Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of health care, and in particular, relates to a Daoyin massage method for avoiding tissue damage by using flexible mechanics transmission in Daoyin massage. BACKGROUND

[0002] As an important part of the traditional Chinese medicine system, the external treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine guided by the meridian theory and blood theory, especially represented by the massage therapy, has formed a unique diagnosis and treatment and rehabilitation system through thousands of years of clinical practice and theoretical evolution. The core idea of the system is to apply regular and skillful manipulations to specific parts or acupoints on the surface of the human body in order to regulate the unbalanced physiological state of the body, dredge the meridians, and harmonize the blood, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing diseases, relieving symptoms, and even treating stubborn diseases. In the long-term development process, the massage manipulation has been continuously enriched, and its application scope has also been expanded from simple orthopedic rehabilitation to internal, external, women and children, etc. in multiple clinical fields, becoming a widely recognized natural therapy without drugs.

[0003] In the traditional practice of massage technology, in order to achieve the therapeutic effect of "force reaching the disease", that is, the action force penetrates the surface tissue and reaches the deep muscle, fascia, and even bone and joint, the operator usually adopts a series of manipulations characterized by direct and rigid mechanics transmission. For example, through pressing, rubbing, rolling, pointing, bouncing and other methods, the force of the operator's hand, elbow and other parts is applied to the specific treatment area of the patient in a relatively concentrated manner vertically or obliquely. The theoretical basis of this technical paradigm is that through sufficient external physical stimulation, the tense or spastic muscle fiber bundles can be directly relaxed, the pathological adhesions between tissues can be peeled off, and the micro-joint dislocation can be corrected, so as to quickly relieve local pain and improve joint mobility. Specifically, when facing muscle stiffness or cord-like induration, the traditional manipulation often tends to adopt the strategy of "breaking the knot with force", that is, through repeated and forceful pressing and kneading, the shape and texture of the diseased tissue are physically changed. Under a specific historical period and technical cognitive level, this direct and efficient mechanical intervention mode has indeed shown its significant clinical value and irreplaceable role in dealing with acute injuries and superficial soft tissue problems.

[0004] However, with the deepening of the study of the stress-strain relationship of human soft tissue by modern biomechanics, tissue physiology and rehabilitation medicine, the inherent mechanical contradictions and potential risks of the traditional massage paradigm characterized by direct and strong penetration have gradually emerged. The reason is that human soft tissue is not a homogeneous mechanical medium, but a complex composite of multiple layers of viscoelastic materials with different mechanical properties, including skin, subcutaneous fat, superficial fascia, deep fascia, and muscle. The traditional rigid mechanical application method has a single and direct force transmission path, and when trying to penetrate the superficial tissue to act on the deep target, it is easy to produce high stress concentration at the force application point and the surrounding area. This concentrated stress, before reaching the threshold value of effective stimulation of deep tissue, often exceeds the physiological tolerance limit of the surface and intermediate layers of tissue, causing unnecessary microtissue tearing, capillary rupture, and the release of inflammatory mediators. This secondary damage caused by the treatment behavior itself not only brings obvious pain to the patient, affecting their treatment experience and compliance, but the deeper contradiction is that it may start a physiological repair cycle that is contrary to the original intention of treatment. The inflammatory response and fibrin exudation produced by the body to repair these minor injuries, under repeated strong stimulation, may lead to new fibrosis and tissue adhesion, forming a dilemma of 'old wounds not healed, and new ones added'. This contradiction is particularly prominent for chronic overuse injuries and deep fascia disorders that require delicate regulation. In addition, high external pressure can also trigger the body's neuroprotective reflex, causing the target muscle group to involuntarily contract and resist, increasing the difficulty of operation and the risk of further injury.

[0005] Therefore, how to ensure that the treatment force can effectively penetrate to the deep lesion while avoiding unnecessary stress response and physical damage to the soft tissue along the way due to the direct and rigid mechanical transmission method, that is, how to build a new type of hand technique mechanical model that can achieve flexible and diffuse transmission of force among multiple layers of tissue, thereby achieving the precise treatment effect of 'deep penetration without damage', has become a key challenge and technical problem to be solved in the current massage and rehabilitation field. SUMMARY

