It’s not that you can’t pat your back at night, but you should try to reduce such massage activities. Because doing this kind of massage activity, it may cause the patient to have excessive excitement, and then will affect the patient’s sleep. The main principle of massage techniques such as patting is through the hollow palm or hollow fist, continuous percussion in the back, so as to relieve muscle spasm, and can make the muscle by the sudden impact and maintain the appropriate excitement. A similar technique is often used to stimulate the muscles before an athlete takes the field, which in turn relaxes the muscles and keeps them highly aroused. Patients are advised not to take the patting type of massage technique at night, so as not to affect the patient’s rest. If the patient wants to massage at this time, it is recommended to take more vibrations, kneading or pressing to massage.
