15 years of work experience, medical education, practiced in China the art of traditional Chinese medicine (qigong, tui-na, acupressure, acupuncture, acupressure) Remember: A masseur is only known in practice. No amount of vivid pictures and text will show you how good a massage therapist is until you visit him. I practice Chinese therapeutic massage point by point. The techniques of Chinese therapeutic massage are based on working with biologically active points located on the human body and responsible for a specific organ. These techniques are absolutely harmless and have not only therapeutic, but also prophylactic and general strengthening effect. According to Chinese philosophy, a person is healthy if the Qi energy flows in a free flow along the meridians, which feed all internal organs with energy. As soon as the even flow of Qi is disturbed, the person becomes ill. Chinese massage therapy is effective in the treatment and prevention of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, joints and the whole body as a whole, in the recovery of the body after injuries. The action of the massage is based on improving the blood supply, both of the massage zone itself and of the organ subordinate to it, by means of point pressure on the muscle fibers and the nerves of the end with the transmission of impulses to the organ for which they are responsible.

Chinese relaxation massage

The art of Chinese physicians, who practiced massage procedures for 3-5 thousand years BC, came to us thanks to how much importance they still attach to it in the Celestial Empire. Improving health with a relaxing massage according to ancient Chinese techniques is used all over the world today. Relaxation as an opportunity to restore working capacity, relieve stress in a short time makes this procedure not only useful, but also extremely pleasant. The methods of exposure are divided by types, among which one can distinguish: - standard - with the use of aromatherapy, anointing the body; - local - feet, face, hands, back, collar zone; - for children; - deep - to improve the functioning of the liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract.

Thai traditional massage

This type of massage is otherwise called "passive yoga". The mechanisms of action on muscles and joints - slow, smooth stretches and twists that reach deep groups of muscle fibers, are similar to yoga and are filled with the same philosophy. It is based on stimulating the flows of vital energy flowing along the ten main lines of Sen Sip in the body. Thai massage is designed to restore the energy balance of the physical body and its subtle spheres, the harmony of our existence. Improving flexibility and mobility, relieving internal tension, exacerbating the reaction of the nervous system and the resulting surge of vital energy are the result of a Thai massage correctly performed by a master.

Chinese anti-cellulite massage

This type of massage in China used to be one of the procedures intended for members of the imperial family and its closest entourage. Today, every woman can join this type of massage, which was brought to the level of high art by Chinese doctors in ancient times. The technique of Chinese anti-cellulite massage is completely different than in the classical version. It consists in the principle of acupuncture effects to activate the internal mechanisms of the human body to convert excess adipose tissue, "orange peel", into energy, a general surge of strength is felt, due to increased activity, muscle tone increases, which contributes to the breakdown of fat cells, which is also ensured massage procedure.

Therapeutic massage (medical massage)- This is a proven, effective method of therapy, which has been widely practiced all over the world for over a hundred years for the treatment of various ailments, injuries and their consequences. It has its own methodology and implementation rules, is used in various modifications, has a wide range of indications and a small list of contraindications.

Along with this, depending on the nature, type and severity of the disease, therapeutic massage can act as an independent method of therapy, as well as an auxiliary means or an integral part of complex treatment. In addition, therapeutic massage is indispensable in the rehabilitation phase, as it is an effective means of helping to restore the normal functioning of the body after injury or illness.

Types of medical massage

All therapeutic massage is divided into types, which are conditioned by various techniques and methods of influence. The following types of medical massage are widely practiced:

