Self-massage Treats Common Disease

Massage by using such simple manipulations as pushing, rubbing, pressing, kneading and thumping with one's own hands on certain points or in certain special areas of the body surface for the purpose of health care, health preservation and auto-therapy of illnesses, is called "self-massage". Self-massage for health care or preservation is called "self-healthcare massage", that for auto-therapy of illness is called "self treatment massage", or "self-massage therapy". As an important component of Chinese massage, self-massage acts as a remedy by means of stimulation through manipulation to activate the channel, qi and blood systems of oneself. Meanwhile the manipulation process itself is actually an active exercise. So long as one can select proper channels, points and areas based on the conditions of the individual and carry out self-massage seriously, persistently, orderly and step by step, he is sure to achieve satisfactory results. Self-massage can be done in a sitting, standing or lying position depending on the conditions of the individual. The practitioner should carry out manipulations calmly and attentively with a proper posture, get manipulation, strength, mental activities and qi flow well coordinated, viz. mind concentration should follow the channels and points at the area being massaged. When manipulations such as pressing are conducted, one should exert strength step by step to, so much the better, get the feeling of qi manifested as soreness and distension at the channels and points. The hand and the skin of the treated area should be kept dry when rubbing or scrubbing manipulations are performed. Toilet powder or a kind of proper media may be applied if there is sweat. The strength exerted should be appropriate; the manipulation should give one a feeling of local warmth. Violent strength and prolonged rubbing or scrubbing should be avoided lest the skin be injured. Self-massage is usually performed twice a day, in the morning and evening, 20-30 minute each time. At the initial stage of self-massage, general fatigue, especially aching-pain in the manipulating hand, may occur after massage. Those are the normal phenomena occurring only because of inadaptability of one's physical; strength to it. The discomforts may disappear naturally so long as one perseveres in ding the self-massage, which is called "self-exercise" in the traditional Chinese doctrine of health preservation and protection, and becomes skillful in manipulation, powerful in strength and fruitful in attainments. On the contrary, one may feel warm all over, light-hearted and cheerful. Further more, one can, after some self exercises, select points at any part of the body for self-massage and will not abstain from selection of some effective points on hesitancy of "impossibility to reach the points", provided that the motor function of the joints of the upper extremities is basically normal.
