients and obtain significant curative effects, how to master the intensity becomes particularly important.

If the massage force is too strong, a malignant stimulus will be formed, which will generate an over-limit suppression signal and reduce the action of the technique, and it will easily cause tissue damage. The strength of the massage can vary from person to person. For example, those who are lean and infirm can be lighter. Those who are fat and strong should appropriately increase their exertion. Don't use too little force to make you feel no sense, but don't use too much force to hurt your skin and internal organs. In short, after massage, if you feel comfortable and relaxed, the degree of exertion is appropriate.

Massage intensity is usually light to heavy

The intensity of the massage is usually from light to heavy. First, gently massage the skin and its nerves into a process of adaptation, and then the intensity can be slightly increased, just a little greater than the previous one. Pay attention to the patient's acceptance and natural response, whether there is a feeling of frowning or discomfort. If not, you can increase it a little more at the third time. Don't be heavy at first. Wait until the operation site is rubbed open and alive, then you can say that this intensity is the best.

The first massage, the intensity must be appropriate

For those who are receiving a massage for the first time, it must be appropriate. Excessive intensity, the massaged person is apt to have a sense of fear of the massage, perhaps only once, and will not dare to receive a massage next time. The sensitivity of different reflection areas is not the same. Therefore, the intensity of reflection areas with strong sensitivity should not be too strong, such as eyes, ears, duodenum, frontal sinus and other acupoints; and some of them are relatively weak. It is necessary to increase the intensity of the reflection area, such as the kidney area, the adrenal area, the small intestine area, the pituitary area, and the gonad area. This strength is suitable for stimulating the pain produced by the reflection area to heal the disease and enable the patient to recover soon regain health.

It can be seen that in the process of massage, the requirements for the strength of the massage technique are very strict. This kind of force is a gentle force combining the arm force and the wrist force. In the process of massage, we must always remember the eight words of "internal force and external appearance, even and soft", and continue to experience and use.
