Useful and healing properties of grinding

Concept of admission. Rubbing consists in the displacement or stretching of tissues in different directions. With rubbing the , the massage hand should shift, shift the skin, and not slide on it. Other slashes, rubbing is the massage of tissues through the skin. At this reception, an average of 30-40% of the time.

Physiological influence. Displacement and stretching of tissues leads to increased blood circulation due to vasodilation and acceleration of blood flow in them. The temperature of the skin increases by 1.5-3 ° C.To the tissues more oxygen, nutrients and biologically active substances are delivered, and the exchange products are quickly removed from the tissues. This rubbing action is widely used for any kind of massage. In a restorative massage session after exercise, rubbing increases blood circulation, promotes faster oxidation of under-oxidized metabolites in tissues and their removal from the body. In the therapeutic massage, grinding promotes the acceleration of resorption of the hardening, pathological deposits and accumulations of liquids in the tissues, stretching of scars, adhesions in the adhesions of the skin, etc. Vigorous rubbing increases the contractile function and muscle tone.

Rubbing is the main method for massage of patients or healthy joints, with overloads, injuries and micro-injuries, which often lead to changes in the joints that lead to pain and less movement in the joints.

Trituration reduces the excitability of the central nervous system. With neuritis and neuralgia, deep grinding along the nerve trunks or in places of nerve endings reduces pain.

Types of administration: 1 ) rubbing with finger pads;2) rubbing the base of the palm;3) rubbing the back surface of the fingers;4) sawtooth rubbing.

Technique of execution. Rubbing with finger pads due to their great tactile sensitivity is a universal technique and the most difficult in technical execution. The brush is placed on the massaged area so that a good support for the palm base is created, which the

should retain throughout the entire reception. Fingers to relax as much as possible, then bend and unbend the II-V fingers in all interphalangeal joints and simultaneously move the skin towards yourself, and then from yourself( fingers should not slide, iron the skin, they are glued to it).At the moment of flexion, the pressure of the pads on the massaged area of ​​the skin increases, and when it extends it decreases, and the masseur's brush moves along the massaged area in any direction, but most often from itself. This is how the is performed by rubbing the fingers with the straight-forward on one or another massaged area. If you add circular motion on the maximum circle to the rectilinear friction with the fingertip pads, depending on the mobility of the skin of the massaged area, this kind of variation is universal.

Thus, circular grinding movements are performed by bending and lateral displacement, and then by extension of the fingers in the interphalangeal joints, while on the surface of the massaged region a spiral is simultaneously drawn as the skin is displaced. The pressure of the fingers increases as they bend and the distal phalanges get a vertical position relative to the skin, and decreases as they unbend and the distal phalanges become horizontal( at which point the fingers move slowly along the skin).

The following are the peculiarities of performing the movements depending on the area being massed:

In the case of a single-hand grinding of the , another hand of the masseuse can support or fix the massaged area of ​​the body in order to promote a better relaxation of the muscles.

When rubbing with two hands circular movements are performed: the right brush clockwise, the left - counter-clockwise and necessarily alternately to compensate for the stretchable areas of the massaged skin.

In grinding with burdening , one hand assumes the position usual for circular rubbing with the pads of the fingers, and the other is placed from above so that its fingers increase the pressure of the distal phalanges of the fingers of the lower arm.

Rubbing with individual fingers is used mainly for massage of the hand, foot and small muscles.

The most common errors with this reception are as follows:

1) rough, painful rubbing;

2) sliding on the skin, reducing the effect of the reception action;

3) rubbing with your fingers, which is tiring for the masseur;

4) loss of support by the palm base, which increases the energy costs of the massage therapist;

5) constant pressure force by fingers( small or large);

6) excessive stress of the hand, causing discomfort and pain;

7) simultaneous phases of movement when rubbed with two hands, leading to overstretch of the skin and unpleasant sensations in the massaged.

Rubbing the base of the palm of the hand with one, two hands and with weights is that the masseur puts the palms on the massaged area and performs circular motions. Hands of the massage therapist should be straightened in the elbow joints, the support for the reception are actually shoulder joints.

With sawtooth rubbing , both hands with the elbow or ray edges of the brush are pressed against the massaged area, and then perform the sawing movements of the hands( one hand goes on, the other on itself).In this case, the hands can slide on the skin. Sensation of heat in the massaged depends on the degree of pressure and skin bias .

With rubbing the rear surface of the fingers , the brush( brushes) is half-clenched into a fist and pressed against the massed area by the middle phalanges of the fingers from II to V, leaning against the I fingers. Then, circular movements are made, as described above.

The main errors of these varieties are analogous to errors when rubbing with finger pads.

When carrying out all types of rubbing, the fingers and the brush of the masseur should not unnecessarily strain, otherwise rubbing will be painful for the massaged and tiring for the masseur.
