Children often experience physical discomfort, especially those who may experience discomfort in their stomach and abdomen. Chirping can help children relax their entire body and allow their tense nerves to relax. Therefore, it is a very comfortable traditional Chinese medicine therapy. So what is the correct technique for pediatric spinal manipulation?
The spinal technique is simple, and parents can do it at home. Remove the child's clothes and let them lie prone on the bed or on their parents' knees. Parents stand or kneel on the side of their child's leg, relax their whole body, move their fingers, smile, gently stroke the child's back with their hands to relax the muscles, and then perform a spine massage.
1. Let the baby lie prone on the bed, keeping their back straight and relaxed.
2. The person who has a spine massage stands behind the baby, holding the middle, ring, and little fingers of both hands in a half fist shape.
3. Half bent index finger, use both hands to place the middle section of the index finger against the side of the thumb, and press it against the child's coccyx; Thumb and forefinger facing each other, pinch the skin upwards and twist it upwards at the same time. Alternating with both hands along both sides of the spine, push upwards from the Changqiang acupoint (3-5 centimeters behind the anus), pinch and place until reaching the Dazhui acupoint (the bony protrusion behind the neck and shoulder), which is considered as one round of spinal compression.
4. For the second, third, and fourth times, continue to massage the spine according to the previous method, but lift the back skin upwards every three times. Repeat the action of the first time twice, for a total of 6 times.
5. Finally, use both thumbs to rub and press the sides of the spine from top to bottom 3-5 times.
6. Generally, kneading once a day for 7-10 consecutive days is considered as one course of treatment. Babies with delayed therapeutic effects can receive two consecutive treatment courses.
Chirping children is something that mothers love to do. Regularly massaging children can help them relax their muscles and provide them with a comfortable feeling. So many children really enjoy having their mothers give them a massage, so hurry up and get it done.
