Clinical applications and mechanisms of the massage therapy in the treatment of metabolic syndrome
Metabolic syndrome,also known as insulin resistance syndrome,involves components such as hypertension,hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia.These components jointly promote the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases,seriously threatening human health and affecting their quality of life.As western medicine usually deals with only one single component and one single target,it cannot satisfy the desired expectations with regard to the control of metabolic syndrome,rendering its prevention and treatment as the top priority of its future management.Traditional Chinese medicine is characterized by multi-targets and holistic regulation in the control,prevention and treatment of a disease,and the massage therapy maintains an obvious advantage in the treatment of metabolic diseases in harmonizing yin and yang,regulating the functions of viscera and promoting the circulation of qi and blood.This paper means to explore and summarize the clinical applications,limitations,and mechanisms of the massage therapy in the treatment of the various components of metabolic syndrome.
