It takes about 5 minutes to complete such a set of shoulder and neck massage.
Back massage:
At present, low back pain is also a common clinical symptom. Due to overwork and improper posture, backache often occurs. Here, Bian Xiao also introduced several special massage points on your back, which can help you relax the tense muscles in your back and relieve back pain.
For some sedentary people, waist problems are generally concentrated in the lumbosacral region. For those patients who are taller, thinner and weaker, they often feel pain in the transverse process of the third lumbar vertebra or lumbosacral region.
1, press the third transverse process and lumbosacral region.
(The third lumbar transverse process: the third lumbar transverse process, located at the apex of lumbar lordosis, has the largest traction and the longest transverse process, and the mutually antagonistic muscles are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the transverse process to maintain the stability of the human center of gravity.
Lumbosacral part: refers to the part of the back corresponding to the plane of the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae, which is usually basically the same as the part corresponding to the belt. )
Overlap your thumbs on the tender point of the third lumbar transverse process, and slowly press, relax, press, relax and cooperate with breathing. Slowly move down the spine to the lumbosacral region, and you can press your hands and palms together instead.
(Note: The parts on both sides of the spine above the second lumbar vertebra are the positions of the kidneys. Try not to press them to avoid damaging the kidneys. In addition, not everyone is suitable for pressing lumbosacral position. For example, patients have spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis. This method needs extra care. It is recommended to go to the hospital for diagnosis before massage. It should also be noted that don't rub the lumbosacral part during menstruation, otherwise it will prolong the menstrual period. )

When the operator feels which position is more sour, he can do actions such as pressing, kneading and dialing.

The safe massage of shoulder, neck, waist and back needs to avoid some special parts, such as avoiding the front of carotid artery when doing manipulation in the neck to avoid abnormal blood pressure; When massaging the waist, you should avoid hurting the kidney tissue.
In terms of massage strength, it is advisable to use acid, swelling and pain acceptable to the operator to avoid overexertion and injury.