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to overcome the technical defects in the prior art of massage technology, that is, when trying to penetrate the action force to the deep tissue, stress concentration, micro-damage and secondary inflammatory reaction of the soft tissue on the surface and intermediate layer are inevitable due to the direct and rigid mechanical application mode. The prior art paradigm presents singularity and impact on the mechanical transmission path, and its essence is to simplify the multi-level and complex viscoelastic soft tissue complex of the human body as a homogeneous medium, thereby causing an inherent contradiction between treatment benefit and tissue damage. This contradiction is particularly prominent when dealing with chronic overuse injuries, deep fascia disorders and other conditions that require fine regulation, which limits the safety, accuracy and treatment depth of the massage therapy.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned application purposes, the present application provides a Taoist massage method for avoiding tissue damage by using flexible mechanical conduction, which aims to establish a new closed-loop control system based on a layer-controlled shear wave guiding mechanical model and a biological impedance coupling feedback. The core technical concept of the method is to change the rigid force transmission mode in the traditional massage, which is mainly vertical pressing and single direction, into a flexible conduction mechanism that realizes the layer-by-layer, diffuse and non-damaging penetration of mechanical energy by exciting, guiding and regulating low-frequency and small-amplitude transverse shear waves in a specific tissue layer, and using the viscoelastic coupling effect between tissues. Through this mechanism, the mechanical action can be accurately "anchored" to the fascia or muscle group at the target depth, and the stress generated on the non-target tissue on the transmission path is controlled below the physiological safety threshold, thereby fundamentally solving the conflict between deep treatment effect and shallow tissue protection.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by the present application is to construct a Taoist massage method for avoiding tissue damage by using flexible mechanical conduction, which is characterized in that the method is not dependent on a single and high-intensity external pressure input, but is based on a three-in-one technical framework composed of "tissue stress dynamic dispersion technology", "layer-controlled shear wave guiding technology" and "biological impedance coupling feedback technology". The method converts the operator's skill output into a controllable mechanical wave field that propagates in the multi-layer soft tissue structure through a series of accurately defined and sequential operation steps, and realizes precise, efficient and non-destructive mechanical intervention on the target lesion area.

[0009] Specifically, the Taoist massage method for avoiding tissue damage by using flexible mechanical conduction comprises the following steps:

[0010] Step one: superficial fascia pretreatment and bioimpedance baseline calibration. This step is the mechanical basis and data reference for all subsequent layer-controlled operations. The operator first makes the subject adopt a prone position, ensuring that the back muscle group is in a natural relaxed state. The operator uses the complete palm of his hands, especially the thenar eminence and the heel of the palm, as the main mechanical interface, gently adheres to the foot-taiyang bladder meridian running area on both sides of the subject's spine. The core technical points of this stage are not to apply pressure, but to perform a low-frequency, small-amplitude tangential drive. The operator takes the shoulder joint as the axis, through the small and stable rotation of the torso, drives the arms and palms, under the condition of static friction without relative sliding with the skin, to apply a tangential driving force to the entire superficial fascia of the back at a frequency range of 0.5 Hz to 1.5 Hz. The amplitude of the driving force is precisely controlled between 2 mm and 4 mm. The mechanical purpose of this operation is to induce shear waves that propagate horizontally within the superficial fascia, rather than vertical pressure concentration. The role of the shear wave is to initially load the superficial fascia network with stress, break the static stress balance and weak cross-linking between collagen fibers that may exist, and restore its inherent viscoelasticity. At the same time, a miniature bioimpedance monitoring module integrated with the operator's hand or specific finger is activated. The module is composed of four microelectrode arrays and works on the four-pole measurement principle. It emits a weak sinusoidal alternating current with a frequency of 50 kHz and a current intensity of less than 100 μA to the tissue and real-time collects the complex impedance data below the operation area, including resistance (R) and reactance (X). Within 90-120 seconds of the above low-frequency tangential drive, the module continuously records the changes in impedance values until the numerical fluctuations converge to a stable interval. The average value of the stable interval is calibrated by the system as the "superficial fascia bioimpedance baseline" of the current physiological state of the subject, providing individualized and quantitative reference standards for subsequent deep operations.

