The first is to promote blood circulation, so in the process of slapping the knee joint, the local soft tissue will be repeatedly pressurized and relaxed. In this process, the local blood circulation and lymphatic circulation will be improved to some extent, and the acceleration of blood circulation will accelerate the metabolism of local inflammatory factors in the knee joint, so patients with knee joint degeneration will also improve the pain of the knee joint with the decrease of the concentration of local inflammatory factors in the knee joint.
Secondly, relax muscles, in the process of slapping the knee joint, it will play the role of massage to relax muscles and ligament tissue. Knee joint pain can cause spasmodic tension of muscles around the knee joint, so this state will aggravate knee joint pain. In the process of walking, the discomfort of knee joint is very obvious. By patting these muscle tissues, it will play a role of massage and relaxation, so that these tissues can be improved under tension. Massage around the knee joint is similar to slapping, but the massage technique is more professional and the treatment effect is more obvious. However, slapping is only an amateur self-care behavior, which may not be so effective relatively.
The third is acupoint massage. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, there are indeed many acupoints around the knee joint. When these acupoints are stimulated, some related functional therapeutic effects will be stimulated. So patting the knee is really beneficial, but be careful not to overdo it, so as not to damage the knee joint tissue. Ok, that's all for today. Like friends remember to pay attention to forwarding. Thank you. See you next time.
