Questions. Is TCM massage the same thing as health massage?Who should not be treated with massage?

AI A.

There are certain differences between TCM massage and health massage, which are different in purpose, service population, and effect.

TCM massage is based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, according to the human body's meridians, bones, joints, reflex areas, etc. The object of TCM massage service is the patient, the purpose is to ** the patient's disease, which is highly targeted and belongs to the medical nature.

The main purpose of health massage is to relieve fatigue, including mental fatigue and physical fatigue, so that people can fully relax mentally and physically to strengthen the body. The health massage service is aimed at healthy and sub-healthy people, and is in the nature of social services.

It should be noted that not everyone is suitable for massage, and the following six situations should be noted:

1.Being too full, hungry, tired, or having a long period of poor sleep.

If you eat too much, the blood flow in the gastrointestinal tract will increase, and at this time, massage will cause a large amount of blood to concentrate on the body surface, so that the gastrointestinal blood supply is insufficient, causing indigestion and other symptoms, it is recommended to massage 1 hour after meals.

In the case of being too hungry, too tired or having poor sleep quality, it may be due to low blood sugar and poor state of qi and blood throughout the body, and the "faint push" situation similar to a faint needle may appear during the massage process.

2.Dislocations, fractures, acute sprains.

When dislocation, fracture, and bone structure are not in a physiological position, massage may aggravate the dislocation of bones and joints, and even cause or aggravate the damage of bone cracks to peripheral nerves, blood vessels, and organs, and aggravate the condition. In the acute phase of the sprain, the soft tissues around the sprain are in a state of edema, and the massage will aggravate the swelling and pain of the soft tissues.

3.**Trauma.

*In the case of inflammation, scalds, trauma, etc., massage will aggravate the injury, worsen the inflammation, and may further cause cellulitis due to bacterial infection. In addition, if there is a disease such as herpes, it is also possible that the infected area may be enlarged due to massage.

4.During menstruation or pregnancy.

During women's menstruation or pregnancy, it is usually not recommended to massage the waist and pelvic area, so as not to stimulate the uterus, affect the normal menstrual physiological process or affect the pregnant woman and fetus.

5.Postoperatively. In addition to the physical weakness of the subject after the operation, the wound of the incision was not completely healed, and the whole body qi and blood were not enough to be mobilized by Tuina, and sufficient rest at this time was better than Tuina massage.

6.Patients with chronic diseases, especially cancer patients.

People with chronic diseases should not have massage, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, their blood vessels may have atherosclerosis or calcification problems, and unprofessional massage may cause sclerotic plaques to fall off and enter the skull with blood, causing stroke. Cancer patients are generally weak and weak, and the patient's physical condition may not be able to bear the power of massage.
