In addition, different seasons should also focus on it. Spring massage is beneficial. It is necessary to adopt the methods of soothing the liver and benefiting the gallbladder, nourishing blood and softening the liver; In autumn, massage should be used to replenish lung qi, nourish yin and moisten dryness. In the process of syndrome differentiation, we should comprehensively consider various factors and carry out it selectively.
2. Concentrate and breathe evenly. Attention concentration and even breathing are what massage practitioners and people who use massage methods to strengthen themselves must pay attention to. When self-massage is beneficial, only by paying attention and breathing evenly can we carefully understand the reaction and changes of the body after self-massage, so as to adjust the massage technique, intensity and frequency in time and achieve the expected effect. When using massage to supplement others, the performer should pay more attention, carefully observe and understand the feelings and physical reactions of the massaged person, so as to adjust and change his own techniques. Don't chat and joke when you massage. Don't press stop, or interrupt treatment at will. Do something else, but concentrate on completing all the scheduled procedures continuously to ensure the effect of massage.
Step by step, keep in good health, whether it is exercise or diet, there is a persistent problem. The same is true for massage tonic, which needs to be gradual and persistent. If you fish for three days, dry the net for two days, or be exposed to the cold for ten times, it is impossible to have a good result. For example, you haven't had a massage, and you are still very tired after rubbing it for one or two hundred times at first. So you can use less force at first, rub it a few times less, and gradually increase it later. In addition, after a period of massage, the tonic effect may not be obvious, or the effect is obvious at first, and then it is not obvious, so some people lose confidence, which is not desirable. In fact, massage tonic and diet tonic and other tonic methods are the same, some can be immediate, while others take a long time. Massage fitness needs long-term persistence and perseverance, and some even need lifelong persistence to achieve the goal of health and longevity.
4. Appropriate time, especially morning and evening massage, is simple and effective. If you can choose the right time, you will get better results. Massage tonic, whether it is self-massage or mutual massage between family members, is usually arranged in the morning and evening, and the effect is particularly good. First, I usually have to work during the day and time is tight, but in the morning and evening, especially at night, time is relatively abundant, which is conducive to concentrating on calming down and implementing massage. Second, because the health experts of past dynasties believe that the morning is the time when the yang grows, at this time, self-massage can lead the yang and cheer up the spirit. Night massage helps to eliminate fatigue, promote sleep and improve sleep quality.
5. It varies from person to person, and the massage mode, intensity and duration should be determined according to the general principle of light and slow, and according to the physical condition of oneself or the person being massaged. For people who are old and weak and have poor health after a long illness, massage techniques should be light, and at the same time, the methods of increasing massage times and prolonging massage time should be adopted to achieve the expected effect. For people who are tall and obese, the manipulation should be heavier, and the method of appropriately aggravating the manipulation should be used to prevent the force from being too small to achieve the effect.
6. Use media to prevent damage. For the average person, because the technique is light, it will not cause local skin damage. However, for people with dry skin, the elderly and infants with delicate skin, media such as sesame oil and massage cream should be used to prevent local skin damage.
7. Avoid the wind and keep warm. Whether it is self-massage or mutual massage between family members, we should pay attention to choosing a warm and windless comfortable environment.
If you massage in winter, you should pay more attention to rubbing your hands before surgery; When massaging in summer, don't blow the wind of electric fan and air conditioner to the massaged person.
