At work, I face the computer all day, and I skate on my mobile phone in my spare time. I often feel stiff shoulders and neck and ache all over. I rubbed myself or did some exercise and stretching, but nothing improved? Chao Lihua, a popular Japanese meridian master, said that when muscle stiffness is not easy to eliminate, the reason is actually fascia! As long as the fascia stays in the same posture for more than 15 minutes, it will become stiff and it is difficult to stretch and relax. Even if the muscles are relaxed, they will return to a tight state because of the twisted and stiff fascia, resulting in pain and discomfort. If you master a few skills, you can relax the tight fascia, promote blood circulation and eliminate stiffness and pain! The reason why the muscles in the shoulder, neck and back are sore and stiff actually lies in the fascia. Jing Lihua, a popular meridian teacher in Japan, said that the shoulder, waist and head feel pain, but when it doesn't improve, the key to improving stiffness is not muscle stiffness, but fascia distortion and hardening. Dr. Takehito, a professor of physiotherapy at the Tokyo Department of Health and Welfare, Capital University, said that fascia covers the whole body, covering muscles, nerves, muscle groups and blood vessels with a net, so that muscle fibers, internal organs, blood vessels, nerves and bones are maintained in the most suitable position. In the same posture 15 minutes, the fascia will be stiff, difficult to recover, and will be very painful. Because of the convenience of modern life, the chances of exercising to the body are reduced, and most people have the problem of insufficient exercise. In addition, using mobile phones and computers, the neck will lean forward and hunch over for a long time. But as long as they keep the same posture 15 minutes, the fascia will be stiff.

Once the fascia is twisted and stiff, it will affect the muscles, causing severe muscle stiffness and pain that is difficult to eliminate. Although muscles are easy to be stiff, they are easy to stretch and relax, and fascia has a characteristic that once twisted, it is difficult to relax and stretch. Although the muscles are relaxed, the twisted fascia has not recovered, and it is generally impossible to improve muscle stiffness. Step 1. Techniques to relax the fascia of shoulders, waist and neck. Hold the stiff muscles with your thumb and four other fingers like inserting your thumb for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Relax the stiff and solidified muscles, knead vertically, not only on the surface, but grasp the deep muscles, thus relaxing to the fascia. Step two. Relax the fascia such as hairline on the back of the head, and stick three fingers except thumb and little finger on both sides of the back of the head. In order to avoid position deviation, concentrate on a circle like a copper plate and draw a circle. Step three. Muscles such as pectoralis major that cannot be caught by hand should be pressed by thumb. Insert your thumb vertically into the muscle and press hard for 3 seconds. As long as you press it repeatedly, you can relax the fascia of a big muscle. Don't turn when pressing to avoid muscle pain. Step four. The general shoulder rubbing method can't produce effect on shoulder fascia. Grasp the shoulder muscles and press to relax to the fascia.
