A young man, Mr. D, walked into a massage parlor and said that he had pain behind his knees and hoped that massage could solve his troubles. So the boss recommended him to have an hour-long body massage, and he agreed with hope.
MR.O, who was responsible for massaging Mr. D, introduced himself to Mr. D as a great therapist who was proficient in Chinese medicine. MR.O pretended to ask about Mr. D's health, checked Mr. D's knees, and promised that he could solve Mr. D's pain. Seeing that MR.O looked confident, Mr. D thought he had come to the right place.
During the one-hour massage, MR.O was very good at talking, saying more than he did. Mr. D's condition did not improve at all after massaging. MR.O kept brainwashing Mr. D and asked him to admit that the pain had been solved. However, it was ineffective, and Mr. D looked embarrassed. Seeing that the hour was about to end, MR.O could only make a desperate move and used his elbow to press the back of Mr. D's knees roughly and vigorously. Mr. D was in so much pain that he gritted his teeth and endured it. Any physiotherapist who has taken basic courses knows that the joints are very fragile. Pressing hard can easily damage blood vessels, lymph nodes and nerves. It is forbidden to press hard, not to mention MR.O's rough and strong elbow pressing. MR.O claims to be proficient in Chinese medicine techniques. How could he not know even this most basic entry-level knowledge?
In the cases shared in the past, I mentioned that if customers want to seek Chinese medicine treatment, I would strongly recommend customers to go to Chinese medicine hospitals or Chinese medicine clinics recognized by the government. After all, there is a big difference between a butcher who slaughters thousands of pigs every day and a doctor who only performs surgery once a week. How can a qualified Chinese medicine practitioner wrong himself and make a living in a massage parlor? Unless he has made very serious mistakes in the past treatment process, if so, will you still put your health in his hands?
In the pictures I attached, you will find that there is more than one muscle that causes pain in the back of the knee. However, when massaging and relaxing these muscles, we will not press the knee crease hard, or to be more precise, we don’t need to massage that area at all.

一位年轻男子D先生走进按摩店，说自己的膝盖后侧疼痛，希望按摩可以解决他的烦恼，于是，老板推荐他做一个小时的身体按摩，他抱着希望同意了。
负责帮D先生按摩的 MR.O 向D先生介绍说，自己是很棒的治疗师，精通中医手法。MR.O装模作样的询问D先生的健康状况，检查D先生的膝盖，并保证可以解决D先生的疼痛烦恼。见MR.O一副胸有成竹的样子，D先生心想自己来对地方了。
在一个小时的按摩过程中，MR.O嘴上功夫了得，说的比做的还多，按来按去也不见D先生的情况有丝毫好转，MR.O 一直帮D先生洗脑，要他承认疼痛已经解决，可是，无效就是无效，D先生一脸为难。眼见一个小时即将结束，MR.O只能孤注一掷，用手肘粗暴大力的按压D先生的膝盖后侧，D先生痛到咬牙死忍。但凡上过基本课程的理疗师都知道，关节转折处是是非常脆弱的，大力按压容易伤及血管、淋巴和神经线，是禁止大力按压的，更何况是MR.O粗暴大力的手肘按压？MR.O自称精通中医手法，怎可能连这最基本的入门知识都不知道呢？
在以往所分享的个案中，我曾提到，顾客若要寻求中医治疗，我会强烈建议顾客去中医院或受政府承认的中医诊所，毕竟日屠万🐷和一个星期才操作一次手术的医生，是有很大区别的，合格的中医师怎会委屈自己，在按摩店谋生呢？除非他曾在过去的治疗过程中，犯下非常严重的错误，若是这样，你还会将自己的健康，交在他的手上吗？
在我附上的图片中，你会发现，会导致膝盖后侧疼痛的肌肉不止一个，然而，按摩放松这些肌肉的时候，我们是不会去大力按压膝盖皱褶，又或者正确的说，我们根本没必要按摩该处。

