Description

The claimed solution relates to medicine, in particular to massage, restorative medicine, and can be used in a complex of therapeutic and preventive measures to improve the body, as well as to correct the figure and weight of a person.

Massage is a method of mechanical action on the tissues of the human body. Its favorable physiological effect is due to the multidirectional effect on the human body. In the case of surface massage, activation of skin receptors occurs, followed by a reflex reaction from the nervous system, muscles, lymphatic and circulatory systems. It is known that various methods and massage techniques have been used since ancient times. In Russia, massage was first scientifically substantiated and applied by A.I. Pospelov. There are massages: hygienic, the primary task of which is to improve the body, which includes cosmetic massage, therapeutic massage, which is widely used for various chronic diseases, sports massage, the purpose of which is to combat fatigue, increase endurance and performance.

From the prior art there is a method for correcting the figure and weight of a person by manual massage according to Kisselgof V.I. (see patent RU 2219890 dated December 27, 2003), which includes visual identification of problem areas of the figure, followed by the application of a lubricant and intensive kneading in order to warm up the selected area of the body. Intensive exposure is performed using the palmar surfaces and / or thumbs for 1-2 minutes. The criteria for the correct implementation of the method include persistent edema, which persists for up to 2 days along with the development of aseptic inflammation in adipose tissue.

There is a known method for correcting a human figure by manual massage (see patent RU 2659636 dated April 23, 2018), in which problem areas of the figure are determined and a lubricant, such as olive oil, is applied, 30-60 minutes before warming up, the treated area is anesthetized using an anesthetic ointment with subsequent coating with a thermal waterproofing material, then the selected area of the body is heated by exposing it to the phalanges of the bent fingers. On heated areas of the body, palpation determines dense fibrous-fatty formations, which are destroyed by force. The force impact is carried out by the second phalanges with a predominance of screwing movements both clockwise and counterclockwise, with an emphasis on the little finger. In case of detection of more dense fibrous-fatty formations, the said force impacts by the second phalanges are carried out with emphasis on the index and middle fingers.

The disadvantages of the methods described above are excessive soreness and adverse cosmetic effect.

Closest to the claimed method is a method for correcting the weight and figure of a person by manual massage (see patent RU 2383326 dated March 10, 2010), including figure correction by manual massage performed at the level of subcutaneous fat and main lymphatic vessels. The method is carried out sequentially in 3 stages. At the first stage, natural lymphatic drainage is activated, at the second stage, problem points are affected by kneading them, at the third stage, the fascia and muscles are massaged in the patient's vertical position, taking into account the resistance scale.

The disadvantage of this method is the lack of point acupuncture and acupressure effects on problem areas, massage is not applied taking into account the meridian and reflexogenic zones, large joints are not sufficiently worked out, which reduces the effectiveness of natural lymphatic drainage. Also, the disadvantage of the known method of massage is a short cosmetic effect.

The objective of this invention is to create a technique that allows you to adjust the weight and figure without the use of diets, exercise and surgery.

The technical result of the proposed invention is to increase the comfort of the patient during the procedure, as well as the prolongation of the cosmetic effect.

To achieve the task and the specified technical result, it is proposed to create a combined method for body shaping, which includes four successively performed stages, where the effect is carried out at the level of both the deep layers of the dermis and subcutaneous fat, muscles, tendons, fascia, depending on the stage, by applying the palms of the massage therapist's hands to the patient's body and point impact by shifting the skin along the muscle fibers until resistance is felt with two, three, four, five, eight, ten fingers, in which at the first stage the impact is exerted along the meridians on local zones in the direction of the main lymphatic vessels, increasing the outflow of lymphatic fluid from local places, at the second stage they affect the previously diagnosed problem areas of the figure, as well as the whole body with the additional use of peeling, at the third stage they have a tonic effect on the skin surface, while applying a massage gel based on caffeine, processing large joints, at the fourth stage, warm up the skin, along with replenishing fluid losses, providing a general tonic, lymphatic drainage effect on the patient's body.

