What are the advantages and disadvantages of Chinese massage?

2. Disadvantages of massage

Massage places are mostly mixed, especially unlicensed massage stalls on the street. There are many people who make up the numbers, and they are still far from the real massage. Massage is a targeted treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine. People who practice this therapy must master medical knowledge such as physiological anatomy, nerve and muscle orientation, and before massage, they must "dialectically recognize" the massaged person to find out the diseases that are not suitable for massage. For example, people with infectious diseases may cause cross-infection.

Unprofessional people's rough movements and improper techniques can easily cause serious sequelae such as soft tissue injury, joint dislocation, fracture, and even high paraplegia, leading to lifelong disability. This kind of consequence is very common in clinic. "Treading on the back" is one of the most difficult treatments in massage. If the operator does not master the method and strength well, dislocation and fracture of joints such as chest, lumbar vertebrae and ribs may occur, and even lead to life-threatening.