[0011] Step two: Micro-dynamic shear wave release of cranial suture and galea aponeurotica. After completing the baseline calibration of the back, the operation is transferred to the head. This step aims to address the problems of headache, head swelling, etc. caused by high tension of the head galea aponeurotica. The operator places his fingers on the Du Meridian, Gallbladder Meridian and Sanjiao Meridian lines on the patient's head, especially targeting the sagittal suture, coronal suture and lambdoid suture. The technical core is to apply a higher frequency and smaller amplitude shear wave. The operator's finger pads are in close contact with the scalp, and through the high-frequency, small-amplitude vibration of the wrist joint, a tangential shear vibration with a frequency of 5-8 Hz and an amplitude of less than 1 mm is generated. The vibration energy is directly coupled to the galea aponeurotica layer. Since the galea aponeurotica is a dense fibrous tissue, it is connected loosely to the underlying cranial dura mater, and this high-frequency, small-amplitude shear wave can effectively propagate within the galea aponeurotica layer, releasing the internal collagen fiber adhesion and reducing the overall tension of the galea aponeurotica, while avoiding any direct impact on the skull. This operation moves slowly along the meridian lines mentioned above at a speed of 2-3 cm per second, ensuring that the entire galea aponeurotica is uniformly mechanically processed. The bioimpedance monitoring module continuously monitors the impedance changes of the galea aponeurotica layer during this step. When a significant, transient peak in the reactance value (X) is detected, followed by a drop, it indicates that the viscoelastic potential energy of the galea aponeurotica has been effectively released, and the operation endpoint is reached.

[0012] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present application, after the completion of step two, step three is performed: multi-vector layer-controlled separation of trapezius and levator scapulae complex. This step is the key embodiment of the layer-controlled mechanical conduction technology of the present application, and is used to deal with complex muscle fascial adhesions in the shoulder and neck. The operator first locates the anatomical boundary between the upper trapezius muscle fiber and the deep levator scapulae muscle. The operator fixes one hand on the patient's acromion as a stable anchor point; the other hand, with the lateral edge of the index finger and middle finger, forms a "V" shaped structure, which is embedded in the fascial space between the two muscle groups. Here, the way of applying force has undergone a fundamental change. Instead of applying a single directional force, the operator applies a complex force field composed of two force vectors. One vector is a longitudinal traction force along the muscle fiber direction with a frequency of 1.5 to 2.5 Hz, aiming to slightly stretch the muscle fiber bundle; the other vector is a transverse shear force perpendicular to the muscle fiber direction with a frequency of 3 to 5 Hz. The two orthogonal and different frequency mechanical vibrations are applied simultaneously, and their combined effect is to induce a micro "eddy current" effect in the fascial layer between the two muscle groups. This eddy current field can efficiently liquefy the matrix in the fascial interstitium, break the pathological fiber cross-linking, and achieve accurate separation of the two muscle functional units at the fascial level. The bioimpedance monitoring module plays a role in judging the separation effect. When the probe crosses the separated fascial layer, a step change in impedance value will be detected, and the amplitude of this change is positively correlated with the degree of separation. The operator adjusts the frequency and amplitude ratio of the two force vectors in real time according to the step amplitude until the maximum impedance step is obtained, indicating that the separation operation in this area has reached the optimal state.

[0013] After the completion of the third step, continue to perform step four: standing wave resonance and anterograde pushing of the deep fascia of the erector spinae muscle group. This step targets the thickest and deepest thoracolumbar fascia to solve the core pathology of chronic low back pain. The operator uses the elbow tip or ulna olecranon as the mechanical action point to obtain stronger mechanical penetration depth. The action point is placed on the erector spinae muscle belly on both sides of the spine about two finger widths away from the spinous process. The technical core of this step is the use of the principle of standing wave resonance. The operator first applies a constant, about 50 Newton, base pressure through the elbow to penetrate the superficial fascia and stably "anchor" the deep erector spinae fascia. Subsequently, the operator generates a frequency-precise and controllable vertical vibration along the arm to the elbow tip by taking the trunk as the vibration source. The frequency of the vibration is not arbitrarily set, but is dynamically optimized through bioimpedance feedback. The operator slowly sweeps the frequency in the range of 1.0 Hz to 3.0 Hz with a step of 0.1 Hz. The bioimpedance monitoring module monitors the energy absorption efficiency at this time, and the quantitative indicator is the ratio of reactance (X) to resistance (R). When the driving frequency is consistent with the natural resonance frequency of the deep fascia layer, the mechanical energy is maximally absorbed, and resonance occurs inside the tissue, which is manifested as a sharp peak in the X / R ratio. Once the operator locks the resonance frequency, it is maintained for 30 to 45 seconds of continuous vibration. The resonance effect causes the mechanical energy to form a standing wave in the deep fascia, greatly improving the energy utilization efficiency, and enabling the intense and non-destructive release of deep tissues without increasing the surface pressure. After completing the fixed-point resonance, the operator maintains the resonance frequency and performs anterograde pushing along the erector spinae muscle from top to bottom at a constant speed of 1 cm per second, extending the release effect to the entire muscle group.

