Vacuum massaging

To my ideal of a beautiful figure, you can approach for a course or two vacuum massage. According to the doctor-therapist of the Moscow Medical Center, "Adaptation" Denis Reutov, this method is quite effective. More energetic than a typical power massage, exposure is carried out on special equipment - vacuum bell Lockard. The essence of the method goes back to the familiar medical banks. So, imagine that you are more concerned about: a small chest or reservoir in the abdomen and thighs. In the second case, a strong lymph and blood flow triggered by local heating during the procedure. For the body is a great impetus to the work, whereas subcutaneous fat is just a ruin. After all, she is 90 percent of the liquid and simply melts, dissolves at a high temperature exposure. But not all - the residual liquid goes into the intercellular space, and it should be clear already by other methods. However, a start - and quite effective: for two courses marked decrease in the waist and stomach at 10 cm, hips - to 7 cm is not a record, and practice. However, quite often there are individual reactions that are difficult to predict. For example, do not be afraid of some swelling at the beginning of the course - this is normal, acceptable response: and where to get expelled from the body fluids? Do not panic is also due to hematoma - bruise beneath the superficial layer of skin. On their education, incidentally, founded the ancient technique of massage of power - then it was assumed that blood is collected in bruises, harmful. It was removed, and notched the skin. Today this method has replaced the vacuum-massage, which plays the role of starting mechanism in the fight against cellulite. And of course, do not forget about nutrition and active lifestyle - without venturing a course vacuum massage is meaningless. The first two weeks after the course is to avoid bananas and grapes, smoked-salt drink no more than 1.5 liters of fluid, not later than 21 hours, and have to stop altogether in 19 hours. But the vacuum massage not only removes the unwanted tissue, he builds them where we need them. With increasing impact of the bust is not in itself the mammary gland - her massage of any kind is contraindicated, and the tissue around it. And here a vacuum can not do - to consolidate his action, you can add douche and a special massage. Then success is assured: for the course (10 - 12 sessions on average) increases bust by 1 - 2 rooms. Effect is quite stable, since the blood flow stimulates the muscle fibers, and they in turn help the growth of new ones. No hematomas should not be afraid - the impact is fairly soft, but a visit to mammologist required. By the way, it helps not only the girls who dream of volumes of superstars, but also the moms that have finished breastfeeding and want to tweak some form of a bust. Lydia Osokin

Acupressure massing

Acupressure can be done with fingers or with special chopsticks made of hard wood, ebony, ivory, plastic, etc. Wands are usually made with a spherical tip-nick in diameter from 5 to 20 mm. Holding acupressure provides a sequence of changing methods, limited to specific times. Point massage techniques include: stroking, kneading (pp-nanie) points, rotational motion, vibra-tion, the pressure. Usually, the procedure for acupressure begin with stroking the point. Thus it is desirable to establish a finger (or stick) to a certain point ref-leksoterapii without displacing it. Stroking consists in a light touch to the point. This is - as if under-cooking it for further manipulation effects-wells. Duration of rubbing-15-20. Then follows kneading point. This manipulation is carried out pad index or middle finger. At the same brush, make barely noticeable rotational motion. A finger or massage stick with the point desirable to not move. Duration of manipulation amounts to from 30 sec to 1 min. After completing this stage of acupressure, immediately under-stepping to the next manipulation - pressure. It can be done in two ways: - momentary dip your finger in the fabric, to execute pressure on the point - the rotational-translational movement of the finger PLI sticks, like screw-in point. The task - to reach a certain strong feelings. Then, to ease the pressure, again, repeat the motion. Phase pressure is from one to 5 minutes. At the pressure must reach the so-called "induced oschu-perturbations. Depending on the point of application it may be increasing in the tissues, body aches, a sense of passage of the current in the deeply lying tissues or along nerve trunks. After the pressure is vibration. Not Snee-May with a finger point, carry out intermittent jerky movements of the hand, like working with those legrafnym-key. The duration of vibration-1-2 min. After graduating vibration exercise pressure on the point again. The remaining manipulations committed in the reverse order: first - kneading, then - stroking. When selecting points massage desirable to use a point where no surfactant tightness between the vessels. Before starting a point-but we can handle the softening cream PLI talc. In order to achieve a therapeutic effect in of point massage is very important method of Impact. There are brake and exciting methods. Braking technique - a long time and intensity of its effect on the duration of the point completely for 5-8 minutes. Number of points used for single-well procedure - 5-6. As a rule, the stopping method for studying uses for pain of different localization, convulsions, spastic conditions, high blood-pressure. Braking method has two options: strong and weak. Weak version used in nevyrazhen-GOVERNMENTAL pain. All components of the method are carried out in the same sequence, but the feeling, especially the pressure is carried out with moderate intensity, without reaching thus strongly expressed-GOVERNMENTAL provides sensation (ache, a sense of current flow). Should seek a feeling of warmth, distention. If a strong version of braking method, seeking the express feelings - ache, distension, sense of current flow. Stronger version of the Tor-bremsstrahlung technique is mainly used for intensive GOVERNMENTAL pain. Exciting method - short on time and super-strong in strength at the point of reflex within 2-3 min. Number of points of influence in this method-8-10. This method is used for fainting, muscle weakness, hypotension, sleep-validity, fatigue. The stimulatory effect is reached Xia intense exposure to the point, mostly SPO-sobom pressure and vibration in a short period of time. As a result of this procedure, there is a feeling of pain, pressure and aches. It is important to note that due-nye sensations are not the same in the treatment of various disorders. So if, for removing a patient from syncope requires intensive exposure until pain, then acupressure exciting by the method when fatigue is conducted to achieve a pleasant oschu-absorption of heat, light aches.

But I'm not rich and are now at your age do not have even a slave who would do me a massage. " Caesar was touched and gave the veteran a cunning slave-masseur. On the way back, passing through the term, the emperor saw a crowd of people, rubbing their bare backs against the walls and pillars of the building. The emperor asked what they do. In response, he heard that they are all veterans and the poor and nobody to make them a massage. Caesar exclaimed: "You break up into pairs and also make massage to each other!" The variety of types of massage is very conditional. One form of supplements or continues to another, seamlessly flowing into it. For example, a certain lung pathology apply cupping massage. But soon to continue the treatment should have percussion (drums), massage, even with rubbing and kneading of the chest. And, ideally, should also promassirovat certain acupressure points. Despite differences in goals, objectives, methods and concepts, all types of massage are the same goal - improvement of man.

