Deep acupressure. Chinese acupressure video. Shoulder and shoulder girdle

Basis chinese medicine  is a special understanding of man and his relationship to the world. For a long time  Chinese culture was mysterious and mystical for Europeans, and those who used Chinese methods for treatment were not taken seriously and were considered charlatans and magicians. But gradually the opinion changed, and at the beginning of the 20th century, the first books on methods of treatment with the help of acupressure, acupuncture, etc. began to appear in the West.

Chinese healers considered the human body to be a bioenergy system that can be controlled using specific points and specific methods. It is believed that the human body is capable of self-healing. But man does not always know how to deal with the healing powers of his body. In this case, acupressure will help restore the action of such forces.

Chinese medicine sees the basis of human health in the free and unhindered circulation of vital energy in the body. Violation, weakening it leads to the emergence and development of the disease. The reasons for all kinds of violations can be many: nervous strain, unhealthy diet, injury, etc.

The basis of acupressure is based on the same principle as the basis of acupuncture and cauterization, with the only difference that during a massage, "vital points" are exposed to the tip of a finger without damaging the skin. There are more than 700 such points described, but about 150 are most often used.

They are divided into the following groups:

Calm Points (with their help, excess energy is removed);

Harmonization points (they harmonize energy in all groups of organs);

Tonic points (they are used to raise the body’s energy);

Special points (for some diseases are very important; located outside the energy channels).

Acupressure conditions

Massage should be carried out in a warm, well-ventilated area.

At the same time it is necessary to exclude the presence of unnecessary irritants: (TV, radio, telephone).

You can not engage in massage immediately after taking a meal and with great fatigue.

Hands of the masseur should be clean and warm, with short cropped nails, so as not to leave scratches on the body and not cause irritation of the skin.

You should not massage a few points in a row. In order to feel the effect of massage, you need at least 15 minutes.

The duration of the massage depends on the age and energy of the person. Massage time can be from one to ten minutes.

Acupressure  can be carried out both by specially trained personnel, and by the patient who has mastered certain skills.

What you need to pay special attention

Absolute contraindications for acupressure are the following states: the presence of malignant or benign neoplasms; acute febrile illness; active forms of tuberculosis; blood diseases.

Relative contraindications are: the presence of gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer; severe exhaustion; severe heart, kidney and lung diseases.

There are dangerous points, massaging which can harm the body; so, during pregnancy (depending on the period), either abortion or premature birth can occur.

If skin diseases are present at the massage points, then these points should not be massaged.

It must be remembered that the main task of acupressure is to maintain the vitality of the body, and therefore, health.

How to determine the desired point

To do this, you must have very sensitive fingers. In some cases, the place where the point is located is a little painful or there are small indentations. The body itself will tell you how correctly you groped the point.

Acupressure techniques

It is necessary to influence a finger accurately, perpendicularly to a surface of skin and strictly in the specified point. The following methods are applicable:

The touch is a light, non-stop stroking;

Light pressure - using the weight of a finger or hand;

Acupressure Technique

Finger movement can be horizontally-rotating clockwise or vibrating, but should always be non-stop.

The pressure is produced by the thumb pad and (or) the middle finger. Two main methods are used:

1) soothing - continuous exposure; smooth, slow, rotational movements with a gradual increase in the force of pressure and delay of a finger at the depth. Reception is repeated 3-4 times with the return each time to the original position, without lifting the finger from the point.

As a rule, the duration of the "soothing pressure" is 3-5 minutes;

2) toning - short, strong pressure and quick, sharp removal of a finger from a point.

The duration of such exposure is usually 1 / 2-1 minute.

Known methods of massage movements that tighten the skin of the face, restore brain activity, help to improve blood circulation and the human motor apparatus.

You can continue this list further, but   talk about the new methodology developed by the Academy of Natural Sciences professor, Director of the Institute for Problems of Neuroendocrine Immune Deficiency Alla Alekseevna Umanskaya. It was she who was able to create a method that has passed clinical trials at research institutes and has proven its effectiveness. Acupressure on Umanskoy especially useful during periods of seasons. It was at this time that the incidence increases several times, and it can also have a beneficial effect on the entire body.