European classical medical massage... Such massage is performed in the affected area of the body or in the area adjacent to this area (say, if a direct effect cannot be performed due to plaster). In this case, the usual massage techniques are used, as well as auxiliary massage aids.
Acupressure therapeutic massage... This type of massage is also called acupressure, it uses almost all the same techniques that are used in the classical one. However, the impact occurs on certain points located on the human body, which are called reflexogenic or biologically active. The main task of acupressure is to relieve pain, relieve muscle spasms, and remove nervous tension. Typically, acupressure is performed using the index finger, thumb, and elbow. In the past few years, such a technique of this type of massage, as pressure, has been widely in demand.
Periosteal therapeutic massage. This type of massage has a beneficial effect on the pain points of the body, which have a reflex connection with different systems of the body or its internal organs. It is prescribed for ailments of the musculoskeletal system, for diseases of the joints in some diseases of the internal organs. Periosteal massage has a positive effect on the circulation of lymph and blood, on metabolic and trophic processes. This massage must be carried out in those painful points where unpleasant, painful sensations are concentrated. In this case, one should take into account how severe the pain in a person is.
Connective tissue medical massage. This massage works on the connective tissues in the reflex areas. Most often it is prescribed for pathology of the musculoskeletal system and some diseases of internal organs.
Reflex therapy massage. This type of massage is indicated for various diseases of the internal organs. It is based on the doctrine that the entire human body is an integral system and all its parts, one way or another, are interconnected. Reflex massage uses mechanical stimulation of the skin areas where the nerve endings associated with the spinal cord areas are located, which sends impulses to the internal organs.
Hardware medical massage. From the name it becomes clear that this massage is performed not by hands, but by means of some devices, special devices that affect the human body in different ways. Damaged organs and tissues can be treated with infrared and ultrasonic devices. It can also be electrostimulation, cupping, vacuum roller and pneumatic vibration massage.
Self-massage. This is a type of massage when the patient independently affects a certain area of his body. Such massage is widespread throughout the world, and its task is to improve the body's health, normalize the blood circulation process, increase blood flow to the internal organs, accelerate lymph flow, generally improve well-being and better nutrition of tissues. In addition, self-massage is a fairly effective means of preventing and treating colds.

Mandatory rules for the use of therapeutic massage

Before turning to medical massage, you need to learn a number of rules:

This type of massage cannot be used without prior consultation with a highly qualified specialist and his specific prescriptions. This is not a method of self-medication, but a rather serious procedure that, if performed correctly and prescribed, will be beneficial, and if incorrectly, harm the body, even may aggravate the patient's condition or his illness.
Therapeutic massage is always a course therapy, which means that you should not count on the fact that after the first procedure or a single session, all diseases will instantly disappear. On average, as a rule, about ten or even fifteen sessions are assigned.
The frequency of the sessions is determined by the doctor and is determined by the nature and degree of the disease. In some situations, therapeutic massage is performed every day, in others, such therapy lasts for several weeks or even months.
Medical massage requires an individual approach to each patient, that is, factors such as age, general condition, existing diseases must be taken into account, on the basis of which the doctor writes out a conclusion and determines one or another type of massage.

When is a medical massage prescribed?

As mentioned earlier, medical massage should be prescribed only by the attending physician or other highly qualified specialist, relying on the patient's condition and disease. It should be recognized that this type of treatment has practically no boundaries for its application. Its effectiveness has been proven in the following cases:

diseases of the cardiovascular system (heart disease, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris);
high or low blood pressure;
diseases of the nervous system (atherosclerosis, cerebral palsy, local lesions of the nervous system, osteochondrosis);
diseases of the musculoskeletal system;
inflammatory processes in the joints, including chronic ones;
fractures, bruises, injuries and dislocations in the rehabilitation phase to eliminate their consequences and all kinds of functional disorders (lost joint mobility, scar tissue formation);
violation of posture;
neuritis or neuralgia that are not in the stage of exacerbation;
salt deposits;
severe headaches;
diseases of the digestive tract (gastritis, stomach or duodenal ulcer, colitis, impaired motor function of the large intestine);
respiratory tract diseases (bronchitis, asthma, pneumonia in the convalescent phase);
problems in gynecology, ophthalmology, dermatology;
tears of muscle tissue, which are accompanied by hemorrhages or their necrosis;
obesity;
flat feet.

What a patient should know when coming to a therapeutic massage session.

take a shower before the massage, as the skin must be clean;
medical massage is performed at least one hour after the last meal. And, for example, if the abdominal area is massaged, then the session is carried out no earlier than three hours later;
after the session, it is recommended to lie down for ten minutes and refrain from eating for at least half an hour;
on the part of the body that will be exposed, there should be no open wounds - cuts, scratches, burns, otherwise the massage will not only be very painful, but there is also a possibility of infection. By the way, it is for this reason that experts do not recommend shaving your hair before the massage;
for the effect of the massage to be more effective, during the procedure, do not strain the muscles, but, on the contrary, relax them as much as possible;
before the massage, it is better to remove all jewelry from the body so that they do not interfere with the masseur and do not distort the effect of devices during apparatus treatment.

Are there any contraindications to medical massage?

There are many more contraindications to medical massage than restrictions to the use of classical or, for example, cosmetic massage. This is due to the fact that other types of massage are done to people not in order to cure any disease, but in order to prevent, prevent disease, generally strengthen the body, or eliminate not so significant problems.

