? Health care * * * Basic principles of massage therapy in traditional Chinese medicine

Introduction: Some people have a vague definition of harmony, while others are essentially the same. What's that? What is the principle of massage?

Basic principles of

It is the basic principle to seek the root of treatment, and it is also the fundamental principle of massage treatment. Seeking essence refers to the essence and main contradiction to be recognized in treating diseases.

As far as massage is concerned, the main contradiction and secondary contradiction in the process of pathological changes are Ben; The lesion site and symptom presentation site, the lesion site is curved.

For example, the rupture of annulus fibrosus is the compression of nerve roots or spinal cord after the rupture of annulus fibrosus of intervertebral disc, which causes low back pain and radiation pain of lower limbs. Compression of lumbar nerve root or spinal cord is the foundation. To cure the problem, we must first relieve the compression of nerve roots or spinal cord, and it is futile and ineffective to use only the lower limbs.

Some diseases, although the role of massage can not reach the root, can only treat the symptoms, but do not understand the root, treating the symptoms is blind. If the fracture is painful and swollen, after contraposition fixation, the combination of motion and static, properly applied, is helpful to reduce swelling, relieve pain and restore function. However, if it is not clear that the pain and swelling are caused by fractures, hasty massage will delay the illness and aggravate the injury.

Therefore, although massage has its limitations as a treatment method, it must follow the fundamental principle of "seeking roots" in treatment.

Selecting points and positions

Traumatic surgical diseases are generally mainly pain, and local acupoints are selected. Because of the pathological changes of muscles, ligaments and joints, most of the symptoms are the diseased areas.

However, if acute injury and local swelling and pain are serious, we should: first select adjacent acupoints and parts for manual operation, and then perform local operation after the condition is slightly relieved; For gynecological diseases, we should pay attention to selecting points along the meridian and according to the symptoms, and choose manipulation points on the body surface according to the correlation between visceral afferent nerve and somatic afferent nerve; Acupoint selection should be based on the different scope of trauma and medical diseases, and the depth of the selected part and different diseases.

Generally speaking, if the patient's body is strong, the surgical site is in the waist, buttocks and limbs, the lesion site is in the deep layer, the organs are old, and the amount of operation is large; The patient is physically weak and is a child patient. The operation site is in the head, face, chest and abdomen, and the lesion site is in the superficial layer. Acute damage to organs and gynecological diseases are relatively small.

In the clinical practice of massage, we still need to pay attention to:

1. Organ diseases caused by tuberculosis and pyogenic bacteria are not suitable for massage;

2. Cancer is generally not massaged;

3. Skin lesions, raw skin and burns are generally not suitable for massage;

4. The bleeding site should not be massaged;

5. Dislocation is mainly treated by reduction;

6. Women should not use abdomen and lumbosacral region during pregnancy and menstrual period;

7. When the patient is hungry and after strenuous exercise, it is necessary to prevent fainting when massaging.

What is massage?

In ancient times, it was called "Massage" and "Pressing Joe", which originated in China very early and was used to treat diseases and prevent diseases. Before treating people, massage has been used to treat people's diseases.

Massage technology has developed for more than 5000 years. There were even doctors and teachers in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Massage therapy is guided by the theory of viscera and meridians.

Meridian is the general name of human meridian, which is the channel of qi and blood. They are closely connected in the human body, criss-crossing, connecting internal organs and external body hair, thus forming a complete circulatory system, which plays the role of nourishing qi and blood, connecting yin and yang, nourishing viscera and benefiting joints. If qi and blood run smoothly along the meridian.

Then people are naturally healthy. If blood circulation is blocked, people will have diseases. Massage therapy is to make the meridians unobstructed, balance yin and yang, and keep one.

Today, there are hundreds of famous massage schools. All kinds of techniques, but all require the basic movements to be powerful, uniform, soft and deep. Because, after all, all massage methods come from the same source.

Massage therapy is a universal treatment method for the elderly, young people, children and women. With few side effects and wide application range, it can be used as a widely used self-method.

But in order to cure diseases and save lives, the requirements for massage doctors are very high. To skillfully use massage, we should not only understand the anatomy of human bones, blood vessels and muscles in western medicine, but also master the theory of meridians and keep in mind the positions of various acupoints.

Conclusion: It is very important to select acupoints and apply force in time. Since the development of massage, there are various techniques, so you must choose the one that suits you!
