Therapeutic and preventive massage of the waist

Moving, as a rule, we do not even think about how this process is going on. Once learned a long time ago, a man automatically repeats his movements in space. But at this time the whole complex mechanism of our organism is involved.

Certain muscles are constantly straining, but not everyone can relax them. Here comes to the aid a massage that can remove spasms and improve your health. A massage of the whole body is very useful, but a special role is given to the lower back.

What gives a massage

Why do I need a lower back massage? The tissue, which is saturated with oxygen, is better restored and strengthens the immune system. At the same time, the metabolic process is activated, toxins and decay products are quickly released. Thus, this procedure stimulates an early self-purification of the body.

Let's talk about more local processes, which is facilitated by the massage of the waist. Thanks to him, this part of the body is better relaxed, the heaviness is removed from the muscles, because the lumbar has a heavy load. And if you feel pain, then after the massage of the waist, she leaves.

Avicenna once said that this procedure destroys all unnecessary substances in the muscles, which are not removed from the body themselves. With the help of a massage, spine diseases such as scoliosis and osteochondrosis are well treated.

Together with the activation of internal processes, the intervertebral discs become more stable. At the same time, many organs are affected by the nerve endings, and their work improves.

The described procedure will give remarkable results after sports training. But it should be remembered that since the last meal should take at least an hour.

In addition, a massage of the back and waist will help if the patient has:

• Osteochondrosis;
• neuralgia;
• There are muscle spasms or simply pain;
• scoliosis;
• Problems in gynecology;
• headache;

Unfortunately, such a useful procedure still has a number of serious contraindications. Massage is prohibited if you:

• Severe degree of varicose veins and thrombosis;
• A pathological condition of the heart;
• Oncological disease;
• Various infections;
• Hyperthermia;
• Bleeding;
• Cutaneous lesions.

Principles of Massage

There are areas where you can easily do self-massage. On the back of a fully-named procedure to realize it is impossible. Therefore, it must be carried out by another person. But, of course, before you start the massage, you need to thoroughly study the main principles of its conduct:

1. Massage of the loin is done on a rigid hard surface, on which you need to lay a clean sheet.
2. Hands the masseur washes with baby soap.
3. Before the procedure, a few drops of oil are rubbed on the palms.

A man lies on his stomach so that it is convenient for him. Muscles should relax - then massage will be easier to carry out, and it will be more effective.

How to do lumbar massage

First, warming is done by stroking movements. Efforts at this stage do not apply. Then the intensity is increased. Then the skin seems to be smoothed, moving the ribs of the palms up to the shoulders.

After that, press down on the lower back and massage well in opposite sides. Begin with the top of the buttocks and gradually rise to the top of the lower back. This is done from one side and the other.

You can slightly knock on the waist, avoiding the kidney area, pinch the skin and mash it in circular motions.

Removing the painful sensations help unhurried massage in the affected area. In addition, the movement aimed at stretching the spine will be effective. For this, the palms are placed at the sides, and the thumbs point towards each other. With force, but also by caution pressing on the lower back, hands move down, and then return them to their original position. So repeat up to twenty times.

At the end of the procedure, the area to which the effect was applied is carefully ground with a towel.

Massage during pregnancy

In the first months of pregnancy, massage can not be done, as it is dangerous - complications of fetal development can be caused and even miscarriage is provoked. The procedure is shown from the fourth month, and it is even better to do it on the last terms.

In the third trimester, the bending of the spine and the load on it increase, so there are unpleasant and painful sensations. Massage for back pain saves a pregnant woman. But, of course, it is very important to observe the correct technique of its implementation. However, the rules are very simple:

1. All movements are done without pressure, without applying force.
2. Stroke slowly and rhythmically.
3. Mention to pregnant women do not.
4. Vibrations are performed with the help of fingers.
5. The procedure lasts a maximum of forty minutes.

Massager instead of masseur

But what to do when the services of a masseur are too expensive, and there is no one to wait for help from outside? Will save a good massager. There are many such devices on the market today. But you need to choose carefully so that he can really help.

The massager can be presented in the form of a comfortable chair, in which they simply sit down and, having set a certain program, relax. It is also made in the form of a large belt. Of course, these devices are not cheap at all. But in the future, thanks to the fact that the services of a massage therapist will not be needed, the massager will pay off and will continue to help the patient and his entire family for a long time.

There are also compact devices in the form of rollers with a ribbed surface. Usually they are regulated by the force of pressure and amplitude. Therefore, they are universal and can be suitable for different people. Mechanical rollers are also common. They do not need to be plugged into the socket, and the man himself manually adjusts the force of pressure and the speed of the massaging movements.

Thus, even in cases when another person can not help the patient, you can use a massage device to ease your condition. But, of course, the best massage will be provided only by a qualified specialist.

Usually the procedures are carried out by a course, which consists of ten to twenty sessions. Then you should take a break. If necessary, the course can be repeated in a couple of months.
