The benefits of neck massage include relaxing muscles, unblocking meridians, enhancing blood circulation, reducing swelling, relieving pain, and promoting the circulation of qi and blood. The effects of neck massage are multifaceted, addressing several physical issues:
1. Relaxing Muscles: Neck massage can relax tense muscles, relieve fatigue, and restore normal activity in the cervical spine.
2. Unblocking Meridians: With numerous acupuncture points and meridians along the neck, massage can stimulate these areas, reducing cervical spine pressure and promoting the dredging of meridians.
3. Enhancing Blood Circulation: Tension in the neck can block local blood circulation, leading to meridian blockage. Massaging the neck improves blood flow in this area.
4. Reducing Swelling and Relieving Pain: Massaging the neck can soothe local nerves, promote lymphatic circulation, help eliminate metabolic waste, and thus reduce swelling and pain.
5. Promoting Qi and Blood Circulation: The neck serves as a channel for qi and blood to ascend and supply the head. Massaging this area can reduce the compression of soft tissues, blood vessels, and nerves, facilitating the smooth passage of qi and blood.
6.Relieve Headaches: Often caused by insufficient blood oxygen supply, massaging the neck restores circulation, improving blood flow to the head and alleviating pain.
7.Aid Sleep: Neck massage, through techniques such as pinching, lifting, and pulling, relaxes local muscle tension, regulates autonomic nerve balance, induces drowsiness, and aids sleep.
8.Eliminate Local Inflammation: Enhanced local blood circulation from massage accelerates metabolic rates and stimulates lymphatic tissue, aiding in the rapid elimination of inflammatory factors.
