Tuina is mainly a method of health preservation. Nowadays, many parents like to give their children massage. Indeed, giving massage to children can improve abnormal symptoms such as constipation, bloating, and anorexia. Parents give their children massage, but they are afraid that prolonged massage may affect their children and cause harm. So, is pediatric massage harmful in the long term?
Long term pediatric massage can be harmful. These hazards are mainly due to the fact that many parents have developed a certain dependence on massage. When children experience constipation and other abnormalities, they will think of using massage to help them maintain their health. Due to excessive reliance on massage, many parents overlook the enhancement of their children's immunity and resistance, which is not advisable.
The long-term harm of pediatric massage lies in the improper frequency, duration, and intensity of massage, which can cause harm. These hazards mainly lie in the fact that they not only fail to play an auxiliary therapeutic role, but may also affect the condition of foreign bodies, delay the best time for treatment, and thus hinder the improvement and recovery of abnormal symptoms in children.
If you cannot accurately understand the specific symptoms of a child, do not blindly perform massage, otherwise it will also cause certain harm to the child. Of course, massage also requires finding the right acupoints. If the acupoints cannot be found accurately, it cannot have the corresponding therapeutic effect. It is recommended that parents provide massage therapy for their children, and it is important to learn about it or find a professional massage venue to do so.
