Sports Massage
Sports massage includes three techniques; 1. Pre-exercise 2. Post-exercise 3. Sport injury massage
1. Pre-exercise
The massage technique before exercise is relatively rough and fast. This is to relax the superficial fascia, soften the muscle fibers and increase the mobility of the joints, so that more oxygen can reach the muscle fiber cells.

It is also one of the things that the elderly are most worried and afraid of, because usually a small fall can cause serious injuries to the elderly, such as fractures, hitting the head, etc., and even causing death; therefore, healthy fascia, good muscle endurance and muscle elasticity are very important for seniors, because they can help improve Joint flexibility and body balance, thereby reducing the possibility of falls.

Some women can also relieve menstrual pain by massaging their abdomen when their menstruation is about to end.

1. Relax the tension of visceral fascia
The internal organs in our human body are covered with visceral fascia. They are the deepest fascia in the human body; they transmit water, nutrients, information and protect internal organs. Modern people live under stress with unhealthy diet and change in habits have led to imbalances in the visceral functions of some people, which in turn makes the visceral fascia tight; or the visceral functions of some patients and the elderly have slowed down, causing the visceral fascia to lose elasticity; professional abdominal massage can increase the elasticity of the visceral fascia. health.
2. Stimulate the lymphatic system
Part of the lymphatic system in our body is in the intestines; and the most important lymphatic vessels are also located in our abdomen, so professional abdominal massage can stimulate the lymphatic system.
Diaphragm Release
The diaphragm is an important muscle that helps assist breathing. It may be caused by factors such as constant stress, car accidents, poor posture, and mechanical dysfunction in the chest.

Diaphragm release massage is a rare massage technique in Taiwan; because it involves the muscle tissue of the chest and abdomen, please find a professional masseur to handle it.
Rib Cage Release
The ribs are closely connected to the thoracic vertebrae of our body; the ribs, intercostal muscles (small muscles between ribs) and the strong fascia covering them form an important protective shield to protect the heart, lungs and other organize.
The main purpose of rib cage release massage is to relax the intercostal muscles and the strong rib fascia; both of which may be caused by car accident trauma, severe hunchback, severe scoliosis, long-term asthma, poor chest or diaphragm function. Symptoms such as insufficiency lead to tightness of the intercostal muscles or rib fascia, which may cause chest tightness, chest pain, lower rib pain, upper back pain, or shoulder and neck stiffness.
