Traditional physical therapy massage for the elderly

You can press the temple to bring the four fingers together except the thumb, put them on the face about the position of the upper and lower molars, draw a circle on the face, pat it gently from the inside out for three to five times, and then switch to the other side after one side is finished, and repeat for five times. When moving, if the mouth muscles relax, it will appear slightly open.

Professional acupoint massage is essentially different from other leisure massages. The acupoints of the human body are the same regardless of age. Because the metabolism of the elderly is slow, the repair effect is also slow, while the young people are the opposite. In terms of techniques, the elderly use the tonic method and the young use the catharsis method.