Acupressure on the system Umanskaya itself is designed to improve the immune system of the child. However, if applied to adults, the effect will be the same. Before creating her method, the professor set the tasks that should be solved by this method.

2. Massage should be performed through pressure on bioactive points.
3. The basis of massage actions is taken from Chinese medicine, which is already more than 5 thousand years old.
4. Similarity should be with acupuncture, only all actions are carried out with your fingers.

As we can see, A. A. Umanskaya, knowing the effectiveness of Japanese massages and acupuncture, was able to combine the useful with the pleasant. The use of additional tools and devices is not required, which simplifies the procedure. The main task was nevertheless set the opportunity to use acupressure according to the method of a professor of the Academy of Natural Sciences for children in infancy. This is possible thanks to that. What is a direct impact on blood circulation. It is enhanced.

If the rules are not executed, then there will be no effect. It can harm health. Therefore, when starting to use this method in your practice, you must strictly monitor the implementation of norms and actions.

On the human body to be a huge number of points conducive to improving well-being and recuperation. For her massage, Umanskaya chose only 9 active zones, on which there is a certain number of points contributing to the improvement of immunity. The calculation was made right, the immune system being the basis of the foundation of the whole human body. Thanks to its strengthening, it is possible to conquer more diseases.

Zone number 1. Located in the middle of the chest. Influencing this zone, there is an improvement in blood circulation. Work is done with the trachea, bronchi and bone marrow of the sternum.

Mood and behavior get better. The height and weight of the child returns to normal with underdevelopment or after illness. Zone number 7 is located below the eyebrows, and zone number 8 is located on auricle  near the cartilaginous protrusion.

Zone 9 is located in the area of ​​the hands. It has long been known that a huge number of points have been discovered on the hands, which have a beneficial effect on the normalization of pressure and heart muscle. But that's not all. There is a connection with the whole organism. Massage in this area of ​​the body (especially the index and middle fingers) helps to restore brain activity. It is here that most of the connection with the pituitary gland. This zone fixes the effect of the entire massage.

All these zones are responsible for human activity. Improvement is observed in the work of the pituitary, blood circulation, lungs, bronchi, vision, hearing, and all other organs and emotional background that are important for a person.

For such recreational activities, the caregiver needs to undergo additional training on the implementation and implementation of massage in Uman.

One of the most famous methods from Eastern medicine is Chinese acupressure. It is based on the theory of biologically active points of the body and methods of restoring energy circulation, when exposed to these points. Along with acupuncture and cauterization, acupressure is part of the system of zhenju therapy that originated many centuries ago. Apply the method initially for diagnosis - identify problem areas, and then for treatment.

Chinese acupressure video

Chinese acupressure has been studied and improved over many millennia. Initially, folk healers found that by pressing on certain points you can relieve pain in organs and parts of the body that are significantly removed from the place of impact. Imperically, the basic rules and methods of massage were derived. And only a century later, acupressure is used in connection with pharmacology, anatomy and psychology.

The main purpose of the massage is to affect certain points of a person for the treatment and prevention of a wide range of diseases. According to the theory of massage, there are 20 channels on the human body: 12 classic and 8 wonderful. It is through these channels that the blood and vital energy of Qi moves. All classic channels are connected with some human organs. Wonderful channels are a kind of "reservoir" of energy. When there is a surplus of energy in the classical channel, it enters the reservoir, and at a shortage it is replenished back. Acupressure is aimed precisely at establishing a balance of energy in the channels, regulating fluid in the body.

In the video Klimenko Lidiya Aleksandrovna (Associate Professor of Medical Sciences) will introduce you to the basics of Chinese acupressure, its features and subtleties.

Evidence of efficiency, detailed technique, affect the point of longevity - in the article.

The main advantage of shiatsu

The possibility of self-massage in any situation and place (at home, at work, in cars).

Having mastered the basic techniques of pressure and learning how to find the necessary acupuncture points, we are able to do our own:

• overcome fatigue
• get rid of mental overload
• remove or reduce any pain
• to reduce unpleasant symptoms  diseases,
• normalize blood pressure
• improve sleep and general well-being,
• increase energy
• improve health,

Proof of shiatsu effectiveness

We refer to the publication of the results of experiments in well-known international publications.

