How to massage comfortably, do you know these 5 massage methods

Massage has many effective effects on our body. It can not only relieve physical fatigue but also enhance blood circulation. However, massage also requires methods. Some people like to go out to find someone to massage them, but want to massage at home but don’t know how to make them feel comfortable. Today I will teach you some methods so that you can have a massage comfortably at home.

1. Rub

Sit in a comfortable position with your feet shoulder-width apart. Rub your palms together to generate heat while relaxing your body. After your palms are warm, place them on the Yaoyan point (3.5 inches on each side of the spinous process of the fourth lumbar vertebra) and rub them vigorously. During this process, pay attention to adjusting your breathing and breathe as deeply as possible to help enhance kidney function. Rub as wide a range as possible. This is not only good for the waist, but also has the effect of massaging the coccyx area. After pausing for about 3 to 5 breaths, rub your palms vigorously up and down along both sides of the lumbar spine, down to the Changqiang point (between the tip of the coccyx and the anus), and rub down to the end of the back of the arms, for 36 times in a row.

2. Pinch

After rubbing, the meridians in the waist and its surrounding areas are unblocked, so there is a feeling of warmth. In this situation, we need to continue our efforts and pinch the Mingmen point (parallel to the navel, below the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra) to the coccyx. During the pinching process, you need to concentrate, pinch and release, and repeat 3 to 4 times.

3. Mount

After pinching, the muscles from the Mingmen point to the coccyx will be in a relatively tense state, so what we need to do next is to relax them. The movement is relatively simple. First, lightly clench your fists with your fists facing up, and use the protruding parts of the metacarpophalangeal joints to rotate and rub the waist points on both sides. First rub it in a clockwise direction for 18 circles, then rub it in a counterclockwise direction for 18 circles. Both sides can be performed at the same time, or first left and then right.

4. Grip

Lightly clench your fists with your hands, with the knuckles facing downward, and lightly tap (until it does not hurt) the sacrum and coccyx with the palms of both fists. Knock 36 times with each fist.

5. Catch

Put your hands behind your waist, with your thumbs in front and the other four fingers naturally falling on your waist. Use your four fingers placed on your waist to scratch your skin outwards. Do this with both hands at the same time, rubbing 36 times each.

6. Spin

Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands on your hips (fingers forward, thumbs behind).