While therapeutic massage is prescribed to patients, which means that this means of therapy should be approached especially carefully, so that it does not harm, but benefits the patient. So, medical massage cannot be used in the following cases:

in the presence of benign or malignant formations;
during the period of an acute course of any disease, since at this time the body is very weakened, and additional effects can negatively affect the work of its systems and organs;
at high temperature and acute febrile condition;
in the presence of various diseases of the skin, especially if there are any rashes or foci in the place that will be massaged;
during critical conditions that pose a direct threat to the health and life of the patient (stroke, heart attack, convulsions, etc.);
with purulent processes in the internal organs;
after recently stopped bleeding;
with reduced blood clotting and the patient's predisposition to bleeding;
if the patient's health is unstable (for example, if an exacerbation of the disease occurs every two days or seizures occur);
with varicose veins;
with a tendency to thrombosis;
with vascular or cardiac aneurysm;
with atherosclerosis of the vessels of the brain and peripheral vessels.

It is also not recommended to resort to therapeutic massage if the doctor has not yet made an accurate diagnosis. Even if the patient has any symptoms of a certain disease, it is imperative to carry out all the necessary tests and wait for their results.

The term "massage" has French roots. It comes from the verb "masser". This word is translated as "rub". Descriptions of massage techniques have been found in Egyptian papyri. The ancient Greeks borrowed this procedure from this people. It was they who began to use massage to treat various diseases. Now it is one of the areas of manual therapy with the widest range of applications.

Most often, massage is used in parallel with physiotherapy methods. Less commonly, the procedure is performed on its own. For example, when massage is recommended for the purpose of relaxation. Today, this direction of manual therapy differs in various forms, which can be explained by fashion trends, as well as marketing successes. However, massage is distinguished only by the manipulations performed. In addition, its therapeutic purpose and goals remain, as before, classic.

Application

For soothing, pain relief, and relaxation of the tissues of the musculoskeletal system;
- to reduce fatigue (psychological and physical), as well as to reduce muscle tension;
- to stimulate the musculoskeletal system;
- to improve lymph and blood circulation, as well as to activate metabolism in the body;
- to enhance the function of the sebaceous and sweat glands;
- to expand the vessels of the skin.

There are various types of classical massage. These include medical and sports, cosmetic and hygienic types of procedures. There is also such a type as self-massage.

Application area

Massage is prescribed to the patient as a therapeutic and rehabilitation tool for such problems:

Various pathological processes occurring in the musculoskeletal system (hematomas, post-traumatic edema, periarticular and lumbago, etc.);
- non-exacerbated type of rheumatic diseases of the motor system;
- vascular pathologies (varicose veins, lymphodema, trophic ulcers);
- diseases of the nervous system (stress, overwork, insomnia, paralysis);
- diseases of the respiratory system (asthma, chronic bronchitis, etc.);
- pathologies of the digestive tract (constipation, flatulence, spasms in the intestines).

The massage can be used for cosmetic purposes to eliminate cellulite and lymphatic edema. It is used for fluid retention in tissues, increased muscle and skin tone, as well as overweight.

Basic techniques

The massage technique includes movements such as rubbing, stroking and kneading. In addition, vibration and shock techniques are used. During the procedure, passive movements also take place.

The massage technique, like everything else in the world today, does not stand still. New methods and types of this direction of manual therapy appear. However, the movements described above are the basis of all recent massage techniques. Having mastered them, it is quite easy to learn any new techniques.

Stroking

Any massage begins with this movement. When performing this technique, the massage therapist's palm should move freely over the patient's skin. This produces a low intensity pressure.

The massage technique involves the use of this movement not only at the beginning of the procedure, but also at its end. Stroking is also performed between other manipulations (rubbing, vibration, etc.). The direction in which the masseur's hand moves should be in the direction of closely located lymph nodes. This technique is allocated from five to ten percent of the entire session time. The main purpose of this movement is to warm up the skin and subcutaneous structures to prepare them for deeper influences.

Slow and gentle execution of the technique helps to calm the nervous system. This reduces pain symptoms, which is especially important for injuries, as well as pathologies of the neuromuscular system. Stroking allows you to accelerate the flow of lymph, as it is performed towards the large nodes of this system. Reception can have a noticeable effect on the skin. Stroking removes dead cells of the epidermis, microbes and dust. This activates the sebaceous and sweat glands. The breathing of the skin, its nutrition, as well as blood circulation are improved.

