If fatigue is not relieved and treated in time, it will have serious effects on the body in the long run. Sometimes it can lead to serious disease symptoms. Therefore, we must pay attention to relieving physical fatigue symptoms in normal times. So what are the massage techniques for relieving fatigue? Today we will introduce it in detail.

Limb fatigue

If you maintain a posture for a long time, limb fatigue is likely to occur. The so-called limb fatigue refers to the fatigue of the joints of the limbs and some soft tissues around the joints. This symptom is mostly caused by excessive exercise, long working hours, and long-term fixed posture, such as mountain climbing, lifting objects, running, and playing ball.

The symptoms include soreness, swelling, pain, softness and weakness in local joints. The treatment sites are mainly joints where the symptoms are obvious, and the treatment techniques are mainly to guide and relax the joint soft tissues, combined with passive movements of the joints.

Treatment method

1. The patient lies on his back with a pillow placed on the groin. Start by massaging the area around the patella and thigh muscles. Repeat the operation several times, gradually increasing the strength.

2. The practitioner's palms are half clenched into empty fists, and then slowly and steadily squeeze the muscles from the inside and outside of the thighs to unblock the Qi and blood in the patella and surrounding areas. This takes about 15 minutes.

3. Press the knee joints, Xuehai, Yanglingquan and Zusanli on both sides with strong force.

4. The patient passively flexes and extends the knee joint to passively stretch the quadriceps muscle, which is beneficial to the recovery of knee fatigue. 5. Finally, the treatment is ended by tapping and thigh shaking.

General fatigue

General fatigue refers to feeling tired all over, weak in movement, and sore and lazy limbs. There are many reasons for general fatigue. The general fatigue introduced here refers to excessive fatigue caused by excessive exercise and this symptom caused by various diseases such as diarrhea, high fever, etc.

2. The patient lies on his back, and the operator rubs his palms together until they are warm, then massages the abdomen around the navel in a clockwise direction for 5 minutes.

3. Apply meridian massage to the limbs, using pushing, kneading and rolling techniques.