Sleep quality and relaxation

july 2004, the study was conducted in England and Germany. In an in-depth interview, 14 practitioners and 15 long-term clients witnessed the positive effect of shiatsu massage on sleep, structure of sleep and relaxation of the body.

Journal of Integrative Medicine  (Journal of Integrative Medicine):

year 2014. The difficulty of falling asleep is a common problem for people suffering from pain. To participate in the study (Canada) were selected persons experiencing musculoskeletal pain and sleep problems. They were taught self-massage techniques and conducted a survey after 8 weeks.

Participants noted a long-term increase in uninterrupted sleep time, more, including during nighttime awakenings. None of the participants reported adverse effects of the intervention.

Thus, shiatsu may be useful for use during nightly awakenings, as well as at bedtime.

Reducing pain, chronic fatigue, stress

Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine  (official journal of the Society for Acupuncture Research, USA):

2008, the study covered 948 people from England, Austria, Spain. They were provided with shiatsu therapy for 6 months.

Indications: pain in the joints and muscles, chronic fatigue, fatigue, stress.

633 test subjects provided full information  about healing effects.

Result:

• all respondents improved their state of health, decreased pain, stress and fatigue.
• 80% made positive changes in their lifestyle after the introduction of Shiatsu methods in everyday life.
• 16-22% reduced the use of traditional medicine.
• A third decreased drug dependence.

Increase vitality

International Journal of Palliative Care  (International Journal of Palliative Nursing):

september 2013. This qualitative 6-month study was designed to assess the impact of Shiatsu on clients attending hospice day services. Three overlapping groups of eleven patients with progressive diseases received 5-week shiatsu therapy.

The results of the analysis revealed significant progress in the levels of energy, relaxation, confidence, clarity of thought and mental stability.

The effect lasted in some cases for several hours, but in most cases exceeded the 5-week treatment regimen.

Reduced anxiety and stress

World Journal of Plastic Surgery  (World Journal of Plastic Surgery):

in 2013 (Tehran), 60 patients with burn injuries (10-45%) and severe post-traumatic nervous breakdowns There was a 20-minute shiatsu massage (each hand was massaged for 10 minutes).

As a result, the degree of anxiety and pain significantly decreased, recovery was faster.

It is explained by the fact that the pressure on the points causes the production of serotonin and dopamine hormones, which reduce anxiety, also relieves tension from the muscles, slows the heartbeat, normalizes blood pressure and metabolism.

Lumbar pain reduction

Holistic care journal  (Journal of Holistic Nursing):

year 2001. 66 patients with low back pain received four shiatsu sessions and reported their sensations 2 days after each session. All noted a significant reduction in pain and anxiety.

Massage technique

Active participation in shiatsu hand massage gives predictable therapeutic effect: in the hands, fingers and in those organs with which the pressure zones are connected, the metabolism is also stimulated.

In addition, the fingers are directly connected to the brain with numerous nerve endings, and therefore shiatsu perfectly soothes and relieves mental fatigue.

For pressure use:

the entire area of ​​the fingertips

• large ones (they were considered by Tokudzhiro to be the most important and powerful tool of influence);
• three folded together (index, middle and nameless);
• two fingers superimposed on one another.

Palms

Pressed doing  strictly perpendicular to the skin, without offsets and sticking, without "smearing".

“GIVING, not rubbing or massaging!” - so succinctly characterized the difference between his technique Namikoshi.

Pressure force

Moderate. The reciprocal feeling should not cause discomfort and severe pain.

If you do a massage to someone, take such a position that, if necessary, you can control it with your own weight.

Sensations

If the technique is correct, then numbness, aches, warmth, or mild soreness occur in the place of pressure.

Duration of pressing

depends on the area of ​​the body, state of health and specific instructions to the procedure. One-time 3-second presses in the neck, 5-7 seconds on other parts of the body are most commonly used.

Also use another option: pressing last 1-3 breaths. Repeat pressure 2-10 times.

How to find the point

Anatomical landmarks are: bony protrusions and depressions, hair growth boundaries, skin folds, gaps between muscles and tendons, places where the pulse is probed on the arteries, etc. The point may be palpable tubercle or fossa.