[0014] As a more specific embodiment of the present application, after step four is performed, step five is performed: fixed-point vortex force field application on shoulder joint capsule and subscapularis fascia. This step is specifically designed for treating periarthritis and other conditions involving adhesion of joint capsule. The subject is repositioned in a lateral decubitus position, with the affected shoulder joint upward. The operator precisely locates the subscapularis fascia attachment below the scapular spine using the thumb pad as the action point. The mechanical model applied here is a further deepening of the vortex force field in step three. The operator's thumb performs a small radius (about 2 to 3 mm) circular motion at a frequency of 2 to 4 Hz while applying a basic vertical pressure directed at the joint capsule. This compound motion generates a highly concentrated, three-dimensional spiral shear force field at the interface between the subscapularis fascia and the underlying joint capsule, i.e., a "fixed-point vortex force field". This force field can effectively introduce mechanical energy into the joint capsule folds that are usually difficult to access, thereby loosening their adhesion to the surrounding soft tissues. The bioimpedance probe is arranged in a ring array around the thumb, and by analyzing the impedance changes between different electrode pairs, the distribution of the underlying stress field can be reconstructed in real time. The operator adjusts the radius, frequency, and vertical pressure of the circular motion accordingly to ensure that the center of the vortex force field is accurately aligned with the area of greatest impedance abnormality (i.e., the most severe adhesion).

[0015] Step six is then performed: retrograde traction and segmental reduction of paraspinal multifidus and rotatores muscles. This step aims to make fine segmental adjustments to the spine, complementing the anterograde push in step four. The operator symmetrically places the index and middle finger tips of both hands as action points in the lamina groove between the transverse and spinous processes of the target vertebral body (e.g., lumbar L4 / L5). The technical core lies in the generation of "retrograde traction waves". The operator's hands work in coordination, operating in an alternating, bottom-up "pull-release" pattern. Specifically, when the right hand pulls, the left hand is in a release state, and vice versa, with an alternating frequency of 1.0 Hz. Each pull includes a small, cephalad-directed traction component. This alternating, retrograde traction pattern generates a peristaltic wave in the deep multifidus and rotatores muscles that propagates upward along the spine. This peristaltic wave gently and segmentally pulls open the intervertebral space, relieving nerve root compression, and mechanically induces self-reduction of small vertebral rotation malpositions. This process does not require any high-risk, rapid "pulling methods" or impact-based pushing forces, and is completely within the physiological movement range. The bioimpedance module is used in this step to monitor changes in the intervertebral space. When the impedance value between two adjacent vertebral bodies reaches its maximum value within the physiological activity range, it indicates that the traction of this segment has reached a safe and effective limit.

[0016] Further, step seven is performed: flattening and tension rebalancing of the lateral abdominal muscle group and the lateral seam of the thoracolumbar fascia. The purpose of this step is to address the tension imbalance of the lateral chain of the torso, which is closely related to spinal stability. The subject remains in a lateral decubitus position. The operator uses the ulnar border of his entire forearm as the interface, starting from above the iliac crest, covering a large area of the external oblique muscle, internal oblique muscle and anterior serratus muscle. The force applied by the operator is a large-area, low-intensity, rolling surface pressure. Specifically, the operator uses the forearm as a "rolling shaft" to perform a slow rolling from the back of the body to the front of the body on the basis of a constant pressure of about 20 to 30 Newton. This rolling action produces a transverse "flattening" effect on the lateral seam of the thoracolumbar fascia (the fascial junction of the transverse abdominis and internal oblique muscles), like ironing out the wrinkles of cloth. This operation can effectively release the fascial torsional stress accumulated by torso rotation and restore the sliding properties between the muscle layers of the lateral abdominal wall. This process is extremely slow, with a speed of about 10 seconds per 5 centimeters of travel, ensuring that the tissue has enough time to creep, rather than produce elastic resistance.

