The principle of plantar massage is briefly described in Huangdi Neijing Zuxin: all parts of human organs and viscera have reflex zones on the soles of feet. Stimulating the reflex zone by massage can adjust the functional balance, restore organ function, and achieve the effect of getting rid of diseases and strengthening the body through blood circulation and nerve conduction. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, people have "four roots"-ear root, nose root, * root and foot root, among which the foot root is the basis of the four roots. People's old feet will fail first, and the roots of death will be exhausted first, which shows the importance of feet to the human body. Lin Yuxin, a physiotherapist who treats patients through the reflex zone, said that foot massage is a kind of health care, and some doctors give physical therapy to patients by massaging the reflex zone of the foot. When you step on the ground, gravity will stop the blood from flowing back. By massaging the soles of your feet, you can stimulate blood circulation, let blood flow back, and keep fit. There are thousands of nerves and blood vessels on the soles of feet and toes. Even if you massage the soles of your feet a little instead of the reflex zone, it still has a health care effect. "In the treatment, foot massage can stimulate the points, lines, belts and areas of the soles and legs, not only to massage the reflex area of the feet, but also to relax the meridians and nerves. Some people feel pain when they massage, but the question is the masseur or the patient? " Usually, massage should make patients feel comfortable. If the patient feels pain and shrinks his feet, it means that the massage is too strong. There should be no pain during massage. The masseur should pay attention when giving foot massage to patients with heart disease, so as not to make them feel pain, and the intensity must be limited to the range that makes them comfortable. The patient complains of pain, the heart load is too large and the blood pressure is abnormal, which may be counterproductive. "The feet of diabetic patients often have to be sawed off because of the aggravation of their illness. The key is the peripheral nerve problem of the feet. Diabetic patients should often receive foot massage to let blood reach peripheral nerves. Patients with kidney disease should also do more foot massage. If the patient's muscles are necrotic or ulcerated, it is not suitable for foot massage. Foot massage is the most helpful for chronic patients, such as people who often suffer from insomnia and weak constitution. After foot massage, the curative effect is remarkable. You don't need to massage your feet every day. Since it's so good, can I have a massage every day? There is no need to do foot massage every day, it will damage your muscles. After massage, muscles relax and blood circulates. This effect still exists the next day, so you can do it again every two days. There are many kinds of foot massagers on the market, which provide stimulation at the foot position, including promoting blood circulation, relieving joint discomfort and hand stiffness, and promoting metabolism. These health care products basically have auxiliary functions, which can relax muscles and make the blood system circulate well. But users must massage the soles of their feet according to their own physique, and the time should not be too long.
