How many minutes should a massage during rehab therapy really be? Have you ever felt that this rehab massage therapy is too uneconomical? Just a few minutes to dozens of dollars? Readers Liu Shimin old man in the letter of complaint to the newspaper proposed in the hospital’s rehabilitation treatment in the concept of “times” is generalized, “times” should have a time frame. As we all know, the hospital massage or massage therapy is generally charged per session. In that case, is there any uniform regulation on the time of massage for rehabilitation therapy? How long should be called without cutting corners? This reporter consulted two experts from different hospitals. Experts pointed out that “massage, bone manipulation techniques of different genres, the length of the massage time will be different, and massage time is also subject to a variety of factors, so you can not use how many minutes to generalize. But also believe that in order to reduce disputes and standardize the development of technology, it is necessary to develop relevant industry norms. Specific condition specific analysis can not be generalized. The effectiveness of the treatment is not proportional to the time. “We also have many patients here who have such questions.” Director Shen pointed out that many patients compare the hospital’s therapeutic massage with blind massage and sauna massage, believing that the longer the time spent doing massage, the better. “In fact, therapeutic massage and health care massage are two concepts, so the standard of judgment is completely different, therapeutic massage is about the efficacy is not time, the efficacy of the good or bad and the treatment of time is not directly proportional to; and health care massage is about the comfort, the time is longer will be more comfortable”. Director Shen said, for example, if the patient’s shoulder pain, can not move, the doctor judged to be dislocation of the shoulder joint, smart doctors will be able to reset the joint in one second, so that the patient to relieve the pain! If the doctor is asked to give the patient in the dislocation of the shoulder joint massage for 10 minutes, the patient will not only not comfortable, but also painful. If the patient’s neck or lumbar pain is caused by lumbar vertebrae misalignment, by the same token, the doctor will solve the problem through a short period of reset. Therefore, health care massage is long enough to talk about time, enough relaxation; and treatment of massage is to relax after the reset and efficacy, the two can not be confused. Massage time is subject to a variety of factors. Therapeutic massage time should be mastered how many minutes? Director Shen pointed out that “can not be generalized, because the massage time for how long by a variety of factors, doctors and therapists will be flexible according to the condition”. Therapeutic massage in fact should not be called “massage”, but should be called “massage techniques”, its key role is not in the massage and in the tendon, reset. Tui na, orthopedic techniques of different schools, massage time will be different. Director Shen introduced, there are many schools of Chinese medicine bone-setting techniques. Some schools are specifically for soft tissue, this school of massage time will be relatively long; some schools are specifically for joint dislocation, focusing on correcting the dislocation, so massage time will be shorter. Different course of the disease, massage time will also be different. Director Shen said that the hospital’s rehabilitation department uses the Dragon’s spinal manipulation, which is characterized by light and soft, both focusing on the joints of the subluxation is also aware of the soft tissue spasm, so the time will be a little longer. It starts with relaxation of the affected parts of the body, loosening up localized hard knots and tense muscles, and then the subluxation is repositioned on the basis of the relaxation. For the same patient, at the beginning, if the muscles are tense, the relaxation may take 15 minutes, but after a few treatments, when the tension in the muscles is reduced and the symptoms have improved significantly, the relaxation may only take 5 minutes for the reset treatment. “Even for the same genre, patients with different conditions and different ages, experienced doctors will use different treatment techniques and different treatment times depending on the specific situation.” Director Shen said that if the doctor’s strength, deep penetration, often massage 5-10 minutes to achieve the therapeutic effect, the strength of the doctor will need a longer time; patients in the acute pain period, the strength of the massage will be smaller and shorter; the elderly are weak and accompanied by osteoporosis, the strength of the massage should be relatively small, and the time can not be too The elderly are weak and have osteoporosis, so the massage should be relatively small and not too long. If the patient has a fracture, the doctor will connect the bone in one second and charge so much money. If the therapeutic effect is good, the patient should not have too much to say even if the massage time is shorter. The reason why the patient who lodged the complaint was dissatisfied with the lack of time spent on massage in the hospital was, on the one hand, the lack of communication and explanation by the doctor, and on the other hand, it might be due to the fact that he was dissatisfied with the curative effect of the treatment.
