Massage: natural ancient therapy

It is not difficult to understand simple manipulation techniques. It is difficult to make correct judgments when visiting a clinic to prevent patients from accepting inappropriate treatments. Basically, it is necessary to treat certain bone injuries. It is enough to use massage alone. Only in certain circumstances, such as a bone injury caused by a fall, and at the same time there is an internal injury such as the accumulation of blood stasis, the patient needs to take the medicine.

What is massage?

Tuina can be understood in this way. Pushing is both “pushing and doing”, while taking it is “pinching and mentioning”.

Many people may confuse massage with massage. The two seem to have some similarities, but they are actually different. Basically, massage has a curative effect but the massage can only be temporary and comfortable.

When Dr. Ge Ming, from the Renren Health Chinese Medicine Clinic, was asked about the source of the massage, it went back to the Stone Age of 10,000 years ago.

“The ancients would grind stones into various shapes, such as stone needles or even hot stones, and they might feel a little more comfortable. Then, natural treatments came into being.” But of course, At that time, people did not call this therapy "massage."

Importance of diagnosis

Turning your thoughts back to the present, massage is actually the same as the most original concept of Chinese medicine. It is mainly to cure and cure diseases.

Dr. Ge emphasized that although massage can treat bone injuries, internal injuries, dislocations, and soft tissue injuries, it cannot be generalized. In other words, these parts are not damaged and can be treated by massage.

"Some people don't understand it and go to massage, but in fact, the ligament is broken, the more it is pushed, the more serious it is."

Dr. Ge said that the clinical diagnosis has become important, and the tutor must figure out where the patient is injured before deciding whether he can be treated with massage. "For example, if a patient is inconvenient to move, the right foot is dragged away. After diagnosis, it is found that there is a problem with the central nervous system. This kind of massage will not be effective."

Patient self-diagnosis

Dr. Ge said that the problem is that the patient is not a doctor. They just think about their own self and think that their wounds need to be treated with massage. So they go to the clinic to find a tutor to help, but if they encounter an inexperienced tutor, If you do not determine the exact cause of the patient, you will start to massage. The result will definitely not be negative. In case of a case that is not suitable for massage, Dr. Ge will explain the patient and refer him to other specialists. In addition to treating the wounds, according to the website of Chen Yusheng Hospital, massage is also beneficial to the overall health. According to the information on the website, massage can benefit people both physically and mentally, and also enhance immunity. It is worth noting that the website suggests that after the massage, remember to drink plenty of water and avoid drinking or intense activities.

Tutor's skill

Dr. Ge joked that many people think that massage is a time, but that is just people's imagination. But in fact, even if the massage is not a kung fu, the skill of the tutor must be as deep as the person practicing the martial arts, in order to play a real effect. Dr. Ge pointed out that the tutor is not only relying on technique skills, but also the ability to see a doctor is very important. For example, he said that a patient with a hardened leg has come to the door. The inexperienced tutor has pushed him hard and wants to push the blood out, but it is actually very dangerous. "In this case, the harder you push, the more pressure there will be under the cortex, and the muscle tissue inside will be necrotic."

Dr. Ge also stressed that “every action of massage has a strict definition, and it is impossible to edit the technique with the masseur himself.” It can be seen that the tutor who has experience and experience in both the visit and the massage method is How important it is. “It is not difficult to understand simple massage techniques. It is difficult to make correct judgments when visiting a doctor to avoid patients receiving unsuitable treatments.”

Get rid of the myth of tuina

We can often see on TV that people who are receiving a certain kind of massage are sore and dead to live. Some people think that the therapy must be accompanied by the therapy.
pain. Dr. Ge said that it is actually an incorrect statement. Taking massage as an example, the purpose is to treat rather than create pain. "Some people will misunderstand and think that the more pain
The more useful, the wrong. ”

Dr. Ge revealed that children under the age of six can also do pediatric massage, but because the child's body is small, the meridians and acupuncture points are different from adults, so the massager
The law will be different. It is worth noting that pregnant women and those who have received chemotherapy or radiation therapy are not suitable for massage. "Patients receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy, bone
It may be loose, and there is a certain risk if it is massaged. ”