Responses in it are different from other parts of the body.

Bruising, numbness, tingling (like a weak discharge of current), pain, stiffness - these feelings are an indicator of the correct definition of a biologically active point.

Pain in BAP may indicate pathology in the associated organ.

Massage preparation

Heat your hands well: rub your palms and fingers together.

If you touch the body with cold hands, distorted reactions occur, which can aggravate the condition in case of illness. Cold - one of the most pathogenic factors.

It is undesirable to carry out massage on an empty stomach (it is possible the syncope) and right after food.

The point of longevity Tszu-SAN ​​LEE

Restorative pair point, belongs to the meridian of the stomach.

Synonyms: gui-se, xia-ling.

The miraculous properties of zu-san-li are mentioned in the oldest medical treatises. This point is deservedly called the point of longevity, as it affects three levels of the body at once, which in ancient China were related to Man, Heaven and Earth.

Through these three energy levels, with the help of very fine hormonal connections, all systems and organs are affected, and regeneration processes are launched in them.

The list of indications is huge:

Zu-san-li - point Emergency care  with fainting, postpartum shocks, hemorrhages in the brain, sunstroke.

Located  at the junction of the tibial and fibula bones.

How to find:  place the center of the palm on the center of the patella, press your fingers to the lower leg. (under its pad).

To make sure that the point is correctly identified, pull the foot upwards, a muscle tubercle should be formed under the ring finger. Lower the foot and a recess will appear under your finger. On it and you need to click.

How to massage:  press simultaneously on the points on both legs for 5-7 seconds, release for 2-3 seconds, repeat 3-4 times.

To work with Ji-San-li is desirable in the morning. preferably in the morning, before 9 am, when the stomach canal is most active. Massage in the afternoon and especially in the evening can provoke insomnia.

Even experts in Eastern medicine advise using the first 8 days of moon growth.

Massage tsu-san-li for a long time can increase pressure. Therefore, people who are prone to hypertension, can be advised massage point Yang-ling-chuan for similar purposes.

Summary

Shiatsu acupressure is an amazing technique: very simple, affordable and effective. Having mastered simple tricks, we can help ourselves in time and restore our health.

Watch for skin reactions, if in some place the skin starts to hurt, then there is a problem in the organ corresponding to this area.
Put your hand in there and try to find the most painful point. This does not require an atlas of acupuncture, the body itself indicates its location.

It is enough to apply 5-7 second pressure with a repetition a couple of times and during the day so that the pain recedes. And this means that the healing process itself is running.

Finally, a tip from Tokudzhiro Namikoshi, who has lived for 95 years:

“In order to live long and full life, avoid prolonged overwork and sleep well enough. While we are young, 8-hour sleep as a hand removes the most intense fatigue.

Be sure to pay attention to - they are true signs of prolonged fatigue and lack of sleep, which lead to serious health problems. "

Preparing: Shiatsu for immunity, youthful face, with various problems.

Massage  It is a combination of mechanical and reflex actions on tissues and organs in the form of vibrations, friction and pressure, which are carried out on the surface of the human body by hand or special apparatus through water, air or other medium in order to achieve the necessary therapeutic or other effect. The fact that with the help of such techniques it is possible to restore strength, as well as to fight against a number of pathological conditions, it was known in ancient times. Today there are a huge number of various types of massage, one of which is acupressure. What exactly is such a massage and what therapeutic effect  can achieve with it, you will find out right now.

Concept definition

Acupressure is a mechanical impact with the fingers on strictly defined areas of the body, namely, biologically active points. To date, two techniques of such impact are used, namely, Chinese and Japanese equipment. Chinese technique is called acupuncture, but Japanese therapy is called shiatsu. It should be noted that numerous advantages are inherent in such a mechanical effect on certain areas of the body. First of all, this massage is notable for its simplicity. In addition, during the procedure, the effect is on minor areas. The procedure can be carried out both for prevention and for the treatment of various diseases. And yet, various techniques of such effects can be combined with the use of a variety of drugs.