In the process of performing the first stage, the impact is exerted on reflexogenic, acupuncture and acupressure points, taking into account local lymphatic zones. To increase the removal of fluid during the second stage, the effect is combined with peeling, working through every centimeter of the skin. During the fourth final stage, by wrapping, warming the skin and drinking plenty of water, there is a general tonic, sedative, lymphatic drainage effect on the patient's body. According to the proposed method, at the first stage, metabolic processes are activated and accelerated, lymphatic drainage is enhanced, both in general and in problem areas. At the second stage, peeling additionally affects problem areas, correcting the figure and increasing skin turgor. At the third stage, due to the general tonic effect, the sympathetic-adrenal system is activated. At the fourth final stage, the massage gel penetrates most deeply into the layers of the skin, and tissue perfusion improves so much that profuse sweating and natural lymphatic drainage are activated.

In FIG. 1 image of the interaction of the massage therapist with the patient during the wrap.

The method is carried out as follows. They listen to complaints and collect an anamnesis, after which the patient is placed on a massage table in a position lying on his stomach or on his back, depending on the stage of the procedure. The technique of massage actions is carried out according to the system of meridians and includes the main techniques of lymphatic drainage and connective tissue massage by applying the masseur's hands to the patient's body, as well as acupressure by pressing fingers on biologically active points of the human body. The method of body massage includes 4 successive stages.

1st stage. Massage is performed sequentially in four positions. In the 1st position, the patient is seated on a chair, his head is pressed against the back of the chair with his forehead. The massage starts from the ear area in the direction from top to bottom and from the midline laterally, reaching the lower edge of the trapezius muscle, grabbing the skin, subcutaneous fat, fascia, muscles and tendons with the fingers, taking into account the acupuncture points, where four fingers fix the point, and the massage is performed with large fingers. The first position is completed with the myofascial smoothing technique, and the massage time is 5-7 minutes. 2nd position is performed lying on the stomach and begins with a light stroking of the back from the lower edge of the trapezius muscle to the upper edge of the gluteus maximus muscle. The direction of massage movements depends on the history of blood pressure, for example, in patients with hypertension, massage in the second position is performed from top to bottom from the midline outward. After stroking, they begin intensive kneading of the muscles, using lymphatic drainage massage techniques and paying special attention to connective tissue massage. Connective tissue massage is performed with the index and middle fingers with maximum penetration into the thickness of the tissue and the consistent use of each millimeter of the massaged area. If necessary, acupressure elements can be used in the second position, acting on the paravertebral points and holding them with pressure for 5-7 seconds. In this position, special attention is paid to the lumbar region in the direction from the spinous processes to the superior anterior iliac spine. The massage ends with a light stroke. The massage time is 10-11 minutes. The 3rd position is performed in the supine position, in which the lower limb is massaged, and then the opposite upper limb: the right leg - the left arm, the left leg - the right arm. The massage starts from the lower limb with a precise impact on the toes, then the interdigital spaces are massaged and along the meridians and lymph flow from the bottom up, reaching the anterior lower iliac spine, taking into account the location of the great saphenous vein. Having reached the ischial tuberosity, they proceed to massage the buttocks on the corresponding side, using the technique of connective tissue massage, as well as the technique of pinching and tapping. Next, they proceed to massage the upper limb on the opposite side, also pointwise massaging the fingers, interdigital spaces and along the meridians up to the acromion. The middle third of the shoulder is massaged by pinching, and the remaining areas are massaged by lymph flow, tapping and the method of connective tissue massage. The joints of the hand, elbow and shoulder are massaged along the main reflex points. The time massage is performed for 17-20 minutes and is completed with a light stroke. 4th position is performed in shifts lying on the side. The leg and arm of the patient on which he lies are extended, on the free side the arm is bent at the elbow and pressed to the body, the leg is bent at the knee and pressed to the extended leg. Massage is carried out in the back and abdomen of the corresponding side using the technique of connective tissue massage with the index and middle fingers, working through the intercostal spaces, avoiding the neurovascular bundles, and up to the upper edge of the trapezius muscle. Then massage movements in the same technique go to the abdomen of the corresponding side. The massage ends with a light stroke, the total massage time in the fourth position is 10-12 minutes. The 5th position is performed with the patient in the supine position, arms along the torso, legs apart shoulder-width apart. Lymphatic drainage massage is performed along the lymph flow, starting from the fingertips in shifts of both hands towards the sternum with the involvement of the pectoralis major muscle. Then they move to the abdomen, where massage movements are performed using the technique of connective tissue massage with two or three fingers, depending on the abdomen, clockwise, replacing this technique with a lymphatic drainage massage method. Then they move in shifts to the lower limbs, starting from the fingertips to the inner surface of the thigh, using connective tissue massage, pinching and rolling techniques. In the case of massage of the knee joint, the patient's leg is bent and in this position the reflexogenic zones are massaged. The position is completed with a light stroke, the massage time is 14-15 minutes.

