Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the qi of Du meridian absorbs moisture at Fengfu point, so stimulating this point has the effect of cooling and absorbing moisture. This acupoint is located at the back of the head, the middle of the back and the hair margin. If the pain in the back of the head is numb, massage here can effectively relieve it.

Shoulder and neck massage 3 1, pain analysis
Neck and shoulder pain is not necessarily caused by muscle tissue at the pain site, but may also be caused by radiation pain caused by nerves. At this time, if the cause of pain is not further analyzed, the symptoms may be repeated even if the manipulation is done well.
2, the purpose of the operation
The purpose of manipulation is to restore the elasticity and function of muscles. Manipulation, if it is a health massage, can relieve pain and restore muscle elasticity and function, but if you just relax massage or do it once or twice, you can only relieve it, and it takes time to establish the function!
3, massage principle
Master a principle, massage does not need to talk about any routines, the purpose is to relieve muscle pain, so the strength and time of pressing are needed when operating. Press with painful but comfortable force, step by step, and each pain point lasts for about 5 minutes!