Incidentally, these two types of massage vary drugatolko speed and depth of exposure. 3) You decide to get rid of deep fat? Ruchnyemassazhery designed for this purpose, arranged priblizitelnoodinakovo: a rotating base attached to all kinds of spikes, suction cups, hemispheres, and more. To this massage to be effective, nuzhnozapastis patience, because the end result depends on the intensity of iprodolzhitelnosti lessons. Electric massagers are doing everything yourself, simply click on the button. Moreover, the good machine (device dlyalimfodrenazha, for example) are equipped with a computer, which, proceeding from vashihparametrov, he calculates the amount of pressure, duration vozdeystviyai so on. However, some experts argue that neither odinmehanizm not be compared to massage hands, his experience and intuition. Opening the second Myself masseur In recent years, many renowned cosmetic company escorted svoyuproduktsiyu basics of massage. Like, enough to have a miracle cream, we must also know how to correctly apply it - along the lines of naimenshegorastyazheniya skin: from the middle of the chin to the earlobe, the angle of the mouth ksluhovomu passage from the middle of the upper lip and the lateral surface nosak top of the ear from the inner utla eyes to the top Age knaruzhnomu corner of the eye from outer corner of eye to lower eyelid kperenositse, from the middle of the forehead to the temples, from the nose to the tip of the nose, otspinki nose down on its side surface. On the neck, these lines are located in three directions. Front kremnuzhno apply downward in the neck area, located behind the ear - the same asboku - from the bottom up. Most experts are convinced that self-massage is effective in luchshemsluchae by 50 percent. After all, what is the main condition for massage? Maximum relaxation and tranquility. And you will be able to polnostyurasslabitsya when the head is constantly swirling thoughts: "That seychasnuzhno to push harder, and then vice versa - barely noticeable slip"? The opening of the third. Healing Touch ... I can still recommend a massage ... " - So in most sluchaevvrachi finish their assignments. Heart disease, arthritis and sciatica, osteochondrosis and atherosclerosis, chronic gastritis and baldness - etotperechen can continue indefinitely. Pro-"manualschik" can even specify the diagnosis a doctor of traditional medicine. Connoisseur segmental-reflex massage (this type of massage is based navzaimosvyazi state of internal organs and skin-muscle system) will determine what disease "pesters" the patient, and even warn onachinayuschihsya ailments, yet gave themselves felt. For "interpretation" of health uses such subtle symptoms kaksuhost or moisture of skin, pale or flushed, the tension of certain muscles. Carefully selected and dozirovannyymassazh areas of the skin and muscles of the relevant organs, mozhetznachitelno accelerate recovery. Similarly, treating professionals Su-Jok therapy. This metodikaosnovana on the fact that hands and feet are a mini-mirror "of the body. On them - thousands and thousands of active points on chuvstvitelnostikotoryh experts define the disease and treat them while working on etitochki. Often, healing is accompanied by nausea, fatigue, izlishnimpotootdeleniem. Do not let that confuse the treatment should continue. Massage active points of the feet and recommend to spend a profilakticheskihtselyah - Daily 10minutnaya walking on gravel, sand or spetsialnyhmassazhnyh sneakers. Maybe the eastern sages differed otmennymzdorovem, because I always went barefoot? .. Opening the fourth with butter or "dry"? The question of "whether additional lubricant" link "between rukamimassazhista body and the patient?" experts still schitayutdiskussionnym. Some believe that moisturizers (children, massage creams) and oil (olive or peach) are allowed tolkopri dry skin. A talcum powder (or baby powder) is appropriate isklyuchitelnopri wet skin. Normal skin is the same, which obladaetbolshinstvo people who do not need any support sredstvah.Oni, of course, facilitate the sliding of the hands of a masseur on the body, but have ryadnedostatkov: significantly alter the sensitivity of the skin, meshayutottorzheniyu dead cells and the work of sweat and sebaceous glands. By the way, the secret of these glands is usually enough for a massage. But nurturing creams, masks and other beauty of wisdom is best "internalized" by the skin after pre-massage. Opening of the fifth Ban In medicine, there is no ideal therapeutic agent. Massage is no exception. It can not be done at: · pain and high temperature; · about diseases of the ear, nose and throat; · pronounced allergic reaction, accompanied by a rash or vomiting; · blotchy rash, fungal or other skin diseases that are not identified by the doctor; · uterine myoma or days of menstruation (referring to massage the lumbar region); · mastopathy (massage "neck" area); · enlarged lymph nodes and inflamed veins. In addition, massage is contraindicated during pregnancy and after childbirth and abortion in two months. Opening of the sixth Find a Doctor Massage Therapy - a delicate matter. Should not be accepted for treatment, eslivy not sure of qualification of the doctor-masseur. Indeed, the tactile sense is the basis of a good massage - not an innate gift, it is achieved to date. For example, the Vietnamese Buddhist monasteries, before chemrazreshit student to treat patients, he is charged with the duty to techenieneskolkih years (!) To train your fingers, "months" sand, flour, grass, while examining the anatomy and astrology (on some days, according to mneniyubuddistskih sages stars "prohibit" cure certain diseases). And only after that a student is admitted to the diagnosis, and then - klecheniyu. Of course, you can try to learn these tricks of samostoyatelno.No experts argue that the benefits of such procedures budetminimalnoy. And making a point self-massage, you need to remember their oschuscheniyavo time professional massage and compare them.

There are a few tricks to help you get maximum benefit from the session and pleasure · not in a hurry. · Breathe evenly and deeply. · Relax so ... how can relax only during the massage.

