Massage plan: impact on the paravertebral zones of the sacrum, lumbar and lower thoracic spinal segments (S3-S1 L5-L4, Th12-Th11). The massage is performed in the area of the gluteus muscles, the sacrum area, the crests of the iliac bones.
A decisive role in the treatment of spine osteochondrosis belongs to the cessation of loads along the axis of the spine and to ensure rest for the affected disc. The patient should lie on his back, a small pillow should be placed under his head. In the case of neuralgia of the sciatic nerve, the patient is laid with the legs bent in the hip and knee joints in order to maximally relax the muscles of the limb and unload the tensioned nerve sheath.
Damage to the ligamentous apparatus of the spine leads to the formation of pain sources in different structures of the musculoskeletal system, or more precisely, sources of nociception.
Symptoms of damage to the interstitial and suprainfacial ligaments depend on the duration of injury and associated spinal injuries. At the same time, the clinical diagnosis of these lesions is rather complicated: a palpation injury is often not always detected, since displacements in the vertebral region are minor, and also radiographs may not always help in making a diagnosis.
Massage of paravertebral tissues. Massage is performed by short movements from the medial edge of the muscle, straightening the spine, towards the cranial areas; Massage is performed using subcutaneous or fascial technique at the lateral margin of the muscle;
They always start with the development of paravertebral zones, first they massage the caudal zones and only then eliminate the changes in the cranial zones. After the development of segmental roots, the zones from the periphery to the spine are massaged, and the extremities from the distal to the proximal parts.
Usually the pain accompanying such a pathology of intervertebral discs, like osteochondrosis, is removed with ointments. Is it possible to use mustard plasters for osteochondrosis instead of ointments? It turns out that it is possible and necessary.
The formation of the motor skill is a multistage process. From elementary skills, which form the basis of the expedient motor activity of man and which resulted from repeated repetition of skills, the transition to the synthesis of a number of skills and skills of high order is carried out.
The muscle, which contains active trigger points (TT), is functionally shortened and weakened. When trying to passively stretch it, pain occurs. The limit of passive stretching of the muscle, the nose of which does not cause pain, can be determined with differentiated samples.
The cervical region is characterized by the superficial location of large blood vessels and a large number of lymphatic vessels of the cervical lymphatic plexus accompanying the jugular veins and carrying lymph to the cervical and supraclavicular nodes. Neck massage enhances the outflow of venous blood and lymph from the cavity of the skull and its integuments and thus has a beneficial effect on hemodynamics.