The history of development

The process of origin of this direction began in ancient times. For the first time talked about it in the East, namely in the territories of modern China, Korea, Japan and Mongolia. Doctors living in those days, closely followed the work of the human body and came to the conclusion that the human body is closely interconnected with natural phenomena. They put forward the version that the human body lives and functions under the influence of the same forces that are at the head of nature. Ancient scholars have argued that with every ailment the whole organism is involved in the pathological process. If the work of one organ is disrupted, it means that all other organs and systems cease to function normally. According to them, each disease was the result of the body's struggle with pathogenic factors. They included both water and emotions, climatic conditions, injuries, food, etc. in the list of such factors. They set an important goal - to find a way to help the body deal with all these factors. Over time, they found local points and established their relationship with individual organs and body systems. There are about 700 such points in total. In modern practice about 150 are used. At first, these points were affected by wormwood cigarette, stone, needle and some other objects. Then they began to push their fingers. Later, special devices made of silver, gold, steel, copper and titanium appeared. Today, biologically active points are most often affected by a brush or finger.

Technique of

Scientists were able to establish the fact that during such manipulations there is a release of both the pituitary hormones and the mid-brain hormones, endorphins ( natural drugs), enkephalins ( neuropeptides), etc. On the body, such techniques can have both a calming and a stimulating effect. It all depends on the choice of methods. So, for example, with increased muscle tone and pain in the muscles or joints, the main task of this therapy is relaxation, sedation and rest. In such cases, the so-called "sedative" method is used, which involves the product of rotational gradual movements in a clockwise direction. If we are talking about phenomena characterized by lowered tone, then the “stimulating” technique comes to the rescue. It is also called “tonic or stimulating” technique. In such cases, the impact on these or other points is carried out in a certain sequence, purposefully, taking into account all the available recommendations regarding one or another pathological condition.

Basic principles

When carrying out such a massage should adhere to the following principles:
1.   The approach to the treatment of each pathology should be comprehensive;
2.   All treatments should be carried out without haste and thoroughly;
3.   For each patient, individual treatment must be selected.

Features of biologically active points (BAT)

All BAT has its own specific features, namely:

• high temperature of the skin;
• high metabolic rate;
• low electric resistance;
• high pain sensitivity;
• high electrical potential;
• increased oxygen uptake.

Ways to find points

There are 5 main ways in which you can find the necessary biologically active points. You can add to their list:
1.   Topographical drawings, maps and diagrams that indicate the location of the point through special channels, meridians and lines. So, for example, on rib cage  there are 4 such lines in front, but there are only 3 on their backs;
2.   An individual cun is the distance that is formed between the folds of the middle phalanx when the 3rd finger is bent. Men in this case use the left hand, but women - right. Note that this method is used exclusively by the Chinese. They consider it the most accurate. Often, the width of one finger of a hand is taken for an individual cun;
3. Palpation - probing points with the help of sliding movements with the pad of the most sensitive finger. During palpation, finding the necessary point, a person feels heat, increased pain or roughness;
4.   Anatomical landmarks - in this case, special attention is paid to various folds, nose tip, fingertips, bumps, cavities, protrusions, as well as the places to which muscles are attached;
5.   Special devices that are equipped with low electrical resistance. The passive electrode is fixed on the body, after which the “search” is activated. The active electrode begins to move and find the desired point. To the number of such devices can be attributed devices called karate, elap, elite - 04 and others.

Point classification

The direction of their actions are the following types of points:
1. Common points:   these points are the most important. Exposure to them allows you to influence the overall functional state of the entire central nervous system;
2. Local or local points:   they are responsible for the operation of certain systems and organs. Located, as a rule, in the ligaments, muscles, joints and blood vessels;
3. Spinal points:   located along the spine, namely in places where the nerve roots and vegetative fibers come from. Exposure to such points can improve the work of both the pancreas and the lungs, the diaphragm, the spleen, the colon, and other organs;
4. Segmental points:   in most cases, are located in the skin metamers ( dismemberment of the skin or body) in the relevant areas of innervation. Impact on them allows you to influence the tissues and organs that are directly interrelated with the innervation of these segments;
5. Regional points:   are in the area of ​​the projection of the internal organs on the skin. With their help, you can monitor the work of the liver, heart, lungs and stomach.

