　　Precautions for Yoga Stretching

　　1. There is no absolute standard for Lajin time and intensity, because people’s physiques, ages, and medical conditions are different. Time and intensity are relative terms. It is impossible for patients and the elderly to reach the standard posture at one time, that is, the raised leg is upright and the heel of the lowered leg touches the ground. The important thing is that you must stretch until you feel pain, numbness, and swelling. The effect of stretching for more than 20 minutes is better. 20 minutes of stretching once is better than 10 minutes of stretching twice.

　　2. You must warm up before stretching. For example, using trotting to increase body temperature puts the muscles and tendons in a state of preparation for war. This will improve the effectiveness of stretching and reduce the chance of injury caused by improper stretching.

　　3. For people who often practice yoga and dance, it is easy to stretch the muscles for 10 minutes. However, if the stretching time of each leg is extended to 30 to 40 minutes, various phenomena such as numbness, soreness, pain, burping, farting, defecation, sweating, etc. will also occur. This is a good phenomenon of "qi flushing the lesions", indicating that the treatment is effective, and the stretching and tapping should be continued. It needs to be emphasized that the Lajin time is not the time of relaxing Lajin, but the time calculated after Lajin is strong enough to make people feel pain, numbness, soreness and swelling.

　　4. Don’t pause for breathing when stretching. Breathe slowly and deeply. Pausing to breathe and holding your breath to concentrate will increase the negative oxygen debt, cause uncoordinated movements, and increase the chance of injury during stretching.

　　5. Erythema, rash, blister , dizziness, headache, belching (hiccups), nausea, vomiting thick phlegm, runny nose, smelly farts, smelly feces or smelly urine, etc., are all more severe reactions of Qi against the focus, and are also detoxification reactions. If these symptoms occur, you should take advantage of the situation and continue Lajin and Paida.

　　6. Stretch before and after exercise. Most people only remember to stretch before exercise, but after exercise they feel tired and don’t even want to move. In fact, after exercise, although the muscles are sore, you still need to do another gentle stretch. This can re-condition the muscle fibers, speed up the recovery from fatigue, and the muscles will be in better condition the next time you exercise.

　　7. When stretching, you should avoid outdoor wind and cold, and avoid directly facing fans or air conditioners indoors. During Lajin, the human body relaxes and the pores open, so avoid exposing your knees or waist. Especially in places where air conditioning is prevalent, it is best to wear long-sleeved clothes and pants to keep warm, otherwise the joints will get cold and make you more sick. Sweating during stretching is a good thing, and there is no need to deliberately cool down to perspire.

　　8. Lajin movements should be slow and gentle, and never press hard or suddenly. The purpose of Lajin is to use the elasticity and extension of muscles and tendons to stimulate the nerve messages of muscle spindle nerves and tendon receptor bodies, thereby gradually increasing the stretching potential and tolerance.

　　9. Whether it is rhythmic or fixed (continuous for more than 30 seconds), as long as it is gentle, it will be effective. The most taboo thing is to press the tendons that cannot be stretched or pressed violently in order to achieve quick results, or to have others apply external force to help. As long as you use improper force, it will cause harm.

　　10. For people who have difficulty landing on their feet during Lajin in a lying position, the knees and legs can be turned slightly outward to reduce pain. However, after landing on the ground, they should try their best to lift the legs up and inward until the legs are completely together and cannot outward to form an outward figure.

　　11. Patients with high blood pressure, heart disease, frail and seriously ill people, and the elderly will definitely experience pain during Lajin. When enduring pain, their heartbeat will speed up and their blood pressure will rise. This is a normal phenomenon of Qi rushing to the lesion, indicating that the treatment is effective, but it should not be done too hastily. It should be done step by step. The Lajin time can be from short to long, and the intensity can be from small to large. It varies from person to person. There is no absolute standard. You can put a small pillow to raise your head slightly to prevent blood from rushing to the brain.
