First, what are the benefits of massage for children?

Pediatric massage is a method guided by the basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine, using massage techniques as the main means to prevent pediatric diseases and provide health care. It is called pediatric massage and belongs to the category of external treatment in traditional Chinese medicine. It has no toxic side effects, is painless, has good effects and is low in cost. Massage techniques can be used to treat newborn diseases, pediatric internal medicine, surgery, traumatology, neurology and local infections.

Second, massage has certain benefits for children. Massage can stimulate the body surface or acupuncture points to unblock Qi and blood, and has the effect of adjusting body functions, strengthening physical fitness, preventing diseases and maintaining health. By pressing and stimulating the acupuncture points and reflex areas of children, they may feel soreness, numbness, and swelling at mild levels, or pain at severe levels. This is a comprehensive reaction caused by massage on the corresponding meridians, blood vessels, and nerves. This has led to the general impression of treatment that "pain means blockage, and no pain means blockage". In addition, the temperature, thickness, swelling, pain, and color of the epidermis in the acupuncture point reflex area can all serve as a reference for understanding children's health.

What are the benefits of massage for children? Massaging acupoints and reflex areas can promote the circulation of qi and blood in the body, which is beneficial for detoxification. It can also improve the skin's ability to absorb nutrients and muscle tension, make the body less tense, and prevent tendons and bones from being injured. It helps the body relax. Human hands and fingers have the ability to relieve fatigue and pain, especially fingers, which are the most developed part of the human sensory organs, so massage for children is most appropriate. Acupuncture points are distributed all over the body. From the top of the head to the soles of the feet, there are special acupuncture points for treating diseases. For example, pressing the Zhongfu point can help relieve children's chest tightness, shortness of breath, irritability, depression and other discomforts. Special acupoints can not only treat single diseases, but also regulate the physiological functions of the whole body and strengthen the body, which is very suitable for children's daily health care.