Rules for the selection of points in various pathologies

In case of gynecological pathologies and diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, they act on points that are located symmetrically with respect to each other. If we are talking about violations of the intestine or stomach, then experts act on the points of the upper and lower limbsat the same time. The points of the anterior and posterior surface of the body are affected by the treatment of sciatic nerve ailments, as well as during toothache and intercostal. Paralysis upper limbs, pathology digestive system, respiratory diseases - in all these cases, the combined effect on the points of the outer and inner surfaces. With the development of lumbosacral radiculitis choose points that are located directly at the site of pain or impairment.

Basic techniques

In the list of basic techniques of this massage can be recorded:
1.   finger pressure ( in this case, the pressure is carried out with a pad of the middle or thumba) with your palm;
2.   light touch or continuous stroking;
3.   deep pressure ( when performing this manipulation under the specialist's finger, a small fossa should form).

Using all these techniques, it is very important to follow some important recommendations:

• stroking should be carried out continuously;
• stroking with rotation can be done with little pressure;
• impact on the point should be done carefully in such a way that it is directed perpendicular to the surface of the skin;
• all manipulations can be performed both with rotational and vibrating movements;
• stroking can be carried out both slowly and quickly, but throughout the entire procedure, the preset pace should be maintained;
• all rotations should be made in the horizontal plane and clockwise;
• deep pressure should not last long.

Rubbing, grabbing, stroking and other techniques

Technique of acupressure involves the use of a very diverse methods, namely:
1. Kneading or pushing:   carried by the tip of the thumb or 2 thumbs. In some cases, performed with the middle or index finger. The movements are circular rotational and are performed at first slowly and weakly, gradually increasing the pressure until the patient feels very strong pressure in this area. After that, the pressure is immediately relaxed.
2. Grabbing the pinch:   This manipulation is carried out with 3 fingers of the right hand, namely the thumb, middle and index. They capture the skin at the location of the desired point and collect it in the fold. Then fold the crease - rotate it, squeeze, etc. All movements are recommended to be done very quickly until the person feels numb.
3. Stroking:   it is carried out by a small pad or thumb. Motions are rotational. This technique is used most often in the area of ​​the face, hands, head and neck.
4. "An injection":   done with the tip of your thumb or index finger, and at a fast pace.
5. Vibration: This manipulation is performed with the middle or the thumb. Finger from the massaged point can not be torn off. Movement must be fast oscillatory. This technique allows you to soothe and excite the patient.
6. Soothing option:   produced by deep, continuous and slow pressing. All movements are rotational and are carried out evenly, and without moving the skin. The pressure increases all the time. At a certain moment there is a pause, after which the vibration again.
7. Tonic option:   In this case, each point is more powerful, but at the same time a short-term effect. In addition, the specialist conducts a deep rubbing with a quick fingertip after each manipulation. So repeat 3 - 4 times. In some cases, conduct and intermittent vibration. The tonic variant is especially useful in the morning, as it tends to increase vitality.
8. Trituration:   hold a pad of medium or thumb in a clockwise direction. This technique is in most cases used after all other methods of such a massage.
9. Brake option:   It is used for massaging children, various disorders of the blood circulation process, as well as for muscle relaxation. When conducting it, each point is affected by about 1.5 minutes.

Note that all these techniques are strictly prohibited to use both in the inguinal and axillary regions, as well as on the mammary glands and in the places where large the lymph nodes  and vessels. If the stomach is massaged, then all techniques should be carried out at the time of expiration. When massaging points on the back, the patient should lean slightly or lie down, placing a pillow under the belly. In the course of the research it was possible to establish that with and radiculitis all these manipulations are best carried out in the evenings. But when developing for help, you should contact them in morning hours. If you are a representative of the fair sex and you are concerned, then such a massage should be started a few days before the onset of menstruation. All acute pathologies should be treated every day. In the presence of chronic diseases, massaging of points should be carried out every other day or two days.

