The knee joint is a large and complex flexion joint of the human body, bearing almost all the weight while also taking on various motor tasks of the legs. If you don’t pay attention to protect the knee joint, it is easy to damage, and if you don’t recover well, it will tend to turn into a chronic disease. If you can master some of the knee joint health care treatment methods, and can adhere to the treatment, you can achieve very good results. The following introduces several knee joint massage health care techniques. First, massage point method 1, kneading pain points with finger pressure, to find the pressure point around the knee joint, with the thumb index finger abdomen in the pressure point for kneading, pressure point is located in the knee joint inner and outer, patella up and down and behind the knee N fossa. The N-fossa of the back of the knee can be kneaded with the middle finger. Pay attention to the strength of each pain point, first from light to heavy kneading 20 times, and then from heavy to light kneading 20 times. This technique can promote the absorption of inflammation in the pain point, loosen the adhesion, especially for all kinds of chronic knee diseases. 2, kneading points Knead some specific points around the knee joint, each point kneaded for 1 minute, to soreness and swelling is good. When the joint is edematous, it is more effective to knead the acupoints. (1) Blood Sea Point and Liangqiu Point Location: Lower limbs are taut, the highest muscle on the upper side of the knee joint, inside is Blood Sea, outside is Liangqiu. Effects: Stimulation of these two points can effectively increase the blood supply to the quadriceps muscle, with quadriceps exercise can prevent muscle atrophy, especially to improve the knee osteoarthritis leg lifting weakness, flexion and extension difficulties, the effect is remarkable. (2) Calf Nose Point, Knee Eye Point, and Commissure Point Location: Bend the knee, at the knee, the lateral depression of the patella and patellar ligament is the Calf Nose Point, and the medial depression is the Knee Eye Point. The middle point is located at the midpoint of the N transverse stripe, in the middle of the biceps femoris tendon and semitendinosus tendon. Effects: Stimulation of these three points can increase blood supply and secretion of lubricating fluid in the joints, preventing pain caused by friction. (3) Yinlingquan and Yanglingquan Points Location: Yinlingquan is located on the inner side of the lower leg, in the depression at the back of the high bone below the knee. Yanglingquan is located below the knee, slightly in front of the lateral calf high bone depression. Function: Stimulating these two points can dredge the meridians of the lower limbs and improve the abnormal sensations of weakness and pain in the calves. (4) Sanyinjiao Point and Foot Sanli Point Location: Sanyinjiao Point is located at the high point of the inner ankle at the fourth cross finger. The foot Sanli point is located at four transverse fingers below the eye of the outer knee. Effects: Stimulating these two points can make the lower limbs strong. It has the effect of tonifying the liver, spleen and kidney, and strengthening the body. 3, palm kneading patella to palm buckle patella, in the case of maintaining sufficient pressure, so that the patella to produce inward upward slight movement, on this basis, drive the patella to do circular movement 2-3 minutes. When pressing, it is appropriate to produce soreness and warmth under the patella. This technique is suitable for knee osteoarthritis, chondromalacia patella, knee edema and knee extension device traumatic adhesion, rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis. 4, pinch the quadriceps muscle with the thumb and the rest of the four fingers relative pinch the quadriceps muscle (i.e., the knee on the thick muscle] about 1-2 minutes, to the degree of slight soreness and swelling. This maneuver is effective in increasing the blood supply within the quadriceps muscle. It is especially useful for patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, where the medial head of the quadriceps muscle is atrophied and the knee cannot be straightened. 5, plucking the knee joint tendons with both hands in addition to the thumb outside the rest of the four fingers touch both sides of the back of the knee joint fossa, you can feel both sides of the two “big tendons”, which is the size of the thighs of the main tendons through the place. Knee arthropathy patients mostly due to the knee joint can not be fully straightened and cause these tendons “contracture”, and in the long run the leg will not be able to straighten. With the four fingers of both hands often flick this two “big tendons”, can play the role of tendon relief, loosen the contracture, restore the original length of the tendon. In this way, gradually the knee will be able to straighten. 6, take rubbing calf belly with the palm of the hand gently rubbing the calf belly. Each side of 1 minute, to the calf belly slightly warm for the best. The role of this technique is to loosen the spastic muscles of the patient’s calf, increase the blood supply of the rear calf muscle groups. 7, rubbing the knee can be rubbed around the knee a small amount of safflower oil or fu-talin, and then use a hand to quickly rub back and forth on the skin around the knee, to produce a sense of heat around the joints is good. Can effectively increase blood supply, improve the numbness and stiffness due to poor blood supply. 8, turn the knee to lift the leg Standing, both lower limbs together, knee joints slightly flexed, body leaning forward, both palms were pressed on the two knees, knees rotated around 40 times; and then sit down, so that the two lower limbs hanging, lift the left leg, such as kicking a ball 30 times, left and right to rotate. This method is mainly to move the internal tissues of the joints and promote the secretion and moisturizing of the lubricating fluid in the joints. Ending maneuver Press and adsorb the skin and subcutaneous tissues of the patient’s legs bilaterally with the palms of both hands. Do rapid rubbing, from the thigh to the calf direction, in order to have a hot feeling in the deep tissue is appropriate. Adjustment of knowledge 1, knee injury recovery and knee chronic disease, more suitable for the use of self-massage health care therapy. Pay attention to each operation to stop, do not rush, should be persistent and gradual, in order to maintain joint balance. 2, the knee joint in the semi-squatting position is the most vulnerable to injury. Half squatting position, do not rotate the upper body to avoid injury to the knee joint medial and lateral collateral ligaments. Once the joint ligaments are damaged, be sure to pay attention to rest. Otherwise, it is easy to cause joint instability in the future due to the damage of the knee stabilizer, and eventually develop into osteoarthritis of the knee. 3, the knee joint is most likely to wear parts of the patella, because the patella is the lower limb flexion and extension of power in the “force” device, can also be said to be straightening the knee joint when a “pivot point”. The key to exercising the knee joint is to exercise the surrounding muscles and bones in a state where the knee joint is subjected to as little pressure as possible. The straight leg raise is a very simple and easy way to do this. The method is as follows: lie flat on the bed, stretch the leg up, let the muscles on the thigh tighten, tense, and the bed into a 45-degree angle, each time to maintain 1 second, so that the straight leg stays in mid-air, and then slowly down. So repeat 50, 50 for a group. This exercise can also be practiced standing. The first time you do it, the next day the thigh muscles will have some soreness, but continue to practice a week later, the soreness will gradually disappear, replaced by the knee joint resistance to load capacity is gradually strengthened. Second, the medicinal bath method Treatment purpose: to improve the material metabolism and microcirculation, inhibit the further development of degenerative changes, anti-inflammatory pain, and promote the recovery of joint function. Prescription: 50g of cinnamon, 80g of chicken blood vine, 50g of chuanxiong rhizome, 50g of papaya, 50g of duhuo, 50g of sumac, 50g of chuanxiongcuo, 80g of luoshitou, 50g of lutong, 50g of haitongpi, 50g of hidutou, 50g of xianlingteng, 50g of liu huinu, 50g of tucuo, 50g of gentiana, 50g of gentiana, 80g of xinzhengcao.
