Seven Types of People Unsuitable for Massage
It is common for people to go to blind massage parlors or bath centers when they feel uncomfortable. However, due to the improper hand gestures and excessive force of the so-called "massage therapists," they end up with herniated discs, curved spines, and congested feet. The Ministry of Health and the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine have already issued regulations stating that traditional Chinese massage, as well as scraping, cupping, and other therapeutic methods, must be performed in medical institutions. Therefore, I remind citizens to choose massage therapists with relevant qualifications. Otherwise, they may end up with various illnesses. There are seven types of people who are not suitable for massage, and massage should also be based on individual physical conditions. I will provide you with detailed explanations below.
