Can’t get rid of neck and shoulder pain, dizziness, and abdominal obesity? Do this and knock it out

The "hard-picking" tribe, come here! Busy and stressful work, long hours of sitting in the office with air conditioning or computer, long-term poor posture and lack of exercise can lead to slower blood flow, vascular hypoxia, accumulation of lactic acid metabolites and neural waste products, and prone to shoulder and neck pain, and even sudden dizziness or drowsiness. In particular, female office workers who have entered menopause often complain of abdominal obesity, like "big belly women". How to alleviate the above problems? You might as well tap on specific meridians to get rid of your worries!

★Recurring shoulder and neck pain: muscle tension and poor blood circulation

Maintaining the same posture for a long time or incorrect posture will cause tension in the shoulder and neck muscles. Once the muscles are tense, the pressure inside the muscles will increase, compressing the blood vessels, causing poor blood circulation, making it impossible for old waste in the blood vessels to be eliminated smoothly, and causing pain.

Tapping the lung meridian and Jianzhen acupoint can improve shoulder and neck pain

Wang Jinxin and Li Keqing, founders of Knock Knock Music and Counterpoint Knock Therapy, wrote in their new book "Knock Therapy - Meridian Counterpoint Knock Therapy: More Effective Than Patting, Safer Than Surgery!" 》 mentioned that to improve shoulder and neck pain, you can use tools with a small contact area such as an iron ruler or a knocking instrument to knock on the corresponding clavicle in front. This way of relieving pain is to apply the front-to-back positioning method; in addition, tapping the key points on the lung meridian or the edge of the armpit can also relieve the pain.

Modern people live at a fast pace and have great work pressure. They often shrug their shoulders inadvertently, which causes tension in the entire trapezius muscle and congestion on the outer side of the scapula and the bone joints. In addition, most people rarely raise their arms straight up in their daily routines, which results in the L muscles under the armpits not being stretched all year round, causing severe blood stasis, which in turn leads to problems such as shoulder and neck pain. Therefore, it is very important to relieve this area frequently. Tap each pain-relieving area for 3 to 5 minutes.

【Point】：

If using the front-to-back tapping method still fails to eliminate the shoulder and neck pain, please focus on tapping the Jianzhen point located on the small intestine meridian. The Jianzhen acupoint is located on the trapezius muscle of the shoulder, where Qi and blood often stagnate. By tapping through the congested area, the discomfort caused by tight trapezius muscles of the shoulder can be relieved. In addition to the above two solutions, there is a meridian flowing to the upper edge of the opposite shoulder at the lung meridian 7-9; therefore, when qi and blood are blocked at the lung meridian 7-9, it will also cause qi and blood deficiency and muscle stiffness at the upper edge of the opposite shoulder. Therefore, knocking this area open can allow qi and blood to flow smoothly to the shoulders and improve shoulder and neck pain.

★ Severe dizziness: body spinning, unsteady walking, nausea and vomiting

Although sudden dizziness or blackouts are not fatal, the feeling of being unable to control one's own body can give people a more terrifying sense of insecurity. The severity of dizziness varies from person to person. Some people just feel "dizzy", "floating" or "top-heavy", while more serious dizziness means feeling that the surrounding environment or body is spinning, walking unsteadily, and even accompanied by nausea and vomiting.

Stimulate the "Rangu Point" by tapping to improve dizziness

Most people who suffer from dizziness have weak constitution and insufficient kidney energy. The cause of this is that the "Rangu Point" (kidney meridian) on the inside of the sole of the foot is often blocked, causing the kidney Qi to be unable to go up. Therefore, frequently stimulating the "Rangu Point" will allow the kidney Qi to go up smoothly, which will naturally improve the dizziness.

You can cross your calves like you are crossing your legs, and use a smaller tool (such as a ruler or a small porcelain plate) to gently tap the Ran Gu point on the inside of the sole of your foot. If there is severe congestion here, tapping it lightly will be very painful, so it is recommended to tap it lightly at the beginning. Tap your left and right feet for 3 to 5 minutes each.

【Point】：

The Ran Gu point is related to the circulation of kidney Qi. Therefore, people with insufficient kidney Qi, in addition to frequent dizziness, are also prone to problems such as irritability, dry mouth, and poor sleep. In addition, Ran Gu point is also one of the key points for strengthening the spleen and stomach functions and promoting the digestion of food in the stomach.

★Difficulty in digesting the lower abdomen: eating too much oil and sitting for too long without moving much

Fat is most likely to accumulate in the abdomen! Eating too much oily food and sitting for long periods of time without much exercise will cause the nutrients you take in to be converted into fat and stored in the subcutaneous tissue. This will not only affect the appearance of your body, but will also obstruct the flow of qi and blood in the body, leading to a large accumulation of visceral fat, which in turn will cause high blood pressure, fatty liver, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Tap the center and sides of the abdomen

Use a medium-sized percussion instrument or ping-pong racket to tap the center and sides of the abdomen until it is slightly warm, using strong force; focus on strengthening the obese areas. But please note that it is strictly forbidden to knock on the lower abdomen during women's menstrual period or pregnancy. In addition, it is forbidden to tap the abdomen on an empty stomach or within half an hour after a meal. Tap each acupoint for 3 to 5 minutes.

【Point】：

Many female friends have a small appetite, but their belly cannot be reduced. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this is caused by edema. The Shuidao point helps promote water metabolism and discharge excess water accumulated in the abdomen. As for the Daju point, it can stimulate the secretion of hormones, making it easier to burn body fat, promote metabolism, and adjust the body into a physique that is easy to lose weight.
