Western-style facial massage has a large massage area, so it is also softer in technique. People with dark faces can't do western massage. In fact, massage pays attention to the direction of muscle lines of facial muscles, because the direction of facial muscle lines and dermatoglyphics is vertical, so western-style massage pays attention to the massage perpendicular to wrinkles, which requires anatomical analysis of the face and in-depth understanding of the distribution of lymphatic nerves.

The role of massage:

(1) Physiological effect: The physiological effect of joint loosening technology is mainly realized by mechanical effect and nerve effect. Joint loosening can promote the flow of joint fluid and increase the nutrition of articular cartilage and cartilage disc in avascular areas. When the joint is swollen or painful and cannot move in a full range, joint loosening can alleviate the pain and prevent joint degeneration caused by reduced activity. These are all mechanical effects of joint looseness. The nerve function of joint loosening is that loosening can inhibit the release of pain-causing substances in spinal cord and brain stem and increase the pain threshold.

(2) Maintaining the extensibility of the tissue: Joint mobilization, especially the Ⅲ and Ⅳ manipulations, can maintain or increase its extensibility and improve the range of motion of the joint by directly pulling the soft tissue around the joint.

(3) Increase proprioception feedback: At present, it is believed that joints can provide the following sensory information: the static position and movement speed of joints and their changes, the direction of joint movement, muscle tension and its changes.