Trituration

This is the second technique that involves a massage technique. He follows the stroking. Rubbing is performed with the knuckles, the palm, its edge or with the help of the thumbs. During this session, considerable pressure should be exerted on the patient's skin. The purpose of rubbing is to affect the deep layers of the skin.

There are a great many options for performing this technique. Rubbing can be deep and superficial, spiral and spitz, as well as with two-handed pressure and comb-like.

The classical massage technique uses this technique to stretch and displace tissues in different directions. When rubbing the patient, the specialist's hands do not slip on the skin. They have to shift and shift it. For this technique, the classical massage technique is allocated thirty to forty percent of the time of the entire session.

Stretching and displacement of tissues promotes vasodilation, which is a prerequisite for increased blood circulation. As a rule, the patient's skin temperature rises by one to two degrees. Tissues receive more oxygen and nutrients, and also get rid of various toxins faster.

Classic therapeutic massage includes rubbing as an opportunity for faster resorption of pathological deposits, as well as scars and fluid accumulated in the tissues. Vigorous movements can significantly increase muscle tone.

Rubbing is the main technique when massaging joints. This procedure is especially useful after injury. It allows you to increase the mobility of the joint. Rubbing reduces the excitability of the nervous system. In addition, this technique can significantly reduce pain in neuralgia and neuritis. In this case, the specialist must perform deep rubbing along the location of the nerve trunks.

Kneading

The massage technique provides for a stronger effect on the muscles and tissues of the patient's body compared to previous movements. This becomes possible when carrying out kneading, which follows grinding.
It is this technique that provides for the technique of therapeutic massage in the case of manipulation in the collar zone. It is also effective on the limbs and back. Kneading can be called the main movement when performing sports and medical massages.

The main task of this manipulation is to grasp and knead with hands those layers of tissue and muscles that are located very deeply. This will improve lymphatic drainage and blood flow from the veins. Also, the mobility of the tissues and muscles themselves increases during the massage.

The kneading technique is very difficult. It is impossible to learn it remotely. The fact is that the masseur needs to determine the state in which the muscle fibers are located by touching the patient's skin with their fingertips. Only in the case when a person has mastered the technique of this technique, he is able to do a classic massage. But remember that video can never convey the knowledge that an experienced professional possesses.

A classic massage for kneading takes up almost sixty percent of the time of the entire session. In terms of its effect, this technique is often compared with passive gymnastics and its use is recommended to eliminate atrophy of the skeletal muscles.

During kneading, receptors are excited in the tendons, muscles and joint capsules, which has a positive effect on the functioning of the nervous system. The nature of these transformations directly depends on the strength, pace, and duration of the massage procedure.

Percussion techniques

They are the last in the main phase of the massage. Percussion techniques are performed by tapping, shaking and tapping with the fingers and hands of a specialist on the patient's body. Rhythmic beats contribute to an increase in venous pressure and a decrease in venous blood microcirculation. If the reception is carried out with the help of quick and energetic blows, then the nervous system is toned, the analgesic effect becomes noticeable. Percussive massage techniques are used as a distracting tactic. They allow you to eliminate pain when treating an adjacent painful area.

With the help of percussion techniques, an effect is also exerted on the internal organs. For example, beating the chest can help lower blood pressure and heart rate.

Spine massage

Back pain is common in the modern world. One of the methods for solving this problem is massage. And it is not surprising that people who have back pain often turn to a specialist for wellness sessions. It is worth saying that there is no such procedure as the spine. The specialist works on the muscles in the back. However, it does not affect the spine.

During a wellness back massage, a specialist acts on the ligaments and soft tissues. Hand movements allow you to start many positive processes in the patient's body. For a person with back pain, the main thing is to relax the muscles and activate blood circulation. This process allows one more result to be obtained. It is the activation of blood circulation in the intervertebral discs. A process is also triggered to restore cartilage tissue. The muscles are relaxed during the procedure, the vertebrae are easier to fall into place. That is why it is able to eliminate pinching of the nerve endings of the spinal cord and eliminate the main source of pain in the back.

Massage for osteochondrosis

This pathology is diagnosed in patients of different ages. Its main cause is the deformation of the intervertebral discs.

Healing is able to help at the first signs of the disease. And no wonder. Pathology contributes to the appearance of muscle spasm, and the gentle movements that a specialist's hands produce are able to relax tense tissues and release pinched nerve endings.