Magic power of massage

The word "massage" comes to us from the East and means "to press, touch his hand." It turns out that massage is the oldest method of treatment. After all, even to innocent babe, banging his knee, starts stroking, rubbing the sore spot with his hands. The oldest description of the massage techniques found in China - they are almost 5000 years. Massage is widely used by the Romans in the treatment of soldiers. Hippocrates wrote about it: "Dry and strong friction increases tension fabrics, rubbing, manufactured by gently and softly, in contrast, relaxes them." Strange, but with the advent of Christianity in this kind of quackery became regarded as a relic of paganism and did not recognize him until the 19 th century. (Though in Russia for centuries used a homegrown method of rubbing a patient in the bath). However, the second its birth must massage the German professor Mozengeylyu and Swede Ling. That Mozengeyl began studying massage as part of traditional medicine, spending countless experiments on animals. Today, massage is called a method of treating many diseases with the help of various techniques rubbing, stroking, kneading, tapping and vibration (shaking). The five universal techniques used by doctors around the world. But giving preference to any particular or specific combining them in the world of massage are several schools, such as the eastern, western, Swedish, esalen, shiatsu. Although most physical therapists do not recognize such a division, not without reason considering that the basis of any massage is a classic massage and if you enter any classification, it is logical to subdivide it for medical, sports, hygiene (preventive) and cosmetic. Warm, warmer, warmer still ... Or why you need a massage? Massage improves nutrition of tissues and promotes their work. This is especially true of skin and subcutaneous tissue, then there is an impact locally. With the active massaging the skin peeled off the top layer of the epidermis, it is cleared by opening the sebaceous and sweat ducts. There is a surge of arterial blood, massed place reddens and becomes warmer. But massage affects positively and at the whole organism. Have you not noticed that, comforting someone in distress, we are a little stroking his head, back and shoulders? Now we prove that these involuntary movements are calming to the nervous system, normalize blood circulation, evoke a quiet, restful sleep. If these strokes do vigorously, we can cause the opposite reaction. Other experiments showed that the weak pressure on the affected nerve (eg, neurology) enhances its sensitivity, and strong - to reduce pain. Massage speeds up the absorption of harmful products and removes them from the body. With the help of massage can excite or inhibit the muscular and nervous tissue. All of this suggests that the massage - a very complex science requiring the exact knowledge of anatomy and reflexology. With various diseases of experienced massage therapists use different techniques. They always take into account the fact that the lymph collects in the body of harmful products and puts them in a prostate (with painful conditions, they swell up a bit), where they are processed and displayed. Therefore, we must know the direction of lymph flow, skillfully driving the harmful substances in the "trap" rather than massaging prostate, releasing them back into the bloodstream and infect the body. Experienced specialist using massage for only a couple of minutes can relieve a headache, lower body temperature, increase urination, reduce the amount of sugar in the blood, calm the patient and the waft sleep. You are Chinese or Swedish? The doctrine of massage came to Europe from the East. Perhaps that is why it is considered that this massage is done only in China, India or Thailand (most recently in the press section of ads appeared, even the term "Thai Massage"). In fact, massaged the same muscle group (they have about 450) and active points (around 2000). The only difference is that in the East, in the same Thailand, culture, massage and wholly. And if the Chinese massage is taken or in secret, then it is likely to get it more skillfully than the Europeans. They'd rather own techniques of massage, including Thai massage is also delivered on a commercial basis and brings a lot to the treasury income from tourists. Oriental massage is often done with medicated oils, herbs. Sometimes it is combined with acupuncture. The Chinese are studying the human body, discovered that life energy flows into it through 12 meridians, with its oceans and marine energy. Knowing their situation, can the energy to throw out "a full-flowing" ocean "petty." Although doctors physiotherapists, who assisted me in writing this article, warn our tourists do massage in the East with the first comer. Many of them have knowledge of the dark and a vampire. At least, even the traditional doctors recognize that their practices have been instances where a completely healthy person, with a few massages in India, for unknown reasons, became terminally ill. Swedish massage, or as they call it, Western is focusing on increased physical impact on the patient's body. It most often used methods of tapping and light strokes. Shiatsu - Japanese massage school, implying effects of fingers on the active points. To do this well know the location of these points. Then we can quickly remove the pain of various origins, insomnia, fatigue, and constipation. Saw and felt, too, need to be able So the basis of any massage on five techniques used by massage therapists, regardless of their affiliation to a particular school. Stroking Each massage begins with a light and gentle stroking of the skin. This affects the venous circulation and lymphatic flow, first in the superficial vessels, then in deeper. If massaged body part hurts, the first few days are limited to a few seconds of massage, gradually bringing it to 3-5 minutes. Stroking the beginning just above the painful place and the further away the hand, the intense Pushing - so is the outflow of blood from the patient's seats. Intake strokes begin to massage his case, moving to a different method, he also ended the session. Rubbing Rubbing do in those cases where you want to crush abnormal accumulation in tissues (ie, bruise, exudate) and get rid of the contents of the lymph vessels. Also, grinding is used for pains in the joints and neuralgia, causing blood flow to the sore spot. Technically, this technique consists of rubbing massaging (as if we're trying to erase the stain on the skin, making circular motions with one, two or three fingers) and strokes (so we aim to exudate in the flow of lymph). In this patient's skin, which lies under the fingers of a massage therapist, too, must move. The duration of grinding - from 2 to 7 minutes. Receiving kneading kneading massage therapists are sometimes called felting. With this method, the impact is directly on the muscles. Due to improved nutrition kneading the muscles, increasing the outflow of lymph and venous blood and an influx of arterial blood. Before and after the kneading of muscles necessarily done stroking. Since most massed most of the muscles, then this method is carried out with both hands. Hands grab a group of muscles at an angle to the growth of fibers, lift it from the bones and rolls from the periphery to the center of the muscle. Masseur makes all the motions easily, without straining your wrist, it should be that the skin is moving (rocking), together with the muscles. This method is used for massage weak