In recent years, massage for children is very popular. In order to avoid the side effects caused by children taking medicine, children's massage is highly sought after by parents. Parents not only often take their children to massage for health care, but also go to training institutions to learn how to massage their children. Whether you know it or not, I believe that parents and friends are most familiar with chiropractic when it comes to children's massage techniques. On the other hand, I believe many parents have doubts about chiropractic: should chiropractic be pinched up or down? What's the role of going up and down? I'll introduce it to you today.

This will start with the principle of chiropractic. Chiropractic is operated on the bladder meridian and Du Meridian in the back, and the upper chiropractic is from Changqiang point (near the tip of coccygeal vertebra) to Dazhui point. Shuo Wen Jie Zi explains: "Sew behind clothes." It means that the Du meridian runs and the back is in the middle. He said, "Detective, so is it." It means governor and order.

Chinese medicine believes that "the abdomen is yin and the back is yang." Du meridian is in charge of the yang of the whole body, and several main acupoints on Du meridian are all acupoints for rising yang. The purpose of chiropractic along the Du meridian from bottom to top is to raise yang, which is a tonic method. The order of lower chiropractic is opposite to that of lower chiropractic, which has the function of clearing heat, purging fire and relaxing bowels. It belongs to purgative therapy, and is usually used to treat excess heat syndrome, such as fever or constipation, and is rarely used for health care. In practical application, the middle and lower chiropractic is often only pinched or replaced by pushing back. Chiropractic is generally used for daily health care. Then let's talk about the upper chiropractic in detail, and the lower chiropractic operation is the same, but in the opposite direction.

If children are used to chiropractic, they can bear more strength. In the process of pinching, they can pinch the surface of children's skin every three times and lift it upwards, which is called "pinching three times to lift one" or "pinching five times to lift one" and repeat the operation. According to the syndrome differentiation of zang-fu organs, it can be forcibly lifted at the corresponding back Shu points to strengthen the role of targeted treatment. Each chiropractic can be repeated 3~5 times, usually once a day.

Strengthening body resistance, eliminating pathogenic factors, strengthening waist and spine, regulating viscera function and promoting growth and development. It is especially effective for strengthening the spleen and stomach, and can be applied to almost all spleen and stomach diseases. Clinically, it is often used to treat malnutrition, dyspepsia, anorexia, diarrhea, constipation, cough and asthma, night crying, autism and other symptoms in children, or for daily health care.

Matters needing attention in spinal massage

skill

When pinching the spine, be sure to lift it twice; When you get to Dazhui, you must wipe it clean; The fourth and fifth time, first mention the coccyx, not the ribs; After kneading for five times, knead it back and forth with your palm from top to bottom for several times to make your back red and hot. Finally, shoot three times in the coccyx.

* * Massage time

Chiropractic is generally suitable for children aged six months to seven years, and should be operated on an empty stomach. It is not suitable for chiropractic after meals, but it is most suitable after getting up in the morning, because chiropractic has the function of rising yang, and the morning is the time when the qi of the human body rises, which conforms to the holistic view of harmony between man and nature in traditional Chinese medicine. Night is the time to nourish yin, so don't chiropractic in principle, otherwise the yang will rise too much, hurting the body yin and recruiting patients with real fever. It is for this reason that some parents react that their sleep becomes worse or even irritable after chiropractic at night.

Can I chiropractic in winter?

In the same way, keeping yang in winter, chiropractic will lead to yang leakage, and because of the cold winter, yang leakage is easy to catch cold, so in principle, winter is not suitable for chiropractic, so everyone must pay attention.

Knowing so much, now, parents can rest assured to give their children chiropractic ~
