Matters needing attention
(1) Relax. When you massage, you should not only concentrate your thoughts, but also be calm, not nervous all over, and relax both physically and mentally.
(2) Accurate acupoint selection. Master the methods and techniques of commonly used acupoints, so as to select acupoints accurately and correctly.
(3) The intensity is appropriate. Because it is too small to stimulate, it is easy to cause fatigue and damage the skin if it is too big.
(4) Step by step. The number of massage techniques should be from less to more, the intensity of massage should be gradually increased from light, and the number of massage points can be gradually increased.
(5) Perseverance. Whether massage is used for health care or treating chronic diseases, it is not effective in a day or two. It often takes time to gradually show the effect, so you should have confidence, patience and perseverance.
