PAIN in the neck is a common problem that usually gets better after a couple of days. But, scientists have claimed a certain massage technique could reduce neck pain, and improve quality of life.
Neck pain could be caused by sleeping in an awkward position, having bad posture, or by using a computer for too long. But Tuina - a Chinese massage technique - is an effective, safe and reasonably priced alternative treatment to ease neck pain, claimed scientists from the US and Germany.
Patients receiving massage treatment reported a greater reduction in neck pain, compared with those that didn’t get any treatment for their pain. Six sessions of Tuina, over a period of three weeks, is enough to reduce neck pain, the scientists revealed.
Tuina is applied to patients who are sitting down, or lying on a bed.The massage involved manipulating the soft tissue and backbone, using mainly stroking, kneading, and drumming techniques.It is a very rigorous massage, as every techniques requires movement and pressure.
Some patients report feeling light-headed after sessions, while others feel supercharged. Holding a hot water bottle or heat pack to the neck could reduce pain and muscle spasms.
Checking your posture, and sleeping on a low, firm pillow at night could also help patients manage neck pain at home. Staying active could help neck pain to disappear faster than simply staying in bed.
