1, the health care principle of massage
Massage is a kind of physical therapy that operates on special parts. Through mechanical and thermal effects, it can improve blood circulation of muscles and skin, smooth connective tissue, enhance metabolism of tissues and organs, regulate gastrointestinal peristalsis, adjust nervous system, change blood composition, regulate endocrine function, and improve immune function, so as to achieve the purposes of disease prevention and treatment, health care and health preservation. The specific benefits of massage to the body are mainly manifested in the following aspects.
2, improve blood circulation
Massage generates certain strength and heat through mechanical stimulation. Due to the stress, the venous blood vessels are squeezed, and the blood returns to the heart faster, or the nerve reflex promotes the contraction and quantity of muscle fibers in the blood vessel wall and promotes the blood vessel flow. Due to the effect of heat, local skin temperature rises, capillaries dilate, and blood circulation is smooth. The same effect can improve the blood circulation function, make the local blood stasis dissipate, the swelling subside, the oxygen supply to the heart and brain is sufficient, and the heart and brain function return to normal.

Massage can achieve the purpose of treating diseases and protecting health by regulating endocrine function, such as massage for prosperity, triple energizer, plaster and ear point endocrine, and can treat obesity, seborrheic alopecia and acne caused by excessive androgen secretion. Massage Yishu and Shu Fei, Pishu, Shenshu and Sanjiaoshu on the back can promote insulin secretion and treat diabetes caused by decreased insulin secretion; Massage Dazhui, Ganshu, Shenshu, Zusanli and Du meridian can increase the secretion of estrogen in women and treat freckles, chloasma, climacteric syndrome, small breasts and wrinkles caused by decreased estrogen secretion.
5, regulating gastrointestinal peristalsis
The normal peristalsis of the stomach ensures the normal digestion, absorption and excretion of food. Once the peristalsis of the stomach is too small, it will lead to gastrointestinal spasm, stomach pain, abdominal pain or constipation. Excessive peristalsis can lead to nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. Massage Zusanli, Zhongyu, Shu Wei, Pishu, Dachangshu, Xiaochangshu and other acupoints, that is, the abdomen, can balance the times of gastrointestinal peristalsis and play a two-way adjustment role.

7. Metabolism of tissues and organs
The metabolism of tissues and organs is endless, and the body can be healthy for a long time. Massage can enhance the metabolism of tissues and organs. For example, massaging the skin can enhance its secretion function, eliminate rotten epithelial cells, promote the excretion of metabolites such as sebum, and be beneficial to skin metabolism and improve skin nutrition. Massage Shu Fei, Shu Ge and Maozhong points can increase vital capacity, promote gas exchange, discharge a lot of carbon dioxide and other waste gases, and inhale a lot of oxygen, so that the oxygen needed by the body can be fully guaranteed.
8. Smooth connective tissue
Massage, especially the method of moving joints, can dredge the connective tissue of joint adhesion, restore normal joint mobility and prevent joint stiffness. For muscle spasms caused by bone joint and soft tissue injuries, massage can improve local blood circulation, eliminate harmful substances, and fully lengthen the spasmodic muscles, thus eliminating muscle spasms.
9, change the blood composition
The effect of massage on blood components, besides increasing white blood cells and enhancing non-specific immune function, the most important thing is to increase the content of endorphins in serum and cholinesterase, thus playing an important role in the analgesic mechanism.