[0017] Finally, step eight is performed: whole-body fascial network integration and stress field homogenization treatment. This is the final step of the entire method, and the technical purpose is not to apply new therapeutic stimulation, but to systematically integrate the mechanical changes caused by all the previous local operations, eliminate potential new stress concentration points, and make the whole-body fascial tension network reach a new, more optimal balance state. The operator resumes using the complete palm of both hands to perform a large-scale, multi-directional, non-fixed trajectory, Tai Chi Cloud Hand-like touch on the subject's whole body, including the back, limbs and lateral torso, with extremely gentle contact. The technical core of this stage is "zero force gradient" tracking. The bioimpedance module under the operator's palm switches to a high sensitivity mode to monitor the extremely subtle impedance changes under the skin in real time, which reflect the local residual, not fully released stress points. The operator's palm acts as a passive sensor, and its movement trajectory is completely guided by these "high impedance points". When the palm moves to an area with slightly higher impedance, the operation is performed in this area with extremely slow, pressureless spiraling until the impedance value of the area returns to the average level of the surrounding area. This process is essentially a process of using the operator's hand as a biofeedback actuator to finally "level" the whole-body stress field, ensuring that the final result of the entire treatment process is the harmonious unity of the whole-body tension, rather than just the solution to local problems.

[0018] In summary, the present application improves the traditional and empirical method to a scientific, quantifiable and highly safe tissue engineering intervention method by constructing a set of massage method including specific mechanical model (shear wave, standing wave resonance, eddy current force field), accurate operation procedure (frequency, amplitude, vector control) and closed-loop feedback system (bioimpedance monitoring). It not only realizes the flexible and deep conduction of force in the tissue, avoids the damage to the tissue along the way, but also significantly improves the treatment effect of deep complex lesions through layer control type accurate attack, thereby solving the fundamental contradiction existing in the background technology.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, specific embodiments will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the protection scope of the present application.

[0024] The Taoist massage method provided in the present application uses flexible mechanical conduction to avoid tissue damage, and the core is to overturn the traditional massage mechanical transmission paradigm mainly based on vertical pressure, and instead to construct a new technical system based on controllable, low-frequency and small-amplitude shear wave as the main mechanical carrier, supplemented by real-time feedback of bioimpedance for closed-loop control. The system realizes the high unification of treatment effect and tissue protection by accurate frequency, amplitude and vector control, and guides the mechanical energy to the target depth of fascia or muscle group in a non-damaging way. Figure 1The illustrated closed-loop control system diagram, the implementation of the entire method relies on a dynamic, intelligent interaction loop formed between the operator 10, the manual output 20, the subject tissue 30 and the bioimpedance monitoring module 40. The operator 10 continuously optimizes his manual output 20 according to the real-time data 50 fed back by the bioimpedance monitoring module 40, so as to exert the most accurate and effective mechanical intervention on the subject tissue 30, forming a complete closed-loop control system 100.

[0025] In a specific implementation scenario, the implementation environment of the method is strictly controlled to exclude external interference and ensure that the subject is in the best physiological receiving state. The temperature of the operating environment is maintained at 24 to 26 degrees Celsius, the relative humidity is controlled at 50% to 60%, and the background noise level is below 40 decibels. The subject adopts a specific body position on a professional physiotherapy bed with a face mask and chest and abdominal support pads to ensure that the whole body skeletal muscle is in the maximum passive relaxation state, creating ideal initial conditions for subsequent mechanical transmission.

[0026] The specific implementation steps of the method are described as follows:

[0027] First, Step 1: Superficial Fascia Pretreatment and Bioimpedance Baseline Calibration. This step is the mechanical premise and data reference for all subsequent fine operations. The subject adopts a prone position, with the head placed in the face mask to ensure the neutralization of the cervical spine, and the arms naturally placed on both sides of the body. The operator 10 uses the complete palm of his hands, especially the thick muscle of the thenar eminence and the heel region, as a large-area mechanical action interface, gently and completely adheres to the bilateral superficial fascia along the bladder meridian of Foot-Taiyin along the spine. Before formally applying mechanical driving, there is a silent contact period of about 15 seconds, aiming to achieve thermal mechanical equilibrium between the operator's palm and the subject's back skin, and establish preliminary neural perception adaptation. Then, the operator uses his hip and core muscles as the power source to produce a small but extremely stable periodic rotation through the torso, which is accurately transmitted to the palm through the structure of his rigid but not stiff arms. This action applies a tangential driving force to the entire back superficial fascia system under the condition of pure static friction coupling without any relative slip between the skin. The frequency of this driving force is accurately controlled in the extremely low frequency range of 0.5 to 1.5 Hz, and the tangential displacement amplitude is limited to 2 to 4 mm. The physical nature of this operation is to excite and guide the propagation of transverse shear waves in the two-dimensional plane of the superficial fascia, rather than producing vertical compressive stress on the tissue. The action of this shear wave is to gently disturb the collagen fibers and matrix in the superficial fascia network, break the weak pathological cross-linking that may be formed due to long-term static load, and restore the viscoelastic properties necessary for the superficial fascia as a mechanical transmission medium.

