How to become an excellent pedicure masseur

Massage is mainly body health massage and pedicure. Masseurs are divided into junior, intermediate and advanced. The main methods of body massage are kneading, pinching, pressing and pulling. Foot massage has three basic elements: first, the accuracy of reflection area; Second, proper massage intensity; The third is the effective massage time.

The three elements are trinity, inseparable and can't be neglected. Without any one element, the other two elements will lose their meaning. Imagine, without the precision of the reflection area, the massage intensity is appropriate, will it be effective for a long time? No, if the condition is light pressure but no strength, the reflection zone will be pressed accurately, and the long pressure will be invalid. On the other hand, if the force is too strong, the subject will have resistance and will not press it again. Therefore, massage should have proper intensity.

Looking at the time factor, if the massage intensity is appropriate, the reflex zone is also very accurate, but the stimulation time is not enough and the effect is not ideal.

Grasp the elements of accuracy:

People's feet are not big, but they have all the information of the human body. It looks simple because it is not big, but it is accurate because it is too complicated. If you want to do well, you must first have a strict requirement for yourself and try to find the position of the reflection area at the beginning of your study. If you find it right, it will be accurate. If you do something wrong and you think it is accurate, you may keep making mistakes, which is very dangerous. The problem of accuracy is like shooting a target, not only hitting the target, but also hitting the bull's-eye. Otherwise, no matter how many bullets are fired, the number of rings is not high. What's the point? The first problem to be solved by a foot masseur is accuracy, because it is so important.

Advantage elements:

Mastering the elements of strength depends on hard practice and more understanding. The strength of masseurs comes from practice. Knowledge is learned, and kung fu is practiced. Some people always want to save energy, take shortcuts, do not practice hard and find tips when learning foot massage, and the result is very slow. The force seems simple, just aim at the reflection area, but it is not. Massage intensity can be divided into small, medium and large, but in practical application, it can be not only three levels, but also a dozen or twenty levels, because masseurs face people of different sexes, different ages, different health conditions and different mentalities. They have different sensitivities to force. For example, the reflex zones with pathological signals are mostly sensitive, and the reflex zones with inflammation are more sensitive. The same sensitive reflection area will produce strong differences. It is enough to feel sore in general health care. The treatment is different. It must be stinging, dull pain, soreness and swelling to be effective. In the specific operation, the intensity is gradually increased. The purpose of gradual increase is to find out the patient's pain tolerance (boundary), because he can't bear it no matter how strong it is. If he stays away from the pain value, the effect will be bad. Step by step, it is easy to find the best pain and it is easy to control. The masseur should control his buoyancy to get good massage effect. Usually practice on your own feet, which is the process of enlightenment. Different reflection areas have different strength requirements, and only by calling your own feet can you feel the deepest. Practice the sensitivity of the hand in the sensitive reflex zone and the endurance of the hand in the insensitive reflex zone. If you have inspiration, you will find problems; if you have inspiration, you will find problems; if you have endurance, you will find pain; if you have stability, you will have permeability. It is possible to control the intensity best by combining the two, which is the intensity factor.

Time element:

What I'm talking about here is the time of an action. How many seconds does it take to complete the sequence action with appropriate intensity? My experience is 2-5 seconds. Can you understand it this way: pain time = long central signal reception time, strong signal, weak signal in a short time. But if it is too long, it gives people a sense of stagnation and is not smooth. If it is shorter, the action is not easy to do, and the signal is too weak to achieve good results. It can be faster for sensitive reflection areas, slower for insensitive reflection areas, faster for low intensity and slower for high intensity. The principle is to ensure "painful time".

Time factors include other meaning, such as a few minutes in the basic area and a few minutes in the symptom area. And how much time has been spent on the whole, but the most meaningful of these time meanings is the painful time. Of the three elements, only the reflection area is fixed, while the time and intensity are variable. Their changes will cause changes in the reflection area, and things will only change if they change. A foot masseur should be good at grasping the changes of three elements in order to become an excellent masseur.
