T/CACM 1087-2018 Technical Operation Guidelines for Preventive Treatment of Diseases in Traditional Chinese Medicine - Shoulder Exercise Programme

Scope

Main technical content: Shoulder circumference exercise aims to maximize the range of motion of the shoulder joint through activities. It integrates the "Lao Zi Massage Method", "Easy Tendon Movement", "Tai Chi Chuan", "Eight-Section Brocade", the experiences of renowned modern and contemporary TCM practitioners, and modern joint gymnastics. Combined with the anatomical characteristics, physiological functions, and biomechanical principles of the shoulder joint, it is innovatively developed into a workout method with TCM guidance characteristics. Shoulder circumference exercise emphasizes maintaining a straight body posture during exercise, breathing naturally, keeping a calm mind and relaxed body, applying moderate force, and performing smooth movements at a steady pace with appropriate amplitude. The number of movements and duration of exercise should be adapted to individual needs. It requires coordinating breathing with movements to ensure smooth energy flow during exercise. The aim of shoulder circumference exercise is to relax tendons and ligaments and lubricate joints. The entire set of movements is coherent and orderly, with a balance of rigidity and flexibility. During practice, practitioners follow specific movement paths, use appropriate force to stretch and rotate the shoulder joint, enhance the tolerance of muscles and bones, promote blood circulation, and stimulate the meridians and collaterals, thereby regulating the flow of qi and blood. In summary, shoulder circumference exercise trains the shoulder muscles and bones in accordance with the practitioner's own physiological laws, gradually maximizing its effectiveness. Each movement of shoulder circumference exercise is based on muscle and tendon training, while also involving the meridians and collaterals. It achieves the goals of shoulder joint prevention, health maintenance, and rehabilitation through an external-to-internal approach, ultimately aiming to unblock meridians, activate collaterals, an