or atrophied muscles of the limbs. By the methods of kneading and include the so-called cutting muscle. This is done edge of his hand, and the patient's skin moves with the brush. Effleurage effleurage massage technique rather complicated, since different degrees of intensity of exposure can be achieved pryamoprotivopolozhnyh results. The whole procedure lasts no more than 2 minutes. The effect is that increases blood flow to the tissues, improving their nutrition, but because of the tremors muscle tissue is its excitation, which affects the nerve fibers and reduces (and in some cases, by contrast, increases) pain sensitivity. Receiving tapping used for pain relief from neuralgia, relieving increased nervous sensitivity. Effleurage done in different ways, for example, a flat palm, fingertips of a hand or a fist. And only the soft tissue of the patient, bypassing all bony protrusions! Effleurage massage therapists across the plane of the palm is also called pat. Light tapping can be done on the back and chest, stronger - on the limbs. Concussion and vibration In this method of massage is the pressure on the muscles and nerves, which indirectly affects the entire body. Acting on the muscle, tremor excites her, and nervous tissue, on the contrary, suppresses, blunting the sensitivity (and therefore often used for removal of sciatica). So, wanting to reduce the excitability of a nerve in his course of doing shaking tremors. Pulse of the patient at the same time slows down, increasing the voltage of the walls of blood vessels, raises blood pressure. If you shake the chest increases the capacity of the lung tissue. Technically, this technique is difficult to implement (it is important to keep the rhythm) and use it only to experienced masseurs. Concussion on the pressure points is called vibration. The rhythm of vibration more tremors. Because of the strong effects on the body, this method of massage do no more than 3 minutes. Massage techniques with the help of vibration can be learned and myself, to start using a glass of water on the table. With the proper method of vibration in the movement should come only the central column of water, inappropriate - all the water varies from edge to edge. Recently receiving vibration massage therapists can do with various mechanical devices. However, the experienced therapist, the less he uses these devices, believing that only through the hands can regain strength and energy to the sick person. Do No Harm! The first indications for massage are diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Think of the circus experience Dikul actor, who has returned to life itself, and many doomed and bedridden invalids. Massage helps with many internal diseases, such as diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (excited peristatika), kidney (concussions crushed stones), liver (vibration and shocks contribute to the liberation of the gallbladder), heart (massage increases blood circulation, raises or lowers blood pressure) . Massage helps with diseases of the nervous system. For athletes, massage - the best dope! But there are contraindications. For example, it can not be done in many acute diseases, tuberculosis, diabetes, and suppuration, sepsis, thrombosis, venous enlargement, malignant tumors, in feverish conditions, HIV infection should be extremely cautious with regard to massage the elderly, blood vessels, which are not so flexible, and pregnant women. A good massage therapist - it ... It can be compared with the pianist. As a pianist, sensitively detecting falsity of the keys, the therapist through his hands "sees" all the pathology in muscle and bone tissues of the patient. This is achieved only through practice. No theorist, though he academician, not a massage so wisely and skillfully, as do his masseuse with extensive experience. I remember making daily massages at an advanced stage, I heard of a masseuse with indignation: - All down the drain! - Resented it, stroking my "collar zone." - Well, for what reason did you do yesterday was so nervous? The entire spine "beaten"! I'm all for a week so well dispersed, cleaned, took power and now, please! ... The first touch of the masseuses to your body to provide a false sense of softness and tenderness of their hands. Later, you should feel great muscular strength of these very hands. But choosing a specialist, it must be remembered that over the years, his hands even the most experienced of them lose both the strength and flexibility, and resilience. Although in this case, it is better to give preference to elderly masseuse, knowing the anatomy than energetic, but still not quite literate colleagues. Inexperienced masseuse even simple rubbing can cause a dangerous penetration of bacteria into the lymphatic vessels, not to mention how easy it is to move the skin disease from one patient to another. And do not be indignant, if you take only 10-15 minutes instead of half an hour as you wish. For all of the body enough and 10 minutes for the total - about half an hour or more. But massaging the full program in the first session (especially if the massage is done regularly, once a year or even rarer) - illiterate. When the therapist himself, lung ailments can have a massage on their own. To do this you need only know the energy points on the body (a school of shiatsu) that are associated with certain internal organs. So, if you woke up this morning and you have a headache (the most frequent cause is the stagnation of venous blood), call the influx of fresh blood. To do this a few times to put pressure on the crown, the points located just above the frontal boundary of the hair growth. Then the pad of the thumb can easily click on points along the right carotid artery, descending from the lower jaw to the clavicle (about four or five points) and also along the left artery. Repeat six or seven times. When back pain spread wide fingers and hug yourself around the waist so that his thumbs were back along the lumbar vertebrae. Straighten your back, make a few (ten to fifteen), pressing pads of the thumbs on these points. Insomnia Napoleon gave good advice, which, as history shows, sleeping only three hours. But that it is quite enough for energy recovery. "First of all, - he said - to close in the brains of all the drawers with issues and problems of the past day and completely shut down. Secondly, waking up, immediately get up, not vylezhivayas and stretching." But supporters of shiatsu help myself from insomnia as follows. The thumb of his left hand to push down to four points along the left carotid artery, right - right along. Approximately three times on each side. Then three fingers slightly to put pressure on points along the cervical vertebrae, descending down from the occipital region to the shoulder girdle. Then, his legs stretched out as much as possible to bend and straighten the toes, stimulating blood circulation in the lower extremities. Repeat several times. Carried out massages and slimming. However, for greater efficiency, and make them be the expert. But as shown by experiments, the method of shiatsu massage and a classic is less effective than, for example, regular exercises. This massage local value (the destruction of fat cells) is negligible. These cells are very flexible and virtually not affected by the destruction, as previously thought. Weight lost during a massage by increasing the metabolism, stimulate circulation and enhanced detoxification, and therefore give preference to a general massage, not just massage the abdomen and thighs

