Operation sequence and reinforcing and reducing principle of massage for children

Massage should be carried out in order to avoid omission. Should be light, such as pushing, rubbing, transporting, etc. Then there are heavy techniques, such as pinching, pinching and holding. ; First the head and face, then the upper limbs, then the lower limbs, and finally the chest, abdomen, waist and back.

Massage acupoints for children can be divided into straight line, rotation and vertical direction according to their manipulation, and the principle of reinforcing and reducing can be determined according to the operation direction.

1. Linear direction

It is mainly applied to linear acupoints by pushing and pinching. The general principle of reinforcing and purging is: centripetal pushing is reinforcing method, centrifugal pushing is purging method, and back and forth pushing is flat reinforcing and purging method. Some non-specific acupoints are located on the meridian line, and their reinforcing and reducing principles are: reinforcing and reducing along the meridian direction, reducing and reducing against the meridian direction, and relaxing back and forth along the meridian.

2. Direction of rotation

It is mostly used for massage, transportation and rubbing, and is applied to the face and punctate points. The general principle of reinforcing and reducing is: clockwise rotation is reinforcing, counterclockwise rotation is diarrhea, and bidirectional rotation is flat reinforcing and reducing. If there are two symmetrical acupoints, the principle of reinforcing and reducing is: inward rotation is reinforcing and reducing, outward rotation is reducing, and bidirectional rotation is calming and reducing.

3. Vertical direction

It is mostly used for pressing, pinching, holding and other techniques, and is suitable for point-like acupoints. The principle of reinforcing and reducing is determined by the severity of the manipulation, emphasizing the manipulation as the purging method, ignoring the manipulation as the reinforcing method, and not paying attention to reinforcing and reducing. In addition, there are some acupoints with specific action directions, which are not bound by the above-mentioned reinforcing and reducing principles, such as pushing the three passes and descending the river in the clear sky.
