Why Masseurs Need to Love Their Job
The spine is able to carry a large load. However, negligence and neglect of their own health leads to the fact that 8 out of 10 people suffer from back pain. And even in this situation, not everyone runs to specialists, and prefers to endure pain, postponing a visit to the doctor. It just complicates things.
And today's edition. "Site" will tell How to properly massage the backGiven the opinion of the neurologist and chiropractor Alexander Afonin - a great advocate of a holistic approach to the treatment of any problems. We hope that expert advice will help you make significant progress in the fight against spinal problems.
A variety of massage specialists do not consider the spine as part of the back at all. At one time, in anatomy lessons, we studied the bones of the spine, the shape of the vertebrae and their attachment to each other. But how all this works, how it affects the nerves, how it interacts with the vessels of the brain – no one has studied, says masseur Alexander Afonin.
“It turns out that there are osteopaths, massage therapists, chiropractors, bone-righters — people who interact with the spine without really understanding how it works.” They are silent that classical massage is only a preparation for manual therapy. Massage itself is not an independent method of influence.
As a result, massage therapists promise to lightly crumple the bones and stretch the sacrum to achieve an acceptable effect. But there is no result. After such manipulation, some problems go away and others appear.”
“Manual therapists repair the vertebrae but do not finish it. I have not heard of any chiropractor who once corrected the vertebrae - and the client forgot about the problem for the next 5 years. I'm not talking about 30-year-old patients who still have a huge backbone resource.
It is important to remember that massage is only a warm-up, not a treatment. For example, the patient has pain in the right shoulder blade and the person feels discomfort only in this area. But you need to understand that with this problem, there is necessarily a displacement of the vertebrae somewhere in the base of the neck and necessarily in the chest-lumbar transition either at the base of the sacrum or in the lower back (which is less common).
It turns out that a person has pain in the shoulder blade, a couple of displacements and several concomitant disorders, such as a spasm in the shoulder or a pinched nerve in the elbow or wrist. What does a massage therapist do? A shoulder change. The patient feels relieved. But how did the specialist influence the root cause, the displaced vertebrae? No way!
In the best case, the discomfort will return in six months. Then such a massage will have to do once every 4 months, then once every 3, then even more often. With all the apparent safety, massage can be harmful. The fact is that from further displacement of the vertebra, the spine protects the spasmic muscle. And if the muscles mindlessly stretch and relax - the pain will pass, but the vertebra will "go" further, the specialist laments.
“Often I had to listen when a person was dented, the pain was gone and he was happy, but he noted that somewhere something was numb. But numbness is a much more difficult situation. Nerve compression is much worse than passing muscle pain.
The patient feels that he will be remembered and everything will pass. But this will help for a short period of time, because the cause is deeper - in the spine. And the same osteopaths that interact with the bones of the skull, with the spine to work categorically do not want. But who then will rule the vertebrae after taking an osteopath? I don't understand.
"Chiropractors - a separate topic. For some reason, these specialists do everything so that the client is satisfied, not to return his body to its natural state. As a result, the chiropractor relieves spasms, can even correct something in the same shoulder blade or shoulder, but does not touch neighboring departments where there is also a problem.
But the job of a specialist is to completely “assemble” a person so that the problem does not return for years. If you put all the vertebrae back in place, straighten all the joints, including the sacrum, and also direct the bones of the skull - this is forever. Naturally, this is not done in one reception. In addition, the patient will have to fix the result with exercises at home. But the effect is years!
“But chiropractors rule only where it hurts without eliminating the root cause. As a result, the client is satisfied ... and six months later he comes back to the reception. How else, because it helped him last time! In terms of money, it's good to be back. However, any manipulation is an effect on the muscles and ligaments that hold the vertebrae.
Why intervene when you can collect once and not touch again? It’s not meant to be put down every month. The more such activities, the less stable the result. A person cannot give himself a load, otherwise everything will fly off.
Previously, there was a holistic system, when the people of the bone-makers relaxed a person in the bath with the help of high temperature and massage, then straightened the vertebrae, and then helped him “turn on” using temperature reset.
It is one thing when a person does not have time and wants to urgently correct the situation with the help of massage for a short time. But to create illusions that regular massage will solve the problem forever is stupid. Because There are no chronic spasms without displacement of the vertebrae, Alexander Afonin is sure.
We recently talked about how to do this. Proper back massage at home In just 6 minutes. And also shared a whole range of exercises for the back with the effect of massage. Very useful body movements for those who lead a sedentary lifestyle.
