Recently saw the news, Yiwu a man went to the massage center to “relax” body, the results of three ribs were stepped on fracture. Seeing this not only makes me a little creeped out, but also a little puzzled, what kind of “relaxation”, what kind of massage, so serious problems can occur rib fractures? This not only aroused my curiosity, I believe that we are also the same. Through the news event review, we learned that the man was doing Thai massage, there is a procedure is to step on the back, rib fracture occurred in the process of stepping on the back. Stepping back is the masseur standing on the back of the customer with the sole of the foot to the customer’s back massage, in the process, the customer to bear the weight of the masseur’s entire body. General massage therapist will first on a foot, ask the customer can, if not, will not do so service, is not mandatory. Stepping on the back although there are risks, but completely avoidable. The reason why the problem of broken ribs are stepped on, there may be the following aspects: 1, the masseur is too amateur, non-professional massage staff, no formal training, on the job; did not master the massage technique, or lack of experience; did not master the strength of the massage; or in the process of stepping on the back, caused by a mistake. 2, the man’s physical condition is too weak, there may also be an obvious lack of calcium problems, bone quality is also bad, before the external force, so easy to fracture. 3, the masseur may be weight, significantly more than the man, more than the man’s ability to bear. And the man may be too thin, even if the normal massage, but also can not bear the weight of the masseur. This shows that going to the massage center “relaxation” has risks, step back need to be careful. In the future, try not to go to such places, even if you want to go, you must choose the regular, but also need to find a professional, licensed masseur, so you can avoid a lot of risks.