In daily work, I often encounter some customers who say that they feel stiff and painful in the neck, but neck massage seems to have no effect, or the effect is not long-lasting. The reason is that stiff and painful neck may not necessarily be caused by muscle strain in the neck. It can be caused by muscle strain in other parts of the body, resulting in related pain. In other words, the part that causes the problem must be massaged to relax in order to effectively solve the stiffness and pain.
Two of trapezius trigger points can be found along the inner (or medial) border of the shoulder blade, just down from where the edge of muscle crosses onto the shoulder blade, about halfway up from the inferior angle.The upper trigger point is an extremely common primary trigger point. It refers pain to back of the neck and base of the skull like the trigger points in the upper trapezius. It’s one of the many causes of a stiff neck. It can also send referred pain to the upper trapezius itself. Satellite trigger points produced in these two places can in turn be the cause of headache. This cascade, or domino effect, of myofascial trigger points is one reason headaches have been so hard to under-stand and treat effectively. The lower point can also cause an oppressive ache or burning pain in the midback and an aching pain in the top of the shoulder. When trigger points weaken the lower trapezius muscles, they may contribute to making the shoulder blades stick out in back, a condition called “winging”.
Although upper trigger points are extremely common causes of stiff and painful necks, I still often get scolded when I solve such problems for customers, because most customers think that massage is to massage the head for headaches and massage the feet for foot pain. Most customers are very repulsive and resistant to trigger point therapy, which is an unpopular but very practical and effective therapy. So Andy is really grateful for the support and trust of my regular customers.

在日常工作时，经常会遇到一些顾客说，感觉颈项僵硬疼痛，但按摩颈项似乎没有什么效果，又或者效果不能持久。究其原因，颈项的僵硬疼痛，未必一定是颈项的肌肉劳损导致的，它可以是其它部位的肌肉劳损，所产生的牵发性疼痛，也就是说，必须按摩放松产生问题的部位，方能有效的解决僵硬疼痛。
斜方肌其中两个触发点位于肩胛骨内（或内侧）缘，就在肌肉边缘与肩胛骨交叉处的下方，大约在下角向上的一半位置。上触发点是极为常见的主要触发点。它会将疼痛传导至颈后部和颅底，就像上斜方肌的触发点一样。它是导致颈部僵硬的众多原因之一。它还会将牵发性疼痛传导至上斜方肌本身。这两个地方产生的次要触发点反过来又会引发头痛。肌筋膜触发点的这种串联或多米诺骨牌效应是头痛难以理解和有效治疗的原因之一。下触发点还可能导致中背部压迫性疼痛或灼痛，以及肩部上方酸痛。当触发点削弱下斜方肌时，可能会导致肩胛骨向后突出，这种情况称为“翼状”。
虽说上触发点是极为常见，导致颈项僵硬疼痛的原因，但我本身在解决顾客此类问题的时候，还是会经常挨骂，因为大部分的顾客认为，按摩就是头痛按头，脚痛按脚，对于触发点疗法这种冷门但非常实用有效的疗法，大部分顾客都会非常排斥和抗拒，所以 Andy 真的非常感谢熟客们对我的支持和信任。

When Mr. J came for a body massage, he told me that his neck and shoulders felt very stiff and sore, and he hoped that I could temporarily relieve his symptoms. After communication and understanding, I learned that Mr. J is a fitness enthusiast. He believes that his neck and shoulders problems are caused by fitness, and unless he gives up fitness, his neck and shoulders problems will continue.
During the massage, I found that Mr. J's neck and shoulders were indeed very stiff, and the massage of this part had little effect. Mr. J smiled bitterly, as if to say, it has always been like this, I know you have tried your best. Since the massage of this part cannot achieve a relaxing effect, I assume that Mr. J's neck and shoulders are stiff because of the strain of the scalene muscles on the left and right sides of his neck. The scalene muscles form an antagonistic relationship with the muscles on the back of the neck. It is a muscle that is very easy to fatigue. Any excessive force, mental tension, too much pressure, or shortness of breath can bring a burden to it. Mr. J likes fitness, so the possibility of scalene muscle strain is very high. After about 5 minutes of massage on the scalene muscles, Mr. J felt that his neck and shoulders were no longer stiff and sore. He was very happy with the long-lost sense of relief. In order to prevent scalene muscle strain from causing trouble to Mr. J again, I taught him how to massage and relax his scalene muscles. Two weeks passed, Mr. J did not come back. I believe that he is no longer troubled by the stiffness and soreness of his neck and shoulders.

