Comparison of Oriental and Western Massage Techniques for the Visually Impaired and Discussion on Application in Leisure Home

[[abstract]]本研究主要是在分析視障按摩基本手法的操作流程、施術步驟及各式手法的操作及應用，同時也將西洋按摩與東洋按摩的異同做比較分析，而按摩基本手法的施術方法，各家各派雖有所差異，但施術的要領及效應卻有許多相似之處，無論是東洋或西洋按摩手法，其目的都是為了消除疲勞、養生保健及身心放鬆的效果。這兩套手法最大的差異是：東洋按摩是離心性的按摩法，也就是從靠近心臟的位置往遠離心臟的方向按摩；而西洋按摩是向心性的觀念，所謂向心性就是從遠離心臟的位置往靠近心臟的方向按摩，兩者剛好相反。希望此報告能提供給按摩教學者做考照教學的參考，做為初學者扎根之用，也可以做為自我按摩的手法，而朋友與同儕之間彼此紓壓保健，做為休閒時的重要活動，同時推廣人們在家可以與家人空閒時操作，達到居家保健調養身體的方式。有了良好的基礎，未來才得以接受更深入的按摩手法訓練。[[abstract]]This research mainly analyzes the operation process, procedures, and application of the basic techniques of massage for the visually impaired. At the same time, it also compares and analyzes the similarities and differences between Western massage and Eastern massage. Although there are differences between different schools, the essentials and effects of the treatment have many similarities. Whether it is an Oriental or Western massage, the purpose is to relieve fatigue, maintain health and relax the body and mind. The biggest difference between the two sets of techniques is: Oriental massage is a centrifugal massage, that is, massage from a position close to the heart to a direction away from the heart; while Western massage is the concept of centripetal, the so-called centripetal is from a position away from the heart Massage in the direction close to the heart, the two are just opposite.I hope that this report can provide a reference for massage teachers to do test teaching. It can be used as a root for beginners, and it can also be used as a method of self-massage. It is important for friends and peers to relieve stress and health care during leisure. At the same time, it promotes the way that people can operate at home and their family members during their free time, so as to achieve home health care and recuperation of the body.