The greatest effect will be obtained by sessions of classical manual massage, which will be carried out with the participation of an experienced specialist with medical education. Such manipulations will relieve or reduce pain, strengthen muscles and prevent the recurrence of pathology. In the event of an exacerbation of osteochondrosis, the specialist will act on painless areas of the body that are reflexively associated with the area of pathology.

What is the technique of such a massage? It involves the use of such techniques as stroking and squeezing, kneading and shaking, rubbing, passive and active movements with applied resistance, as well as shaking and blows.

Purpose and contraindications of therapeutic massage

Massage is most often a complementary therapy in the main treatment of many diseases. However, it is important to remember that a number of diseases are incompatible with the classical vidos of this manipulation (and possibly with other types of it - acupressure, oil, stone massage).

A massage course will help in the fight against diseases:

osteochondrosis;
chronic arthritis;
radiculitis;
hypertension;
low pressure;
decreased bowel tone;
chronic gastritis with low acidity;
bronchitis;
pneumonia;
bronchial asthma;

Therapeutic massage for back pain

Therapeutic back massage improves blood circulation, relaxes muscles and gradually restores the natural position of the spine, even with severe curvatures.

The position of the spine determines the work of the internal organs and the muscular frame. So, the cervical region is responsible for the blood circulation in the brain and the movement of the facial muscles. Thoracic - for the work of the heart, lungs, upper respiratory tract and the mobility of the shoulders and arms. Lumbar - for the functions of the gastrointestinal tract and glands, body movements. The sacral region affects the internal genitalia, rectum and provides balance when walking and sitting.

Thus, working out the entire back or spine by divisions directly affects the quality of life, the ability to move, sit and lie without pain, and also indirectly - on the state of vital internal organs.

Classic massage can be done daily, alternating the areas of impact on the back, or 2-3 times a week, if you focus on one part of the spine, for example, on the cervical.

Frequent complaints of headache, general weakness, characteristic pain and burning sensation in the neck and between the shoulder blades speak of cervical osteochondrosis. The reason for the development of this particular type of osteochondrosis, in contrast to the pathology of other parts of the spine, is not in injuries or weight lifting. The cervical region suffers from improper posture, stoop, sedentary work, muscle tension and compression of nerve fibers in one position.

The course of therapeutic massage for cervical osteochondrosis brings tangible results from the first week - an experienced massage therapist will restore the imbalance of muscle tension, restore mobility and elasticity to the vertebrae, and relieve neck pain. Elimination of the consequences of osteochondrosis of the cervical spine may require 20-25 sessions, and in the future - repeated courses 1-2 times a year.

Massage to improve blood circulation

The characteristic technique of classical massage allows you to achieve better blood and lymph flow in muscle tissues. This is due to the special movements of the masseur's hands - techniques that are divided into stroking, kneading, rubbing and vibration. Moreover, each of these techniques can be both deep, with a large application of force, and superficial, soft.

Regular massage stimulates the tissues and has a warming effect. With its help, you can achieve positive results to reduce inflammation, congestion, strengthen muscles, tone the skin.

Therapeutic facial massage, performed by a professional or on your own, smoothes deep wrinkles and tightens loose tissues.

The tone of the facial muscles can be significantly increased by shallow sliding movements, stroking and vibration along the massage lines:

on the forehead - from the bridge of the nose up to the hairline;
on the cheeks - from the nasolabial folds in ascending movements to the temples;
on the chin - from the center in upward movements to the place behind the ears;
on the neck - up from the collarbone to the chin.

Massage perfectly helps in the fight against inflammatory processes of the genital area, both male and female. There are gynecological massage techniques for women and prostate massage for men. In both cases, it is rather difficult to perform the movements on your own, so it is better to consult a specialist.

Therapeutic prostate massage helps in cases where antibiotics do not penetrate well into the gland due to its swelling. Massaging is carried out through the rectum for 1-2 minutes with light movements in the shape of a figure of eight. Usually 10 sessions are enough to improve the patient's condition with acute prostatitis, and further treatment becomes much more effective.

The popularity of therapeutic massage sessions is due to the fact that, with minor restrictions, this procedure is indicated for health problems and for the treatment of many diseases. In addition, therapeutic and prophylactic massage, when used correctly, does not cause side effects. It is part of a complex of wellness treatments aimed at restoring people who have suffered serious injuries.