J 先生来做身体按摩的时候告诉我，他的肩颈感觉非常僵硬和酸痛，希望我能暂时舒缓他的症状。经过沟通了解，知道 J 先生是个健身爱好者，他认为他的肩颈问题是健身导致的，除非放弃健身，否则他的肩颈问题将持续存在。
进行按摩的时候，我发现 J 先生的肩颈确实非常僵硬，针对这部位的按摩，效果微乎其微。J 先生苦笑，似乎是在说，一直都是这样，我知道你已经尽力了。既然针对这部位的按摩无法达到放松效果，我假设 J 先生的肩颈僵硬，是其颈项左右前外侧的斜角肌劳损造成的。斜角肌和颈项后侧的肌肉形成对立关系，它是非常容易疲劳的肌肉，但凡用力过巨，精神紧张，压力太大，或呼吸急促，皆能给它带来负担。J 先生喜欢健身，所以斜角肌劳损的可能性是非常高的。经过大约 5 分钟针对斜角肌的按摩，J 先生感觉他的肩颈不再感觉僵硬和酸痛，久违的轻松感让 J 先生非常开心。为了防止斜角肌劳损再给J 先生带来困扰，我教 J 先生自己按摩放松斜角肌的方法。两个星期过去了，J先生没有再来光顾，相信他暂时没有肩颈僵硬酸痛的困扰了。

A woman went to a massage parlor near her company during her lunch break to get a foot massage. During the massage, the masseur used "talking skills" to persuade her to do a body massage, claiming that he could use Chinese medicine techniques to solve her rib pain. The masseur used a wooden stick to poke the woman's painful ribs, and at the same time, he kept brainwashing her, forcing her to admit that she felt much better. In fact, many customers are easily convinced that a masseur who knows Chinese medicine techniques means that his level is relatively high. But truly qualified Chinese medicine practitioners all work in Chinese medicine clinics. As for masseurs who have studied Chinese medicine and have Chinese medicine diplomas, they are generally very low-key and will not brag to customers that they are Chinese medicine practitioners and how good they are, because they know that there is a gap between them and the Chinese medicine practitioners in Chinese medicine clinics. If you ask a masseur who claims to use Chinese medicine techniques to show you his Chinese medicine diploma, I am sure they can't show it to you. If you need surgery, would you choose a professional doctor who only performs surgery once a week? Or a butcher who slaughters hundreds of pigs a day and is more experienced? 😁I would like to emphasize again that to solve pain, it is not about pressing where it hurts and the more painful it is, the more effective it is. Many customers pay the price for their lack of awareness.

黄先生被肩膀疼痛困扰两年了，他认为是自己长时间使用手机导致的。他经常光顾按摩店，有时一个星期最多三次，每次都要求按摩师大力按摩他的肩膀，这样能使他在按摩后的两天，暂时感觉不到肩膀疼痛。他也向中医寻求治疗，中医师告诉他，他的肩膀疼痛，不是肩膀的问题，是“膀胱经”堵塞所致，然而，中医师集中按摩膀胱经，也解决不了黄先生的疼痛。
根据个人经验，我推测导致黄先生肩膀疼痛的可能性依照顺序是斜角肌，肩胛提肌，斜方肌，冈上肌，冈下肌，肱三头肌和肱二头肌。相当令我感到意外的是，黄先生对按摩最大的反应是当我依序按摩到他的肱二头肌和肱三头肌时，按摩时的酸痛感令他相当难忍。在按摩放松这两组肌肉后，黄先生感觉困扰他两年的肩膀疼痛消失了。
出于职业病，我向黄先生了解过去两年，他经常做的事情，包括日常习惯性动作。原来自两年前，他便有健身的习惯，而肩膀疼痛是从那时开始的，由于他经常光顾按摩店，他不认为健身会留下肌肉酸痛的烦恼，更何况按摩时，他都要求按摩师集中按摩酸痛部位，而他停止健身已有半年了。我要再次强调，大部分劳损的肌肉本身并不会感觉疼痛，他们会将疼痛放射至离肌肉本身较远的部位，大力按摩这些部位所产生的疼痛，会覆盖肌肉原本产生的酸痛感，让大脑暂时忘记肌肉酸痛。所以，要更有效的解决肌肉酸痛，就需要熟悉每块肌肉的劳损症状，才能对症下药。
