Tendon knots, a seemingly innocuous term, actually have a significant impact on health. "The Source of Miscellaneous Diseases: The Source of Miscellaneous Diseases: The Source of Muscles, Bones, Skin, Flesh and Hair" once mentioned: "The meridians of the liver are unbalanced, the qi and blood are out of joint, and there are often tendon knots. It describes the formation of tendon knots and states that ** should be taken as ** to regulate the liver and disperse knots**. Why is it that when people are young, they will be shorter when they are old, and there is the so-called "longer and more pumping" phenomenon? It turns out that this is because our tendons have shrunk. Tendon contraction, in fact, is the tendon knotting, resulting in the accumulation of local side energy, resulting in local bulge deformation, contractures, cords or scars. Larger tendon knots are usually caused by edema, adhesions, and even fibrosis caused by soft tissue exudates. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the main tendons of the liver, such as liver imbalance and blood gas coagulation, are superficially gathered as tendon knots. From the pathological point of view, all tendon knots have pathological changes such as local fascial adhesion, thickening, swelling, and scarring. The formation of tendon knots in the human body is a warning that the body's meridians are blocked and the qi and blood are blocked. Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that the meridians are the network lines and bridges connecting the five internal organs and the limbs, and they are also the "long-arm tentacles" that we use to heal internal organ diseases through the body surface. The meridians are connected to the internal organs, and the limbs are connected to the hundreds of remains, so it can be said that all parts of the body, visceral organs, skeletal muscles, and hair, are all included in this big net. Once the body forms tendon knots, it will hinder the smooth flow of meridians, affect the qi and blood transfusion of limbs, and affect the function of the internal organs. In the long run, all kinds of diseases are not far from us. Therefore, we need to pay attention to our physical condition at all times, and identify and solve potential health problems in time.
This seemingly inconspicuous problem is actually closely related to our living habits. So, what are the habits that invisibly affect the formation of our tendons? First of all, we need to understand that the formation of tendon knots is mostly due to chronic injuries. This means that those seemingly insignificant small habits, accumulated over time, can cause damage to our muscles and veins.
For example, staying up late for a long time and overthinking can cause blood and blood loss, causing our muscles and veins to lose nourishment, thus causing tendon knots. Another example is that maintaining the same posture for a long time will cause the local tendons and veins to bear excessive strain, resulting in qi and blood stasis, and tendon knots will naturally arise. In addition, cold is also a factor that cannot be ignored. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cold qi has the property of reducing, and when cold qi invades, the blood veins will contract, which can easily cause damage to soft tissues and form tendon knots.
For the elderly, as they age, their qi and blood tend to be weaker, and their muscle strength also decreases, which makes them more prone to forming knots. In addition, if the muscles and ligaments around the joints are not properly cared for after the injury is not properly maintained, or when the muscles and ligaments around the joints are not applied properly or at too large angles, it can lead to blood stasis and the formation of tendon knots.
Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned factors, various other reasons can also lead to the formation of tendon knots. Regardless of the part of the trauma, if it is not treated in a timely or thorough manner, it may cause tendon knots. Therefore, for acute conditions such as bruises, it is necessary to remain still; During the recovery period, it is necessary to exercise appropriately to avoid the formation of tendon knots.

What is the difference between tendon knots and meridian tendons? To understand this question, we must first understand what the meridian tendon is. The meridian tendons, to put it simply, are the system of the twelve meridians that nourish the muscles and bones, and can also be regarded as the peripheral part of the twelve meridians. Their main function is to restrain bones, flexion and extension joints, and ensure that the human body can move normally. There is a saying in "Su Wen and the Theory of Impotence": "The main tendon of the sect binds the bones and benefits the organs." This vividly describes the role of the meridians. So, what is the difference between a warp and a tendon knot? First of all, from the morphological point of view, the meridian tendon is a complete system, and the tendon knot is only a local knot. This knot can appear anywhere in the body, and there is no specific pattern to follow. Secondly, from a functional point of view, the meridian tendons have their actual functional role, which can restrain bones, flexion and extension joints, and maintain the normal movement function of the human body. On the other hand, the knot does not have any function on its own, on the contrary, it restricts or hinders the normal functioning of the body. Furthermore, from the point of view of distribution and formation reasons, the direction and distribution of the 12 meridians are consistent with the circulation of the 12 meridians, and have their own specific paths. The formation of tendon knots is mostly chronic old injury, which is usually located at the stress point of the fascial tissue or at the intersection of the stress point. These knots are usually more noticeable on the skin surface. In addition, tendon injuries are mostly caused by sudden external forces, which may be manifested as sprains, lacerations, etc., but they are not easy to detect visually; On the other hand, the formation of tendon knots is mostly chronic and can be easily detected visually. To sum up, although the knot can appear at a certain point on the warp tendon, the two are not to be confused. In the actual conditioning process, it is very important to understand the difference between the two.

** method of tendon knotting: 1Tuina: Through professional massage techniques, local massage and rubbing of the affected area can effectively speed up blood circulation, soothe tense muscles and fascial tissues, and gradually soften and dissipate tendon knots. Not only is this method simple and easy, but it relieves pain and promotes the body's self-healing. 2.Acupuncture: Acupuncture** is a traditional Chinese medicine that has immediate results for various tendon problems. At the time, the doctor will select the appropriate acupuncture points according to the location and symptoms of the tendon knots, use small needles to stimulate the acupuncture points, adjust the body's qi and blood circulation, and gradually relax the muscles and fascial tissues. Among them, the effect of fire acupuncture tendon knotting is particularly prominent, which is not only safe and fast, but also almost bitter. 3.Oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine: In addition to massage and acupuncture, internal administration of traditional Chinese medicine is also an effective method. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the formation of tendon knots is related to factors such as liver qi stagnation, qi stagnation and blood stasis, so traditional Chinese medicine with the effect of soothing liver and regulating qi, tackling tough problems and breaking blood stasis can be used for conditioning. Common medicines include Prunella vulgaris, Suzi, oysters, Wang Buliuxing, etc., which can be taken warmly after decoction. 4.Chinese medicine hot compress: In addition to internal medicine, Chinese medicine hot compress is also an effective adjunct method. Daqing salt has a good heat preservation effect, while traditional Chinese medicine such as Sichuan pepper and cumin has the effects of warming the meridians, dissipating cold, and channeling. After stir-frying them and applying them to the affected area, they can play a role in dissipating cold through menstruation and relieving pain. For better results, a prescription can be reused 10-20 times and then replaced, using a warm compress 4-5 times a day.