Massaging the abdomen

Try to learn some simple techniques of self-massage the abdomen. The results, according to experts, very good. Tells Methodist Clinic All-Union Research Institute of Inorganic Materials, massage therapist, manual therapist Aleksey Zverev. - Getting to self-massage, it is enough to learn quite affordable, simple massage techniques and rules: l Ideal to do self-massage in the morning without getting out of bed, or the evening before falling asleep. l The position of the body in self-massage - lying on his back, legs bent at the knees, feet firmly standing on the bed. l To perform self-massage will need 15 minutes to an hour. l Hands should be warm. l For the massage you need to know 5 position hand (see pictures below). Complex massage techniques 1. Calm and relaxed focus on the respiratory cycle. Deep slow breaths - the belly is slightly raised, after it lifted the chest. Then the abdomen and thorax are omitted. This exercise - a kind of self-tuning for a massage, "inclusion" of the respiratory system to perform the massage. Repeat at least three times. Just two massage relaxed breathing reflex will remain throughout the procedure. 2. Preparation of the internal organs to the action. Warm hands on my stomach and put in a clockwise direction slowly and gently, in circles, "pat" in the stomach: from the bottom of the right hip up - to the right upper quadrant, and then - above the zone of the solar plexus and then along the left hypochondrium down the palm to the left thigh and lower abdomen through the "list" hands on right thigh. Thus, the circle. This stroke has three objectives: calms the internal organs, nervous system and relaxes the skin. You can vary this technique, working on his stomach with his hands "with the weights (Fig. 1), ie, putting one hand to another. Run 10 circular strokes. 3. Slightly bend your wrists and give them the kind of child sovochka to play in the sandbox (Figure 2). Bent fingers, that is the edge "sovochka" action upon the area of ??the stomach and spleen. To do this left "sovochkom click around the top of the left costal arch and soak pressure 2-4 seconds. Then pass such pushes around the left upper quadrant - need three or four push. If you are not experiencing any pain, then activate the therapy, performing the same technique "sovochkami with the weights - two sovochka become one, a thicker (Fig. 3). Second hand increased burden the first - treatment becomes more intense. If and burdening any pain there, it means that you have no gross abnormalities in the stomach and spleen. 4. Massage of the liver and gallbladder. Techniques of the previous exercise, that is, brush pressure, "sovochkami and their fixation, soft and calm promassiruyte right upper quadrant from the center of his chest down to the end of the hypochondrium. In the absence of pain pressures as "a burden". 5. Work on the large intestine. Right-hand "sovochkom" slowly and gently Impact descending colon: from the center of the left hypochondrium to the left inguinal fold. Should use the "break" movement: push your fingers - fixing pressure - a slight displacement sovochka "toward the center of the abdomen. If the pain does not occur, then connect the other arm. But in this admission "sovochki did not overlap, and the fingers are connected with the back of a form of" bucket-shovel (Figure 4). Reaching the suprapubic area, the fingers are connected in a "big scoop" (Fig. 5). Promassirovav downhill to the right inguinal fold, the functions are changing hands: the left is leading, and right - it helps. Thus, we describe a full circle in a clockwise direction - so goes the natural movement of the digestive system - a system that we set up a data device. By the way, if you have an upset stomach, take a horizontal position and do this massage technique counterclockwise. 6. Repeat the stroking - to receive # 2. 7. Now promassiruem kidney. They are located on both sides of the navel and represent two large bean, each the size of a fist child. Fingers in the form of "bucket-shovel (Figure 4) immerse in the stomach at a distance of 2-3 cm from the navel, gently remove them and povibriruyte by relaxing the kidney and taking off her spasm. Three pushes of the "runs" the whole kidney. Vibration is needed because our bodies - no stationary system, and mikromayatniki. Vibrating movements we make the system back to its source, that is, to the vibrationally relaxed state. Massage begins with the left kidney. Some people have kidney slightly lowered. Self-massage experience to rapidly increase the sensitivity of your fingers, and you learn to feel the contours of the kidneys - in a relaxed state, they are well palpated. 8. The latter technique will help guide the movement of all bodies to the center of the abdomen. Massage techniques described circle: from the center of the sternum, through the left hypochondrium arc down, then - through the pubic area - up the right hypochondrium arc. Fingers in the form of a large bucket (Fig. 5) to push and easy to shift to the center. At the end of the massage again stroking, similar techniques 2 and 6. Self-massage for women - a great help in solving four problems: 1. Harmonization of the internal organs, including the effective splitting and absorption of food. 2. Facilitating the passage of monthly - massage is done for 2-3 days before the critical days. 3. Regulation of internal emotional background. 4. Restoration of sensitivity of the skin. And finally - how often you need to do self-massage? It depends on the goal. If the massage is therapeutic in nature, it is the course: every day for 7-10 days, then - a break for a month.

Exotic massaging

< Массаж камнями - новая процедура, стремительно завоевывающая свое место в мировой лечебной практике. В руках массажиста, плавно скользящих по телу пациента, стремительно меняются гладкие камешки: то базальтовые, темные и горячие, то мраморные - холодные и белые. Успокаивающий массаж камнями рекомендован жителям больших городов, в которых спешка, шум и "избыток общения" становятся нормой. Японцы относят эту процедуру к разряду сосудистого тренинга: базальтовые камни расширяют сосуды, мраморные - стимулируют движение крови. Тепло сменяется холодом. Пациенты утверждают, что после "каменного" массажа испытывают прилив сил, сопоставимый с состоянием после контрастного душа. Только действие массажа оказывается более длительным. Массаж глаз и молоко с мятой Современные китайские врачи пропагандируют самомассаж лица, помогающий, по их мнению, справиться с разными пороками внутренних органов. Одна из самопроцедур - массаж глаз и области вокруг глаз, который необходимо делать вечерами для снятия общего нервного возбуждения. Все движения производятся подушечками теплых пальцев, нежно и мягко. Сначала - легкие ритмичные надавливания на глазные яблоки через закрытые веки. Область вокруг глаз массируется легкими надавливаниями и перемещениями пальцев вместе с кожей на несколько миллиметров. При большем перемещении может пострадать кожный покров. Пальцы на несколько секунд задерживаются в глубине тканей, а затем медленно возвращаются в исходное положение. Третий прием - надавливание на массируемую зону и прерывистая вибрация. В общей сложности массаж занимает не более пяти минут. Выполняя массаж, следует учитывать направление массажных движений: от внутреннего угла глаза по верхнему веку к наружному углу и по нижнему веку к внутреннему углу. Процедура снимает головную боль, утомление, отечность вокруг глаз, появляется острота зрения, стабилизируется дыхание. А после массажа желательно выпить полстакана молока, прокипяченного с несколькими листиками мяты. Кожа и стресс Французы, уже несколько лет пропагандирующие антистрессовую косметику, сделали новые выводы. Оказывается, ею не стоит пользоваться курсами и уж тем более постоянно. Оспоренным оказалось и мнение о том, что на лето привычная косметика должна уступить место антистрессовым препаратам. Выяснилось, что самым тяжелым "переживанием" для кожи является не окружающая среда с ее загрязнением и активным солнцем, а отрицательные эмоции. Цвет лица становится тусклым, морщины проступают более явственно, появляются синяки под глазами и раздражения. С этими проявлениями и призваны бороться тоники, маски, кремы и лосьоны, на упаковках которых указано: ANTI-STRESS или DE STRESS. Но использовать их необходимо не постоянно, а только после напряженного дня. Бостонский эксперимент Эксперимент, который провели в Бостонском университете биоинженеры совместно с медиками, показал, что утолщенная вибрирующая подошва обуви помогает удерживать равновесие. В ходе эксперимента сотню людей разного возраста и пола поставили на специальную платформу. Им необходимо было повторять движения за инструктором: поднимать ноги, наклонять корпус - одним словом, принимать положения в пространстве не самые комфортные. Сначала, когда платформа оставалась неподвижной, равновесие удерживали только молодые люди с "крепкой нервной системой", по преимуществу юноши до 20 лет. Когда же пол пришел в легкое движение, то практически все дамы, от самых юных до женщин преклонных лет, отлично справились с заданием. На их лицах появился легкий румянец, а давление нормализовалось. По результатам эксперимента был сделан вывод о том, что виброподошва сможет придать дополнительный тонус организму, благодаря которому человек и удерживает равновесие. Более того, незначительная вибрация - отличная профилактика сосудистых заболеваний и даже инфарктов. Впрочем, это не самая свежая новость для тех, кто увлекается различными способами укрепления здоровья - им наверняка известны полезные вибромассажеры. Американские специалисты уверены, что виброподошвы в самом ближайшем будущем станут незаменимой деталью многих видов обуви. Первыми испробуют новшество спортивные лидеры - кроссовки...

