How to do effective self-massage for cervical osteochondrosis?
Patients suffering from cervical osteochondrosis need their own massage - it can really help them. The effect of a proper therapeutic massage is not only clear, but also proven to be frequent: the symptoms of osteochondrosis may disappear within a few months after the first course. In addition, regular self-massage will help improve the condition of the cervical spine and slow down the progression of the disease.
Which methods are safe and harmless for our necks?
An effective method for cervical diseases is self-massage, which means a comfortable posture that can be pulled in any comfortable chair. The movements start from the back and caress, shake and squeeze.
At the beginning of the self-massage, the back area is worked between the shoulder blades, then passed to the shoulder girdle and chest area above the mammary glands. The massage should not be painful. The stronger the movement, the less it should be repeated.
Then we go directly to the cervical region: from the back of the head to the back with both hands along the spine, then massage the neck with squeezing movements, replacing it by tapping the edges. The palm on both sides of the spine, which we carry with our brushes and squeeze 3-4 times. Finish by stroking the back of the neck.
The third step is to rub. The pads of the fingers are placed on the back of the head, then the skin is rubbed from top to bottom. The back of the neck is then rubbed in a circular motion from the back of the head to the back. The last stage of self-massage repeats the first.