[0028] While the tangential drive is being performed, a micro bioimpedance monitoring module 40 integrated with the operator's palm or specific finger is activated. The module preferably uses flexible printed circuit board (FPC) as the substrate, and integrates four Ag / AgCl microelectrodes arranged in linear equidistance. Its working principle is tetrapolar. The outer two electrodes are used as current injection terminals, emitting a safe sinusoidal alternating current with a frequency of 50 kHz and a peak current intensity strictly limited to 100 microamperes or less to the tissue. The inner two electrodes are used as voltage pickup terminals, measuring the voltage drop generated by the current in the tissue. The signal processing unit inside the module uses a high-precision lock-in amplifier to perform phase-sensitive demodulation on the collected voltage signal, thereby real-time analyzing the complex impedance of the tissue and decomposing it into resistance impedance value (R) representing the ion conduction path and reactance value (X) representing the cell membrane capacitance effect. During the entire 90-120 second period of low-frequency tangential drive, the control system collects and records the dynamic change curves of R and X values at a rate of 100 times per second. In the initial stage of operation, due to the change of fascia stress state and the micro flow of tissue fluid, the impedance reading will show a certain degree of fluctuation. As the operation continues, the fascia network gradually reaches a new mechanical equilibrium state, and the fluctuation of impedance value will significantly decrease and converge to a stable interval. The system software algorithm will automatically determine this convergence state, for example, when the standard deviation of impedance value is less than 0.5% of its average value for 30 consecutive seconds, the system will mark the average value of R and X values in this stable interval as the "shallow fascia bioimpedance baseline" (R_base, X_base) of the subject under the current physiological state. This baseline value not only reflects the uniqueness of individual tissue, but also becomes a personalized and quantitative reference standard for judging mechanical effects and evaluating tissue responses in all subsequent deep operations.

[0029] After the baseline calibration of the back is completed, the operation is transferred to the head, and step two is performed: microdynamic shear wave loosening of the cranial suture and the galea aponeurotica. This step is specifically designed to treat the high tension of the galea aponeurotica caused by long-term mental stress or poor posture, which in turn causes tension headaches, head swelling, and related autonomic nervous function disorders. The subject's body position remains unchanged or is changed to a supine position. The operator uses the finger pads of the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger of both hands to form a wide and flexible action interface, which covers the meridians of the subject's head, including the Du meridian (the median line), the Gallbladder meridian (the lateral head), and the Sanjiao meridian (around the ear), with special attention to the main cranial suture junctions such as the sagittal suture, coronal suture, and lambdoid suture. The technical core of this step is the application of a higher frequency and smaller amplitude micro-shear vibration. The finger pads of the operator are in close and pressure-free contact with the scalp, and through the highly coordinated and isometric contraction of the wrist flexor and extensor muscles, a tangential micro-vibration with a frequency accurately controlled within the range of 5 to 8 Hz and an amplitude strictly limited to less than 1 mm is generated. The shear wave energy generated by this high-frequency micro-vibration is efficiently coupled to the subcutaneous galea aponeurotica layer. Since the galea aponeurotica itself is a strong and dense fibrous connective tissue, and it is separated from the underlying cranial periosteum by a layer of loose connective tissue (galea aponeurotica sub-space), this loose layer plays a role similar to a "vibration isolation layer" in mechanics. Therefore, this high-frequency micro-amplitude shear wave can effectively propagate within the galea aponeurotica layer, like a high-frequency acoustic wave cleaning, loosening the microscopic adhesion between collagen fibers in the tendon, reducing the overall tension, and completely avoiding any mechanical impact or vibration transmission to the skull and intracranial structures due to the extremely small amplitude and lack of vertical component. During operation, the operator's fingers move along the meridian lines at a very slow speed of 2 to 3 cm per second, ensuring that the entire galea aponeurotica area is uniformly and adequately mechanically treated. During this process, the bioimpedance monitoring module continuously monitors the impedance changes of the galea aponeurotica layer. An effective operation endpoint marker is the observation of a significant, approximately 15% to 25% amplitude, transient peak in the reactance value (X), followed by a rapid drop and stabilization at a new platform that is 5% to 10% lower than the initial value. The biophysical explanation of this phenomenon is that the reactance value mainly reflects the capacitive properties of the tissue, i.e., the ability of the cell membrane to store electric charge, and is related to the elastic potential energy of the tissue; the transient peak indicates that the internal tension potential energy of the galea aponeurotica is instantaneously released under the action of the shear wave, and the subsequent stable low value marks that the tissue has reached a new, lower tension equilibrium state.