Preparing for the session

Preparation for a session of such therapy involves the very first adoption of a comfortable position. Having taken a comfortable position, the patient should relax as much as possible, pushing aside all extraneous thoughts. It is very important to focus all your attention on the work of a massage therapist, as well as on those feelings that you are experiencing at the moment.
It is important to believe in the power of such therapy. If you do not set yourself up for a positive result, then a specialist is unlikely to achieve it. Even if after the first procedure you do not feel relief, do not despair ahead of time. Hurry in such cases is not necessary. It is important to complete the course of therapy, following the proper sequence.

Massage of hands, legs, chest, face and other body parts

Acupressure of hands helps to forget about fatigue and general malaise. With his help, it is possible to significantly improve the blood circulation process, as well as get rid of migraine and toothache. In this case, a specialist can massage one or both hands. Massages, like rules, brushes, shoulders, elbow joints, fingers, and shoulder girdle. Massaging all these areas is recommended for no more than 3 minutes. As for massaging points located on the legs, this procedure is, first and foremost, an excellent prevention of cardiovascular pathologies. In addition, such manipulations allow you to eliminate pain in the legs, which often indicate the development of fairly serious vascular ailments. This procedure has a therapeutic effect on the arterial and venous vessels, allowing the blood to pass through them much easier. Breast massage has a beneficial effect on the skin and tissues of this area. With the help of such a massage, it is possible to activate blood circulation and return the breasts to their former elasticity. The most important thing during such a session is not to touch the nipple. Massaging the head, the specialist manages to save his patient, above all, from regular headaches. The same sessions significantly improve the overall condition of the hair and scalp. They tend to have a calming effect on the central nervous system. After such procedures, a person feels harmony and balance. Facial massage in turn makes it possible to get rid of many skin imperfections, including its age changes. The skin after such manipulations becomes taut, smooth, elastic and tender. It is very important that all the techniques in this area were conducted exclusively by a professional.

Impact on muscles and joints

Mechanical effect of fingers on strictly defined areas of the body has a positive effect on the entire musculoskeletal system. These or those manipulations can improve the elasticity of the joints and muscles, improve their blood supply and nutrition, and also significantly enhance their functional performance.
With their help, it is possible to slow down certain dystrophic processes in the muscles, which are especially often observed during various rheumatic ailments. Massaging the muscular system, it is important to achieve one single goal, namely, complete relaxation of the muscles. To achieve this goal is easy. To do this, the patient needs to take a certain position in which one or another group of his muscles can relax as much as possible.

Impact on the skin

The skin is one of the most important organs of the human body, since numerous very important functions are assigned to the skin. It is the skin that protects the internal organs from damage. She also takes part in the regulation of metabolic processes. In the skin are both sebaceous glands and nerve endingsand also sweat glands, through which numerous substances are released to the outside, synthesized in the process of vital activity of the organism. Its massaging allows in the first place to improve the secretion of these glands. In addition, such manipulations normalize the metabolism and improve the blood circulation process. Find out that the overall condition of your skin has improved, will help its pink color, as well as its elasticity and smoothness. Equally important in this case is muscle tone, which after such sessions should increase.

Effect on the cardiovascular system

The positive effect of such manipulations on the cardiovascular system is reflected in the redistribution of blood in both tissues and organs. The blood from the internal organs begins to flow to the skin and muscles. As a result, peripheral vasodilation is observed, which in turn greatly facilitates the work of the heart. Such sessions also help to improve the blood supply to the heart muscle, improve metabolism, increase the absorption of oxygen by the tissues, and reduce congestion in the large and small circulation circles. After such procedures, an increase in the discharge capacity of the heart is also noted.

Umanskaya method to strengthen the immunity of the child

A strong immune system is the key to the health of your baby! This fact is known to all, without exception, which is why each mommy seeks to use the help of any method that is designed directly to strengthen the body's defenses. One of such methods is acupressure of biologically active points according to the professor’s system. Alla Alekseevny Umanskaya. This method involves the impact of fingers on 9 points, which are located on the body of the child. According to this specialist, it is these points that are responsible for the work of the whole children's body. Impact on them allows you to enhance the protective properties of the larynx and bronchi, nasopharynx, trachea, as well as many other organs. In addition, when massaging these zones, the receptors of the skin, tendons, fingers and muscles are irritated, the impulses from which reach the spinal cord and brain, as a result of which the functioning of all systems and organs of the body is enhanced.
