Is back massage useful?

It works, but takes a long time.

Use the whole palm to massage, not to hold it tightly, but to use the strength of the force, rubbing back and forth. It is especially effective for hard muscle areas. Grasping and pinching uses half a finger, and uses a grasping and pinching massage up to the second joint of the finger. After pulling the skin, the key is to move the fingers with the feeling of pressing it. Divide it into small parts and move slowly. It is suitable for loose or fat-rich areas. Twisting massage uses both hands and the strength of the fingers of both hands to massage. Use the thumb as the main force and the other fingers as auxiliary to twist left and right and reverse directions. It is more suitable for areas with more muscles and thick fat, and can be divided into small parts and massaged carefully.

How to massage back fat to lose weight

1.Pinch the shoulder well

Use your thumb to press the Jianjing point (located on the back of the shoulder, at the midpoint of the horizontal line connecting the outer end of the shoulder and the spine), and gently support the front of the shoulder with the other four fingers. Use force relative to the thumb to lift the entire shoulder muscle, alternately lifting and releasing. Note that the entire palm is always in contact with the shoulder, and use moderate force to lift the entire muscle. This action can relax the neck and shoulder muscles and has a good effect on relieving fatigue. Using gentle force can also treat insomnia symptoms.

2. Massage your waist and back

Place the base of your palm or the flat of your fist on the muscles on both sides of the patient's back spine (start with the left muscle first, then the right muscle), and do brisk, gentle circular motions. Be careful to apply a certain amount of pressure to the muscle, and do not rub the skin. After kneading a fixed point for tens of seconds, move your hand down one palm width, and repeat this operation until you knead above the buttocks.

3. Lift and pinch the spine

Use one or both hands, with the thumb and index finger facing each other, to lift the strip of muscle beside the spine. Move and lift, and hold while lifting. First, do it from top to bottom (from below the neck to above the hips), and then from bottom to top (from above the hips to below the neck). Repeat the operation up and down twice. Pay attention to symmetrical lifting and pinching during the operation, and do not twist it with force.

4 points of back massage

Place the tips of your thumbs on the left and right sides of the Dazhui point, press with a certain amount of force for a few seconds, move down about one centimeter and press again, and continue pressing until you reach the area above the buttocks. If you encounter a sensitive area, you can extend the pressing time appropriately. Pain points may indicate some discomfort in the body, which can be partially relieved by pressing.

5. Rub Dazhui

Place your palm on the Dazhui point (the depression below the most protruding spine between the cervical and thoracic vertebrae when the patient lowers his head) and rub it repeatedly (alternately with your left and right hands) 20-30 times. This operation can eliminate neck and shoulder muscle fatigue, dispel wind and cold, and prevent colds.

6. Push and press the back

Place the base of your palms on both sides of your spine, with the base of your palms facing inward and your fingertips facing outward, and push outward with force at the same time. Start from the neck and shoulders, push to the shoulder joints and then return to both sides of the spine, and repeat the above operation from a position slightly lower than the starting point. Continue from the back to the waist.