Struggling with back pain

Back pain can be different - from dull to burning and cutting. More frequent whining. When a painful symptoms should seek immediate medical attention.

Segmental massing

   Mechanical stimulation of the receptor system tissues leads to the activation of host defenses in the form of vascular and hormonal responses. This improves blood flow and metabolism not only in tissues that are exposed, but also throughout the body. Segmental massage is carried arms, but also of various assistive devices and aids. Start a massage with stroking of the skin surface of the palm of the hands with bent fingers. In planar stroking, which is held on the back, abdomen and hand in one plane. When bow stroking the brush as it covers the patient's arm or leg. Stroking, as well as other massage movements are performed in the directions indicated in Fig. 28.

When finished kneading commence kneading-way impact on the deeply lying tissue, mostly - to the muscles. Distinguish between longitudinal, carried out along the muscle fibers and transverse mashing, where the effect on the muscle is carried out in the transverse direction. When kneading massaging brush covers the muscle pulls and it produces a longitudinal kneading. In transverse muscle kneading is captured by both wrists, and they are like a scroll with respect to another. There are a number of auxiliary methods of kneading: wallow muscles, moving the, tension, pressure, pinch kneading, compression. Wallow carried two brushes, thus shifting the muscle groups in opposite directions relative to each other. This method is used for removal of pain expressed.

Continuous vibration is carried out in a series of motions in which the hands do not break away from the skin, as it pauses for 5-15 s with an interval of 5.3 sec. In this case, the vibration can be in one place or be moving, capturing over vast areas. Continuous vibration is carried out on the back, abdomen and thighs. To support the methods of continuous vibration are shaking and shaking. Shake applied to the limbs. Masseur grasps hand or foot with both hands and makes sharp, following each other, the vibrational motion in the vertical direction. Concussion is used when subjected to internal organs. In this case, the hands are placed parallel to each other and carry out the vibrational motion, bringing together the hands gradually. Shaking legs. Intermittent vibration is rhythmic, next to each other, influence the type of stroke. It includes punctures, effleurage, pat, chopped. By puncturing the second or third fingers on the type of work on a typewriter with a frequency of depression about 100 per minute. Effleurage - alternating strikes with fingers at a rate of 100-300 per minute. Fingers at the same time are in a bent condition. Effleurage conducted in areas with massive muscle groups.

