What is the difference between bonesetting and massage?
Many people think it is massage when they hear bonesetting. For the general public, it is really easy to confuse the two. In fact, there are differences and connections between them, but fundamentally speaking, they are two completely different methods of Chinese medicine.

The difference between massage and bonesetting is that massage is the doctor's manipulation on the skin and muscles of customers. Through massage, kneading, pressing, pinching, poking, rolling, beating and other techniques, the force and muscle fibers move in the direction of muscle fibers or perpendicular to the direction of muscle fibers, which plays the role of relaxing soft tissues and opening the adhered myofascia, thus relieving the fatigue and soreness of the body. Bone removal is the effect on human bones. Rotation, stretching, lifting and pushing are used to reduce dislocated or slightly dislocated bones. At the same time, it is combined with lacing and soft tissue treatment to help rapid reduction.

Generally speaking, there are three differences in massage bonesetting: first, the former is slow, and the latter is divided into traditional bonesetting and flexible bonesetting. Traditional bonesetting pays attention to rapid impact, which will exert force instantly and be more violent. Flexible bone-setting technique is gentle and gentle, with slow force, and unconsciously resets the bones to solve the pain for customers; Second, the former takes a long time, and the latter is divided into two situations. The traditional osteopathic manipulation is fast and takes a short time, but it requires the osteopath to have considerable experience and exquisite technology, because if the correct force of rapid impact is not grasped, it will not be able to reset correctly if the force is too small, and it may cause secondary injuries and easily lead to disputes if the force is too strong; Flexible bone setting takes longer. After the evaluation of bone contact, the manual reduction follows the traditional Chinese medicine thought of "tendons are soft and rigid", and the strength is gentle and the force is slow, gradually reaching the effect of four or two pounds; Third, the former can relieve fatigue and soreness, but the pain in head, neck, shoulders, back and legs cannot be solved from the root. As long as the osteopath is skilled, the latter can get immediate results and feel better after precise reduction. For example, pain-relieving osteotomy, which is soft and safe, has a good effect of regulating pain and has been recognized in recent years. Now people have a lot of neck, shoulder, waist and leg pains. If massage can't be cured, it's hard to do. Mastering a technology that can completely cure pain points is more beneficial to development!
