Massage Technique for Waist Slimming
For women, the waist is one of the most attractive areas. A bulky waist makes it hard to wear form-fitting clothes that highlight body curves. Yet the waist is rarely moved in daily life and easily accumulates fat. By properly stimulating meridians, acupoints, and muscles in the waist and abdomen, waist fat can gradually reduce. 1. Stimulating Back and Waist Acupoints
Waist acupoints include: Dai Mai (Band Meridian) point, located at the tip of the 11th rib, level with the navel; Fu Jie (Abdominal Cleanse) point, located along the line from the nipple downward, 3 cm below the navel. Back acupoints include: Jing Men (Capital Gate) point, at the tip of the 12th rib; Zhi Shi (Will Power) point, 5 cm below the second lumbar vertebra prominence.
Use thumb, index finger, or middle and ring fingers to press, knead, pinch, or squeeze these points and surrounding muscles.
2. Pinching and Massaging the Dai Mai Meridian
Dai Mai runs across the narrowest part of the waist. Regular massage here greatly reduces waist fat. Use both hands to pinch, knead, and lift the Dai Mai area from front and back.
3. Massaging Abdominal Muscles
Strong stimulation by massaging the rectus abdominis and oblique abdominal muscles can help slim the waist. Techniques are identical to those used for massaging the Dai Mai.