[0030] Further, after the treatment of the upper thoracic head is completed, the focus of the operation is shifted to the core lesion area of the shoulder and neck, and step three, multi-vector layer control separation of the trapezius and levator scapula complex, is performed. This step is the key application of the layer control mechanical transmission technology of the present application, and is aimed at non-invasively solving the fascial adhesions of the deep muscle groups such as the levator scapulae located in the deep surface of the upper bundle of the trapezius muscle caused by long-term desk work or poor posture. The subject resumes the prone position. The operator first locates the posterior edge of the upper bundle of the trapezius muscle and the anatomical boundary of the deep levator scapula muscle through precise surface dissection. The operator's one hand, for example, the left hand, with the palm downward, is firmly pressed on the subject's ipsilateral acromion area as a stable anchor point that does not produce sliding to resist the operating force and stabilize the scapula. The other hand, i.e. the operating hand, with the lateral edge of the index finger and middle finger forming a specific "V" shaped action structure with an angle of about 30 degrees, is precisely embedded into the fascial space between the two muscle groups. Here, the application mode of mechanics has undergone a fundamental change from a single vector to a complex force field. The mechanical principle is as follows Figure 2As shown, the fingers of the operator 10 are within the fascial space 303, while exerting two orthogonal and inharmonic mechanical vibrations on the trapezius 301 and levator scapulae 302. The first force vector is a longitudinal traction force 31 along the direction of muscle fiber running, whose frequency is controlled between 1.5 Hz to 2.5 Hz, generated by slight, periodic oscillation of the operator's forearm, aiming to gently stretch the muscle fiber bundles, putting them in a kind of "pre-stressed" state. The second force vector is a transverse shear force 32 perpendicular to the direction of muscle fiber, whose frequency is set at a higher range of 3 Hz to 5 Hz, generated by micro-vibration of the operator's wrist and fingers, similar to the technique in step two. These two frequency-different, direction-orthogonal mechanical vibrations are applied simultaneously, whose combined effect is to induce a kind of microscopic, complex mechanical disturbance within the fascial layer between the two muscle groups, which can be figuratively called "microscopic eddy current" effect. This composite force field can efficiently act on the matrix in the fascial interstitium, especially the hyaluronic acid macromolecules therein, through a physical and chemical process named "thixotropy" or "thixotropic", to make them transform from a viscous gel state to a more flowable sol state. This state transformation greatly reduces the sliding resistance between the fascial layers, and can effectively cut off the pathological collagen fiber cross-linking formed due to inflammation or strain, so as to realize the accurate and minimally invasive separation of the two muscle functional units at the fascial layer without applying any high-intensity tearing force. In this process, the role of the bio-impedance monitoring module is transformed into real-time quantitative evaluation of the separation effect. When the probe electrodes cross the fascial layer being separated, a stepwise and significant drop in electrical impedance (R) will be detected due to the emergence of a newly formed, low-impedance gap rich in tissue fluid. The amplitude of this drop shows a strong positive correlation with the completeness of the separation. The operator adjusts the frequency, amplitude ratio of the longitudinal traction force 31 and the transverse shear force 32 in real time according to the impedance step amplitude displayed on the control system screen, to seek the combination of operating parameters that can trigger the maximum impedance step. When the impedance step amplitude reaches the maximum and tends to be stable, it marks that the separation operation of this particular region has reached the optimal effect.

