Men's Health Massage Techniques

The essence of regular men's health massage is a physical health care method for men's daily problems such as waist and abdominal strain, pelvic floor tension, shoulder and neck stiffness, etc. There are no exaggerated effects such as "kidney strengthening" and "radical cure of prostate disease" spread on the Internet. Properly performed, it can be used as a supplement to daily relaxation. If someone says that a few massages can cure the disease, don't hesitate to go directly. If you feel uncomfortable, go to a regular hospital as soon as possible.

Last week, I treated a young man who works in game development. He stayed up for three days in a row to catch up on the version. When he got off work, his waist was so stiff that he couldn't straighten up, and even his groin felt slumped. I rubbed his waist for a long time at home, but the pain was so painful that he couldn't even get out of bed. He came to ask me if I have any reliable massage techniques. In fact, the reason why most men need massage is not "kidney deficiency" as rumored on the Internet. It is all minor problems of muscle tension and poor metabolism caused by sitting for a long time, holding back urine, not exercising, and bowing down for a long time.

For example, many people are curious about massaging the lower abdomen area. Old doctors of traditional Chinese medicine usually recommend massaging the Guanyuan and Qihai acupuncture points, which are located two or three fingers below the belly button. Use the heel of your palms against the skin to gently rub in a clockwise direction. The intensity is enough to cause a slight feeling of soreness. It takes about 10 minutes each time. I know many friends who run regular physical therapy centers. They often do this for men who often hold in their urine. Feedback says that it can indeed relieve the problem of lower abdominal pain.； The modern rehabilitation department has a more direct view. This is actually relaxing the long-term tense pelvic floor muscles. After many people sit for a day, the pelvic floor muscles are stretched like a tight rubber band, which causes pain in the waist and abdomen. They also recommend using the fingertips to press the two fingers above the pubic symphysis, and slowly press down for 3 seconds and then release. Repeat 15 times. Special reminders do not press to the death. Stop immediately if the pain is unbearable, and do not force it to cause problems.

When it comes to waist massage, I have a lot to say. I sit in the clinic for seven or eight hours a day and write cases, and my waist is stiff after get off work. I never do the kind of waist-breaking projects. Ordinary people have insufficient muscle strength and can easily cause joint dislocation. What I commonly use at home is the palm kneading method. I ask family members to place their entire palms on the erector spinae muscles on both sides of the waist, and slowly rub down along the spine. The intensity should sink into the muscles, and don't just rub the skin red. After kneading for about 5 minutes, you can feel the tight muscles loosen. If no one is available to help, you can also roll on a foam roller, and the effect is almost the same. There is also a controversial point here: many health care centers like to do vigorous massage on the waist, saying that stimulating the Shenshu point can replenish the kidneys. I specifically asked my colleagues in the orthopedics department. Their advice is that if you already have lumbar protrusion or serious lumbar muscle strain, you must not perform vigorous massage. It can easily compress the nerve roots and aggravate the symptoms. Daily care and gentle massage are enough. If there is a pathology, massage can only be used as an auxiliary, and you must follow the doctor's advice.

By the way, don't believe the "men's exclusive special massage" advertised by private clubs. They either charge several times the IQ tax or hide illegal services. If you really want health care, go to the massage department of a regular traditional Chinese medicine hospital or a qualified physical therapy center. The operator must understand basic anatomy, otherwise you may accidentally press the carotid sinus and faint.

I have a friend who has been running marathons for five or six years. Every time he finishes a race, he always presses the adductor muscle on the inner thigh, which is the soft muscle at the root of the thigh close to the crotch. Many people sit for a long time and this muscle becomes stiff and hard, causing pain in the waist. He presses it with his thumb for 5 minutes every time and says that the pulling sensation in the waist can be eliminated by half. I have tried it twice, and it is indeed faster than rubbing the waist alone. You can also try it if you sit for a long time.

To put it bluntly, massage is a small way to help you relieve fatigue. Don’t add too many messy filters to it. If you usually sit for an hour, stand up and walk two steps, stay up less late, it will be more effective than pressing it once a week. If the pain does not go away for two or three days after the massage, or if you have underlying diseases, don't delay, go to the hospital to see a doctor first, and don't mess around and create problems on your own.
