1. For the first massage, the patient's heart function must be checked first; If the patient is found to have a serious heart disease, the massage intensity should be reduced and the massage time should be shortened. And at the beginning of each course of treatment, it is necessary to re-examine the heart condition in order to determine the severity and observation of this course of treatment.
2. After selecting acupoints, massage the same acupoints in the order of first left foot and then right foot.
3. Massage the kidney, bladder, ureter and lung reflex area, enhance the function of urinary system and respiratory system, and smoothly eliminate metabolites in the body.
4. Massage other selected reflex zones and acupoints in turn. If you have time, you can press the inside of the foot, the outside of the foot, the instep, the calf and other parts.

2 the direction of foot massage The direction of foot massage should be as far as possible, which is conducive to promoting the return of blood and gonorrhea. Generally, the average massage in each reflex zone is 10-30 seconds, and each foot takes about 15-25 minutes, from light to heavy.
3 Strength of Foot Massage Foot massage therapy is mainly to adjust the function of the corresponding viscera by stimulating acupuncture points or pathological reflex zones on the soles of the feet, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing and treating diseases. Therefore, for most acupoints and pathological reflex areas, the stimulation is moderately strong, the pain is heavier and the effect is better; Especially the pain in joints, bones, muscles, ligaments and other parts, we must massage vigorously, but be careful not to use too much force to avoid damaging the periosteum.
For children who are old and weak, with hard joints or delicate skin, it is not advisable to use too much force. The reflex zone of patients with severe heart disease, liver reflex zone of patients with liver disease and reflex zone of lymph and sciatic nerve should not be pushed too hard when massaging, as long as there is obvious pain.
4 factors affecting the amount of massage stimulation 1. Different people have different sensitivities to pain. Children, women, the elderly and the infirm are sensitive to pain, so they often need to use light methods, but the elderly who often have massage treatment often require a little more force when massaging. For people who are less sensitive, it is often necessary to use more powerful methods.
2. When massaging, adjust the intensity of manipulation in time according to the individual situation and different parts of the subject. Generally, it can be effective as long as the pain is mild but tolerable.
3. When the massage intensity is constant. The action time of stimulation has a great influence on the amount of stimulation, that is, the short action time makes the amount of stimulation small, and vice versa. In foot massage, the action time of each manipulation should be appropriately extended as needed to increase the amount of stimulation.
4. Under the condition of constant massage intensity and action time, the more actions, the greater the stimulation amount, the shorter the action interval, the faster the stimulation frequency and the stronger the stimulation effect. In massage, the stimulation with faster frequency can arouse the excitement of the center.
