What are the cervical massage methods

Today's society is under great pressure and everyone is busy at work. White-collar workers in particular are very likely to suffer from cervical spondylosis due to long periods of sitting at work. Therefore, massaging your cervical spine when you have nothing to do can have a very good protective effect. So, what are the methods of cervical massage? Let’s take a closer look at them below.

Press the head

Place the thumbs of both hands on the temples on both sides of the forehead, and separate the other four fingers and place them on both sides of the head. Use both hands to press and knead forcefully for 20 to 30 times at the same time.

Massage effect: invigorate the spirit, clear the brain and improve eyesight.

Comb the top of your head

Bend the five fingers of both hands slightly and place them on both sides of the head. Apply a little pressure and make a "combing" motion from the front hairline along the top of the head to the back of the head 20 to 30 times.

Massage effect: Promote blood circulation.

Massage Baihui

Use your middle finger or index finger to press the Baihui point in the center of the highest point on the top of the head, and massage it 20 to 30 times from light to heavy force.

Massage effect: Nourishes the brain and calms the mind, replenishes Qi and strengthens the body.

Massage Wind Pool

Use the thumbs of both hands to press the Fengchi points on the same side (the depressions on both sides of the back of the neck), and use the other fingers to press and rub on both sides of the head for 20 to 30 times from light to heavy.

Massage effect: dispel wind and cold, open the orifices and relieve pain.

Neck muscle massage

Raise your hands and place them behind your neck, with your thumb on the outside of the neck on the same side and the other four fingers on the opposite side of the neck muscles. Put your hands together, lift the neck muscles upward and then relax, and pinch along the Fengchi point downward to the Dazhui point 20 to 30 times.

Massage effect: relieves spasms and pain, and harmonizes qi and blood.

Press the shoulder well

Press the Jianjing point on the opposite side with the tip of the middle finger (at the midpoint of the line connecting the Dazhui and the acromion, on the shoulder muscle), then press from light to heavy for 10 to 20 times, alternating between the two sides.

Massage effect: promote blood circulation, dispel cold and relieve pain.
