Self-massage, as its name suggests, is the execution of massage on one's own body using simple finger techniques for the purpose of preventing and curing diseases, keeping fit and prolonging life.Self-massage is one of the earliest means of preventive and curative health care known to man. When people are injured or when internal disease has manifested in some form on the outside of the body, people instinctively rub or touch the affected area in order to relieve pain. Such subconscious behavior has become a way of treating diseases and an effective measure to prevent and control diseases.