2nd stage. Massage is combined with peeling, which includes seaweed, propylene glycol, polysaccharides, sea salt. Massage together with peeling is performed sequentially in 2 positions. 1st position is performed in the position on the stomach. Massage peeling movements are directed from the neck down to the acromion. Then alternately massage the upper limb in the direction from the fingertips upwards, where large joints are peeled with massage movements for 1 minute. Having reached the acromion, peeling is performed downwards, from the shoulder blades along the spine and the lateral surface of the body, ending with a massage of the buttocks. Then, with massage movements, peeling of the lower extremities is performed from the fingertips to the lower edge of the gluteus maximus muscle, lingering on large joints for at least 1 minute. Peeling in the 1st position takes 10-15 minutes. 2nd position is performed in the supine position. First, a facial massage is performed using gommage or peeling, depending on the characteristics of the patient's skin. Body peeling is performed with the same composition as in the 1st position. With massaging movements in the direction from the neck to the décolleté and chest, peeling is performed, while the patient's hands are wound behind the head. Having reached the armpits and having worked out this zone, they move to the upper limbs, in the direction from the fingertips to the upper edge of the deltoid muscle, and peel the lateral surfaces of the chest, moving to the stomach. The position is completed by peeling the lower extremities in shifts from the fingertips, reaching the anterior inferior iliac spine. 2nd position is performed within 10-15 minutes. The entire 2nd stage is performed using massage movements of medium intensity, alternating massage with the palm and fingers with the obligatory study of all reflex zones.

3rd stage. The patient takes a warm shower, washing off the peeling from the body and lastly from the face. Then the skin is lightly dipped in a towel, and the patient is placed on a warm thermal blanket covered with a film, in the supine position. Depending on the characteristics of the patient's medical history, and also taking into account the presence of a superficially located venous network or a thickness of subcutaneous fat less than 1 cm, a caffeine-based massage gel is individually selected. The gel is applied in a thin layer in the interdigital spaces of the upper and lower extremities, in the direction from the bottom up to the upper edge of the trapezius muscle. Then the patient is turned over on his back and in the direction from top to bottom, not letting go even 1 cm, a thin layer of gel is applied, ending with the tips of the toes. The 3rd stage is performed within 4-6 minutes.

4th stage. In the supine position, the patient is wrapped in a film, wrapped with a sheet over the film and a thermal blanket on top. As soon as the wrapping is completed, they begin to prepare a general tonic tea, which includes: honey, lime, lemon and mint in a volume of 350 ml. Ingredients are selected taking into account possible contraindications and individual tolerance of all components. Drinking is given throughout the entire wrapping time and immediately after the completion of the fourth stage (see figure 1). Between drinking, face and head massages are alternately performed. The facial massage lasts 25 minutes, taking into account the direction of the lymph flow, as well as along the reflex points, starting from the chin protrusion to the angle of the lower jaw, to the auricle on both sides, in the direction around the orbit to the temple, and complete in the direction from the bridge of the nose to the hairline . Facial massage is performed with eight fingers using massaging movements and repeated three times. The last step is to detonate the skin with semi-pinching movements with the help of the thumbs and middle fingers in the directions listed above. Then proceed to the head massage. All massage movements are performed in the direction from the auricles to the occipital crest along all reflex points with the help of ten fingers and down to the spinous process of the first cervical vertebra. Head massage is performed from 7 to 10 minutes. At the end of the 4th stage, the thermal blanket is turned off, the patient's body is gently blotted so that the gel remains on the body, which is finally absorbed within the next 10 hours. Stage 4 lasts 30-45 minutes. After dressing, the patient continues to drink warm tea for 10-15 minutes. After the procedure, it is recommended to drink plenty of fluids and limit food intake for 1 hour.