Massing in Russian

Do you still decide how to actively engage their own health? Maybe start with a massage? Pleasant, helpful, efficient. But what kind to choose? Questions from readers meet specialists of the Moscow Joint Hospital-Polyclinic MC UD Presidential: cosmetician Valentine Mileshina and masseur Paul Gordeev. "I decided to take a course of massage. Began to view ads - head seemed bursting from various obscure titles. Explain what are the types of massage." - First of all, the massage is for the face and body. When working with a person using completely different techniques than with body massage. If the masseuse has mastered only a facial massage, she has no right to work with the body - and vice versa. Facial massage is a plastic, cosmetic, vibration, pressure point. A variety of body massage are - health and beauty, relaxation, sports, lymph drainage. One of the new techniques - Anti-cellulite massage. In addition, any type of body massage can be general and partial. From toes to earlobes - that is the route of general massage. And with only partial worked out the problem areas. Most often, the general is therapeutic recreation or relaxation massage. A partial - lymphatic drainage, which is performed on the thighs and calves. Often partial and total combined. Do, for example, total relaxation and, separately, in the technique of therapeutic massage are working on a problem, say, collar zone. "My girlfriend after a course of facial massage literally blossomed - complexion improved, flaccidity and skin peeling disappeared. Will it help me a massage to become more attractive?" My problems - excessive oily skin, acne. - Cosmetic massage is designed for dry skin. Use it and under normal withering skin. But for a fat it is not suitable. Technique, in which the facial massage is performed, does not solve the problems of oily skin. In addition, before the procedure is applied to the skin nourishing cream, which is oily skin completely useless. For skin, the sebaceous glands which work too active, good plastic massage. More intense depression help excesses of sebum to leave sebaceous ducts. After a course of such procedures pores markedly narrowed, the skin becomes more opaque. Among other things, is a plastic massage talc, which is slightly dries the skin. Plus, plastic massage tones the facial muscles. And its sedative effect is beyond praise. Vibrating massage - he also called massage Jacquet - a cure for acne. He holds extrusive movements, and therefore frees the pores of their content, combats rashes. "Recently, I heard the view that the traditional Russian massage and massage, which make the West - two different things. What do they differ from each other?" Which of them - domestic or imported - should I choose if my main task - to relax? " - Traditionally in Russia, any body massage, but relaxing is done with a deep, thorough study of the muscles. Touch massage tangible, sometimes a little painful. But thanks to this technique strengthens the muscles, relaxes the nervous system, breathing becomes easier, and sleep - a strong and calm. Specific problems, "Russian" Massage can also decide - again make moving the damaged joint, or to correct posture. Basically, this purposeful work - the lot of massage therapy. Massage on the Western model - it's mostly superficial, not "alarming," touching muscles. Whatever called a massage - wellness, athletic - he brings in the main relaxation. Today, in this technique employs many beauty salons. If you offer a massage with the use of cosmetics to any western firm - almost certain procedures will be relaxation. Because massage training master was based on the manufacturer's instructions. Rate for this massage is done largely by hand massage, and the drugs used for creating a relaxing environment. Often use different aromatic oils. If you want to relax, such procedures - what you need. "After the first session of general therapeutic massage muscles ached quite noticeably. Does this mean that the massage was done wrong? Should I search another specialist?" - Classic Russian massage - is a kind of physical exertion. You lie, relax, and your muscles are under the hands of a masseur working. If a professional has worked for the glory - the muscles are simply obliged to get sick. Discomfort usually after the first 3-4 sessions of massage. Soreness after the procedure remains no more than 2-3 days. By 4-5-th session muscles get rid of toxins, get used to the load, relax - and no longer bother you. So that muscle soreness is not talking about errors masseur, but on the contrary - his diligence and skill. And to doubt the professionalism of the specialists did not arise - tips before the first procedure, ask him to show you a certificate for the right to perform therapeutic massage. And yet - this type of massage applies to medical procedures, so do it should be people with medical education. This is also better make sure. Elena Vakhtangov

Antistress massing

Massage helps against stress, fatigue and nervousness. How to do it, says MD, acupuncturist, associate professor of the Moscow Medical Academy. Sechenov Valery A. Ivanchenko. For insomnia, stress and nervousness can recommend the following method. On the morning after washing at certain points in and around St. John's wort oil is applied. After waiting one minute, these places need to gently rub the toothbrush over 1.5 min. - And why should begin with the washing? And at what point to apply oil? - Because washing - is, in fact, hydro, and he best helps against stress. It is carried out. We must start from the middle of the lower jaw. In this palm-filled with water, slide towards the ears. Movement must be very energetic. Then we need to go to wash her forehead - from the middle to the temples. Further from the base of the nose - to the tip of the wings of the nose and corners of the mouth - to the temples, ears. This procedure should be done 3-4 times, and then repeat it the same in reverse. It is very important, because on the face are the strongest anti-stress point. One - in the middle of the forehead, and another - on the nose. It is from these points is always necessary to begin self-massage, especially if the headache.

How to find points

There are two main ways of finding points: anatomical landmarks and dimensional segments (Cun). Method for finding points of anatomical landmarks is the most accurate. When you localize the point is its binding to protruding bones, permanent tubercles and pits the skin along the contours of the major muscles and sense organs. However, the points are not always near a clear anatomical landmarks, so for these points fit the system of division of each region of the body into a number proportional to the segments, which are called "proportional Cun. This division is as follows: human height is 75 proportional Cun (hereinafter - the short-Cun) from the frontal to the occipital border of hair growth on her head in the midline - 12 Cun, from the nose to the frontal boundary of the growth of hair on the middle line - 3 Cun, from the rear boundary of the hair growth to the point of da chzhuy T.14 (located between the 7 cervical vertebrae and a thoracic vertebrae) in the midline - Z Cun; on the back of the rear of the median line to the inner edge blades - 3 Cun; on the abdomen at an average line from the pubic bone to the navel - 5 Cun; on the abdomen from the navel to the base of xiphoid process - 8 Cun - on her stomach from the midline to the outer edge of the rectus abdominis - 2 Cun: - on the chest from the middle to sredneklyuchichnoy line - 4 Cun; on the chest from the bottom of xiphoid process to the jugular notch of sternum - 9 Cun; on the upper limb from the front (or rear) axillary fold to the elbow crease - 9 Cun; on the upper limb from the elbow to the wrist crease - 12 Cun; on the lower extremity on the level of sacroiliac -coccygeal articulation (or the upper edge of the pubic bone) to the popliteal crease - 18 Cun; on the lower limbs from the popliteal crease to a line drawn between the tops of the ankles - 16 Cun; addition of the term "proportional Cun", there is the term "individual Cun. The latter is equal to the distance between the skin folds bent middle finger. WARNING! Localization of points and dimensional landmarks taken to indicate a "proportional Cun, and pricking depth - in the individual Cun" Therefore, in chapter 5 to describe points in the concept of "Cun" embeds a different meaning depending on where (in describing the location or depth of pricking ) applies this term. In addition, some literature you can find the term "fen". Fen is 1 / 10 of Cun and can also be proportionate and individual.

