1, preparation before massage

Masseurs should trim their nails in advance, cut them short to avoid scratching other people's skin during pedicure, wash their hands with soap and feet with soap. After you like it, apply massage milk or vaseline oil to the body parts that need massage, which will make the massage smoother and prevent the skin of the massager and the massaged person from being scratched.

3. Reflex pain points

There are many acupoints on the soles of feet. Before massaging each acupoint, the pain points in the pathological reflex zone should be measured first. You can use a check stick with a nib, such as a ballpoint pen, to gently prick it. If the patient feels pain like being pricked, this acupoint is pathological and needs massage.

4. Massage for the elderly

Children are thin and tender, the bones of the elderly are fragile and easy to break, and the joints of the elderly are stiff. Therefore, when massaging the elderly and children, you can use your fingertips to exert force, which can reduce the intensity and avoid injury.
