What kind of child massage is reliable?
Massage for children is a health care treatment method based on dialectical theory of traditional Chinese medicine, which can improve children's physique and immunity by pressing acupoints, regulating viscera, dredging meridians, harmonizing qi and blood, balancing yin and yang.
Based on this, reliable child massage should have the following basic elements:
1, with a professional background in traditional Chinese medicine.
Massage for children is an external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, guided by the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine.

To do this, we need the basic knowledge and accumulation of Chinese medicine.
2. Experience as a pediatrician.

What kind of children are suitable for pediatric massage?
Massage for children is effective, otherwise it will not be circulated and widely used. However, it is only a skill and a treatment method in pediatrics of traditional Chinese medicine, and it cannot completely replace treatment. Parents should have a clear understanding of this.

Children with allergic diseases or chronic diseases, easy to get sick with colds, poor resistance, indigestion and poor development have a very good effect by insisting on using pediatric massage.
Massage therapy for children has a wide range of treatment and good effect, but there are also some situations that are not suitable for use, as follows:

3. Patients with malignant tumor, trauma, fracture and bone dislocation should not be massaged.

Patients with severe heart disease, liver disease and mental illness should be massaged carefully.
When children massage, they should not only find the right acupoints, but also concentrate on them, especially to be calm and relax their body and mind. Dr. Wang Xin from the Acupuncture Department of Beijing Baicaoyuan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine said that being too nervous is not conducive to your own operation, and you will gradually become more and more skilled. Just like "Be kind and thoughtful, don't have any floating words", the massage effect will be different when your thoughts arrive.
