How to massage the shoulder and neck pain of office workers
Spine: Touch your neck, there is the most prominent bone, and the position of spine is here. Scapula: the simplest and most accurate way to find it. Put your left hand on your right shoulder, and you will find a bone protruding from your upper back. Next to the bone, it's called suture, where soreness accumulates! Product suggestion: Use massage oil or emulsion to make your hands slide to the basic dosage. If you can't slip any more, you must increase the products in time.
Step 1. Hello, massage begins: after putting the product on your hand, gently knead and heat it, gently press the four fingers of your hands in a soothing way to apply force, slide from the neck to the shoulder, and then slide back to the neck from the shoulder, and go back and forth for about 3~5 times. The purpose of this step is to moisturize the skin, Xiu Xiu's shoulders and neck, and to prepare for each other's body.
Step two. Relax the rhomboid muscle: after finding the big vertebra, start from the side, press your thumb under your abdomen, and push it back slightly to the seam next to your scapula (don't touch the bone), which can be repeated many times according to the sore state. Office workers who use their brains often have too sore shoulders and necks, and one day their heads will hurt! The key is that the Fengchi point is too tight!
Step three. Breaking migraine: find the depressions on both sides of the cervical vertebra, starting from the side of the big vertebra, then push up to Fengchi point along the depressions with two fingers of the right hand, and then support the forehead with the wrist with the left hand to start to deepen the pressing force of Fengchi point. Supplement: If you can't feel the depression, you can still find it like this: with the end bone (the bone protruding behind the earlobe) and the spine as the boundary, about 1/3 of the end bone is a massage place that makes people feel! The culprit of low back pain lies in the super tight rhomboid muscle, which completely entangles the muscle.
Step four. Relaxation of rhomboid muscle: Start from the muscle next to the big spine, push the sliding force to both sides under the fingertips of both hands, slide down from the spine to the seam next to the scapula, and massage the muscle range at the arrow, which can be repeated many times. Supplement: If you are afraid that the scapula is not easy to find, you can let the other person put his hand on his shoulder and let the scapula protrude, so that you can know the position more clearly. Shoulders are as hard as iron plates. One thing must be rubbed!
Step five. Comfortable elbow stroke: the midpoint of the line between the neck root and the acromion (with a protruding bone) is the acromion point, which is the most rigid part. You can use the strength of your elbow (please refer to the picture in the upper right corner), lean your elbow against this point, and use the strength of your body to press down (don't slide your elbow away), stay for about 10 second, then let go, then press down and repeat several times. Of course, full-body massage is the most comprehensive way to relax, and it is recommended to give 120 points of warm and comfortable sleep care.
Causes of shoulder and neck pain
First, the shoulder and neck structure: the cervical vertebra has seven sections, and the nerves connect the head and face. The cervical vertebra is the most fragile and insecure place in the spine. There are two main arteries in the neck; Shoulder and neck, like the crossroads of human body, is the main channel for blood supply to the head.
