Everyone must be familiar with the term "health care". Nowadays, people pay more and more attention to the way to keep healthy, and there are many ways to keep healthy. In general, old people now choose to go out for a walk after dinner every day. When walking, they will use a thing called a fitness meridian tapping stick. So, how to use the fitness meridian tapping stick? Let’s take a look at it below.

Patting the head and neck

Stand or sit on a chair, look straight ahead, relax your whole body, lower your shoulders and elbows, then raise your arms and pat your head and neck. Pat the left side with your left hand and the right side with your right hand. Start from the back of the neck, and gradually pat upwards to the forehead. Then pat from the forehead backwards to the back of the neck. Repeat this 5 to 8 times, counting silently in your mind, calming your mind and breathing naturally.

Pat the shoulder

Stand or sit upright on a chair, pat your right shoulder with your left hand, and pat your left shoulder with your right hand, patting each side 100 times. It can prevent and treat shoulder pain, shoulder soreness, periarthritis of the shoulder and atelectasis. Pat both upper limbs: Use your left hand to pat your right upper limb, and use your right hand to pat your left upper limb. Be thoughtful when patting, and pat all sides of the upper limbs. Generally, pat each side 100 to 200 times. This can prevent or relieve upper limb muscle dysplasia, upper limb numbness, acrocyanosis and hemiplegia.

Patting the chest and back

Cotton clothes should be taken off in winter. Stand up, relax your whole body naturally, and then half-clench your fists. First pat your right chest with your left hand, then pat your left chest with your right hand. First from top to bottom, then from bottom to top, pat each chest 200 times, and then pat the back after patting the chest. Keep your hands half-clenched, then reach behind your head with your left hand to pat the right side of your back, then use your right hand to pat the left side of your back, patting each side 100 times. The chest and back are rich in thoracic wall nerves and spinal nerves, which control human movement and cardiopulmonary function. Patting the chest and back can stimulate the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the chest and back, accelerate blood circulation in the body, and enhance endocrine function through nerve conduction. It can prevent and treat coronary heart disease, hypertensive heart disease, rheumatic heart disease, cor pulmonale, emphysema and muscle dysplasia.

Patting waist and abdomen

Stand up, relax your whole body, half-clench your fists or stretch your fingers out, then turn your waist left and right. As the waist turns, the upper limbs also swing along. When the waist turns to the right, drive the left upper limb and palm to pat the right abdomen. At the same time, pat your right waist with your right hand. Repeat this exercise left and right, consciously patting your waist and abdomen with your palms or fists, 200 times on each side.

Patting the lower limbs

Sit upright on a chair, pat your left leg first, and place your left foot on a low stool to relax your entire lower limbs. Use both hands to pat from top to bottom, from inside to outside, then from bottom to top, from outside to inside, from thigh to calf, and then switch to pat the right leg. Generally, tap 200 times each time. It can prevent and treat senile lower limb numbness, enhance metabolism, and has a certain therapeutic effect on hemiplegic limbs. Patting the upper and lower limbs and shoulders can promote blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, and allow local joints, especially the shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers, knees and other joints to be properly relaxed. The vibration waves and shock waves generated by patting can be transmitted deep into the muscles, thereby promoting blood circulation, increasing the flexibility of blood vessels, and helping to prevent and treat muscle strain, cervical spondylosis, and arthritis.

The following issues should be noted when performing tapping therapy:

1. When patting, your whole body should be relaxed and natural, don't be nervous, keep your neck straight and chest upright, breathe steadily, and eliminate distracting thoughts.

2. Use appropriate force when patting. It should be light at first and then heavy, slow at first and then fast, with moderate speed and not too strong. The force applied to the diseased joints and muscles can be slightly greater, and the rhythm can be slightly faster. When patting the chest and abdomen, be gentle with your movements and avoid hitting them too hard to avoid damaging your internal organs.

3. When patting, you should proceed step by step, persist, and be thorough. Don't pat randomly here and there. It is best to do patting in the morning after getting up.

Well, let's stop here regarding the issue of fitness meridian tapping sticks. What everyone needs to pay attention to is that, although health care is good, it must be done in moderation. If it is excessive, it may not only fail to achieve the effect of health care, but also cause you to develop other diseases. Therefore, when using fitness meridian tapping sticks, you must pay attention to moderation.