Massage that will make you beautiful

How to choose a good massage specialist? Says the professor, corresponding member of RANS, general director of Moscow BUT 'compensation Center Vyacheslav I. Kondrashin. - The variety of sports and health centers, in beauty salons now offer many varieties of massage. What do they differ? - Indeed, the classifications of massage are many - some experts believe that the 32 species, while others - 16. But for ordinary consumers massage can be divided into bracing, therapeutic and sports. - Tonic, or, as it is called, hygienic massage aimed at caring for the body, alleviating fatigue or emotional stress, the prevention of various diseases. It can be general and local, manual or the hardware, held in different places: from the Russian bath to the medical center. It can combine with the morning exercises, and training in the gym. -Massage Therapy - an effective means of healing various diseases, trauma, recovery abilities of the body after surgery. This type of massage is usually combined with elements of manual therapy, exercise therapy, physiotherapy. Its best done in specialized medical centers. -Sports massage aims to prepare athletes for competition, helps prevent injuries and diseases of the joints, ligaments, muscles and spine. - For what purpose do pelvic massage? - Gynecologic massage refers to the therapeutic effects. It reduces pain in the pelvic organs. It can help you improve the tone of the uterus and its contractile ability, remove adhesions, to correct an incorrect position of the uterus and get rid of colitis, which often appear after birth. Unfortunately, our Gynecology practically not used, because few of them have special training. - How often should you do massage? - Course total wellness massage usually ranges from 8 to 15 sessions. A woman who cares for him, after such a course should do one session every 7-10 days. That's enough to keep myself in shape. - And when the massage brings nothing but harm? - There is a whole list of contraindications. These include cancer, thrombophlebitis, and thrombosis, acute gynecological diseases - adnexitis, coleitis. Not helpful to massage in diseases of the blood in the acute stage of arthritis, fungal, and pustular skin diseases. - How to distinguish a professional among many others, has not started the procedure? - First and foremost, we must ask whether there is a license in massage or in the center, where he works. This applies especially to those who are engaged in private practice. If the sauna or on the beach, making the bracing massage, you begin to bend the body, using the techniques of manipulation - is cause for alarm. Manual massage - a very complex treatment. Sometimes the diagnosis requires x-rays or computer studies. It is unlikely that you will take them with him in the sauna. So it's not worth saving a massage, it is better to contact a professional agency or the person who has already proven itself. Very well, if your friends were at this masseuse, because the license itself - not one hundred percent guarantee. In addition, the professional must hold its diagnosis, even if you come to him with the appointment of a physician. He himself must all feel out and check. After all, it happens that a patient complains of leg and lower back problem. Therapeutic massage is usually done not only the body, and trouble spots. The patient should know that if he had a sore foot, then massaged and she and shin. If a sore shin, and massaged her, and thigh. - It should look like a professional massage therapist, what he must have "equipment"? - First of all, he's always right hands. Cut short nails, no burrs, abrasions, scratches. No rings, watches and bracelets, that is all that can injure the patient's skin. Clothing - clean, comfortable, short-sleeved, usually a medical gown. The second condition - from a professional should be a special massage table. Even those who go to the house. Offer you a massage in bed or on the dining table will only unskilled therapist. In addition, a professional is always available set of creams, ointments, oils, from which after a test for allergies, he chooses a necessary tool for you. Another important point: during the session, the therapist will never expose your whole body. If a back massage, then the legs should be covered, and vice versa. When some part of the body is resting after a massage, its supposed to warm and at rest - for example, pre-heated diaper. This allows you to keep warm and comfortable. After the session you should not be bruises on his body, whatever the methods used or masseur. Some say: "Oh, what big hands at my massage therapist, back covered in bruises!". And this testimony of unskilled work. - What are the requirements for patients? - Massage must be done no earlier than one hour after eating. Before a session to take off all jewelry, it is desirable to remove makeup. After the massage, we have to rest for 15-20 minutes, or make everything very slowly. You may feel dizzy, but that's okay. We must sit, wrapped in a warm cup of herbal tea. Sometimes feel sleepy, which is also good. If possible, get some sleep. Jump up, put on his coat and immediately run into the street do not have to, it's bad. - What should a woman feel during the massage? - Heat, which is poured over her body. A woman should realize that her muscles will not only stroke but also capture, knead, working on them, and in a certain sequence. About klassnosti masseur says that he has a method of work where one continuously follows from another not only in a single session, but throughout the entire course of massage. - Somehow the discomfort or pain may be accompanied by a massage? - Restorative Massage, as a rule, no. At the end of the session the normal sense - the ease and relaxation. Some say that the body they have "rings", others - that it broke, or, conversely, in a tone. It all depends on what goals poses a masseur. During or after the massage therapy the patient may experience discomfort and sometimes pain. However, the third-fourth session, they disappear when the method of treatment has been chosen correctly. With regard to anti-cellulite massage, then there generally should be no pain. Hands of the masseur just "fly", glide over the patient gently, lulling pace. The same applies to antivarikoznogo and venous massage. - What should be the duration of the massage? - It depends on so-called massage units. You may be a hand massage, and may the whole body. Taken into account and weight. Better than the patient, the more time it takes. If a woman weighs 65-70 pounds, then bracing massage, without elements of treatment, all her body is done for 35-40 minutes. Separate sites during therapeutic massage takes just a minute: the spin - 15 minutes, collar zone - 20, hands and feet - about 15-20 minutes. Most for the Russian classic massage time - one hour. During this time a professional has time to do everything. That Thai massage lasts from two to two and a half hours. His principle - work on energy lines. It also implies all sorts of exercises from yoga, sagging, stretch the spine. Interestingly, if in other types of massage the patient is fully or partially naked, then during the therapeutic Thai massage it is fully clothed. In a tracksuit, which is convenient to bend. - Can I use massage to lose weight? - If you promise to withdraw from the hip 10-centimeter layer of cellulite and lose weight by 10-15 pounds - this is ridiculous. Only the cream and massage it can not be achieved. A massage increases blood circulation and nutrition of muscle oxygen metabolism. As a result you lose weight on the strength of pounds and a half - two. Lose weight just by massage, without combining it with a special power supply system, it is unrealistic. If you drastically lose weight, massage you need above all to certain body parts - neck, chest or armpit - does not hang down. The skin will be tightened in a permanent job. Same goes for anti-cellulite massage. It is made by a special technique special creams and oils. And this can be achieved only in conjunction with weight loss diet. In my practice there were cases when people were losing 5-7 kg per month for such a combination. - Should I change the masseurs and trying different techniques? - Your therapist - this is your gynecologist or therapist. Therefore, if you find a specialist who suits you, no need to rush, go to one person. He, knowing your body, can help you better than others.

My Tender and Gentle ...

Translated from the Greek word "massage" means to knead, knead, pat. Despite the prosaic translation of this work masseur creative. The history of massage - it's constant search for new methods and techniques. A striking result of these searches can serve ads offering a variety of massages.

Vulnerability of manual massage - a direct correlation results from the mood, feeling and fatigue specialist. Foot massage has long been used in oriental craftsmen baths.
