I don't know how to massage at will now. I suggest that when you feel unwell, you choose to go to a regular hospital for treatment. "26 year old Zhang Fan (pseudonym) said that she had previously experienced neck soreness due to long-term desk work and went to a massage parlor for a massage. Unexpectedly, the body became even more uncomfortable afterwards and had to go to a regular hospital for treatment. Many people like to use massage to solve small problems such as arm soreness and neck soreness, but in fact, cases of improper massage affecting physical health often occur. What are the possible consequences of improper massage? Which groups of people are not suitable for massage? With these questions in mind, the reporter interviewed relevant experts. Not long ago, news about a woman in Shenzhen suspected of causing acute cerebral infarction due to massage caused by casual massage or causing health problems has attracted attention. According to reports, a few days before the incident, the woman had pounded and massaged her neck vigorously due to neck pain. Regarding this, Liu Jia, the attending physician of the Rehabilitation Medicine Department of the General Hospital of the Northern Theater Command, stated that although massage has the effects of dredging meridians and promoting blood circulation, if there are errors in operation, improper posture of the massaged person, and excessive mental tension of the massaged person, it may cause harm to health. Improper massage can cause soft tissue damage in mild cases, and muscle and bone damage in severe cases. Especially for neck massage, imaging diagnosis must be combined during operation, and it cannot be blind, otherwise it can lead to paralysis or even death of the patient. Liu Jia told reporters that some patients have complained of headaches, neck pain, and limited neck movement during diagnosis, and have requested massage relaxation without previous relevant examinations. After persisting in imaging diagnosis for the patient in the hospital, it was found that the patient's diagnostic report showed the presence of cryptoschisis on the second cervical vertebrae, the odontoid process of the axis. Invisible bone fractures and spondylolisthesis are contraindications for massage. If the patient requests a massage without undergoing imaging examination, the consequences would be unimaginable, "Liu Jia said. With the changes in modern people's work and lifestyle habits, the incidence of cervical spondylosis has begun to show a younger trend. The group visiting massage parlors not only includes middle-aged and elderly people, but also many young people. He Shenghua, the chief physician of the Massage Department at Wuhan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Hubei Province, emphasized that the shoulder and neck areas are sensitive and fragile, with a large number of important nerves and blood vessels distributed. If the massage is not applied properly, it may cause damage to both nerves and blood vessels. In daily massage, some people believe that the stronger the force, the better, but in fact, doing so may lead to situations such as fascial adhesions. Jiang Yangyang, the attending doctor of the Tuina Department at Shunyi Hospital of Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, reminds that the correct massage technique requires a combination of strength and softness, and a combination of strength and softness. It is also necessary to determine the size, direction, point of action, and depth of the force to be applied based on the specific disease location. Muscle stretching, swimming, yoga, and Baduanjin can all improve symptoms such as low back pain and shoulder and neck discomfort. If the pain does not improve significantly after self exercise, it is necessary to seek medical treatment in a timely manner, "said Jiang Yangyang. Not everyone is suitable for massage. Based on the theories of the viscera and meridians in traditional Chinese medicine, combined with the anatomy and pathological diagnosis of Western medicine, massage is applied to specific parts of the human body surface using techniques such as pushing, pressing, kneading, kneading, shaking, rolling, and patting to regulate the physiological and pathological conditions of the body, achieving the goal of physical therapy. Massage, also known as tuina, was a traditional Chinese practice known as massage, table machine, etc
