This is a course to learn how to deal with symptoms for traditional Thai massage therapists. Learn techniques to help relieve discomfort such as stomach pain, abdominal pain, chest pain, and menstrual cramps. These pains are often directly linked to internal disorders or major illnesses and cannot be treated by a therapist, but once the location of the pain is identified, it is possible to temporarily alleviate the symptoms to some extent.
In general, pain in the pit of the stomach is referred to as “stomach pain”. There are various causes of gastric pain, such as damage to the mucous membrane of the stomach due to excessive secretion of gastric acid or bacteria, or a malfunction due to a decrease in stomach function. Helicobacter pylori and stress can also cause stomach pain. It could be gastritis, esophagitis, an ulcer, or even a heart problem that can cause pain in the stomach. In the case of visceral disease, let us guide you to the hospital.
Chest pain, such as sharp stabbing pain, tingling pain, coughing and breathing pain, may be neuralgia or muscle pain. On the other hand, a burning sensation or pressure accompanied by listlessness or difficulty breathing, a tearing pain that travels down the chest or back, or a serious disorder such as a heart attack or aortic dissection. It will be considered. Temporary relief is the main focus, but you can temporarily alleviate symptoms by relaxing and rubbing the intercostal muscles, and by relaxing the stiffness around your chest and shoulder blades, you can make breathing easier. can also do.
There are many different types of abdominal pain. It is very important to know what kind of pain it is in order to think about the cause. First, how long have you been having pain? Did the pain suddenly come on, has it been there for a long time, has it been there for a long time but is the pain getting stronger, and so on. It is a common symptom of gastric ulcers that pain occurs when you are hungry and is relieved when you eat. On the other hand, if you feel pain when you eat, you should consider diseases of the intestines or gallbladder. And if the pain is relieved by excretion in the toilet, there is a high possibility that the pain is associated with intestinal peristalsis (the contraction that occurs when the contents pass through). The location of pain is also important. Patients who have a stomach ache often complain, "I have a stomach ache," or point to the painful area and ask, "What is there in this place?" However, the pit of the stomach is where the pain in the stomach gathers, and the cause is not necessarily where it hurts. In the case of abdominal pain accompanied by fever, we think that there may be inflammation in the abdomen, and in the case of diarrhea and vomiting, we first think of acute enteritis. Constipation is also an important symptom. If you have hematemesis, melena, or blood in your urine, you can narrow down the likely disease. For women, menstruation and pregnancy status are also important information. |