[0031] After completing the separation of the complex structure of the shoulder and neck, step four is continued: standing wave resonance and antegrade pushing of the deep fascia of the erector spinae muscle group. This step targets the thickest and deepest thoracolumbar fascia, especially its deep lamina, which is the core technical link for solving chronic low back pain caused by its dysfunction. The operator changes the mechanical action point to the elbow tip (ulnar olecranon) 41, using its bony structure to obtain stronger mechanical penetration ability and smaller action area, thereby realizing energy focusing. The action point is accurately placed at the apical point of the erector spinae muscle group 42 on both sides of the spine, about two finger widths away from the spinous process. The technical core of this step is the innovative biomechanical application of the principle of "standing wave resonance" in physics, whose schematic diagram is as follows Figure 3The operator first applies a constant, about 50 Newtons of base pressing force through the elbow, which is just enough to penetrate the skin, fat and superficial fascia of the surface layer, and stably "anchor" on the target deep fascia 44. This anchoring process is confirmed by bioimpedance feedback, when there is a significant jump in impedance value and stabilized, indicating that the more dense deep structure has been contacted. Subsequently, the operator locks his shoulder, elbow, wrist joints, and uses his core muscle group to make the entire torso a controllable vibration source, generating a vertically vibrating along the rigid transmission rod of the arm to the elbow tip 41 with a frequency precisely adjustable. The frequency of the vibration is not a fixed value preset, but is dynamically optimized by bioimpedance feedback. The control system starts an automatic frequency sweep program, instructing the operator to slowly change its vibration frequency in a potential resonance frequency range of 1.0-3.0 Hz with a step of 0.1 Hz. At the same time, the bioimpedance monitoring module 40 monitors and calculates a key performance indicator in real time: the ratio of reactance (X) to resistance (R) (X / R). This ratio reflects the ability of the tissue to absorb and store energy in bioelectricity. When the external driving frequency matches the inherent resonance frequency of the deep fascia layer 44, mechanical energy is maximally absorbed and converted into elastic deformation energy inside the tissue, rather than dissipated as heat energy, and resonance occurs inside the tissue, which is macroscopically manifested as a sharp, significant peak in the X / R ratio. Once the system software captures the frequency corresponding to this resonance peak (e.g. 2.3 Hz), it will lock the frequency and prompt the operator to maintain the frequency for 30-45 seconds of continuous vibration. The resonance effect makes the mechanical waves transmitted by the elbow tip interfere with the waves reflected from the deep skeletal structure (such as the transverse process of the vertebra), forming a standing wave 43 in the deep fascia. The standing wave is characterized by zero displacement at the node and maximum amplitude at the antinode, which allows the mechanical stress to be highly concentrated in a specific deep area, thereby achieving intense and non-destructive release of deep tissue without increasing the surface pressing force. After completing the point resonance, the operator maintains the resonance frequency and base pressure, and pushes the standing wave forward along the direction of the erector spinae muscle from the thoracic to the lumbar segment at a constant speed of about 1 cm per second, as a moving resonance probe, smoothly extending the efficient release effect to the entire muscle group.

[0032] As a more specific embodiment of the present application, after the core muscle groups of the posterior chain of the torso are treated, step five, application of a focused eddy current force field to the shoulder joint capsule and subscapularis fascia, can be performed to address issues of limited shoulder joint function. This step is specifically designed to treat stubborn conditions involving fibrosis and adhesion of the joint capsule, such as "frozen shoulder" or "fifty-fifty shoulder". The subject is repositioned in a lateral decubitus position, with the affected shoulder joint facing upwards, the upper arm is flexed forward at an angle of about 45 degrees to the torso, and the elbow joint is flexed at 90 degrees, so that the subscapularis muscle is in a state of moderate stretch. The operator uses the pulp of his thumb as a fine point of action, and through palpation of the body surface, precisely locates the region where the subscapularis fascia attaches to the greater tubercle of the humerus, just inferior to the scapular spine. This region is the posterior joint capsule of the shoulder joint. The mechanical model applied here is a three-dimensional version of the "micro eddy current" effect described in step three. While applying a vertical pressure of about 30 to 50 Newtons directed at the center of the joint capsule, the operator's interphalangeal joint and metacarpophalangeal joint work in concert to perform a smooth circular motion with a small radius (about 2 to 3 mm) and a frequency of 2 to 4 Hz. The combination of vertical pressure and tangential circular motion generates a highly concentrated, three-dimensional, spiral-shaped shear force field at the interface of the subscapularis fascia and the underlying joint capsule, i.e. a "focused eddy current force field". This force field can effectively introduce mechanical energy in the form of shear waves into the folds and recesses of the joint capsule that are inaccessible to conventional manual techniques, liquefy the matrix of the adhesion region through the effect of shear wave, and gently stretch and remodel the contracted collagen fibers. To achieve the ultra-high precision guidance of this process, the bioimpedance probe used in this step is designed as a ring array arranged around the base of the operator's thumb. By quickly switching different electrode pairs for measurement, and using a simplified version of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) algorithm, the control system can reconstruct the impedance distribution map in a two-dimensional plane under the thumb in real time and visually. Regions with severe adhesion and dense tissue will appear as high impedance areas. The operator adjusts the center position, radius, frequency of the circular motion, and the size of the vertical pressure according to the real-time impedance map displayed on the screen, to ensure that the energy core of the eddy current force field can accurately and continuously target the "hot spot" (i.e. the region with the most severe adhesion) on the impedance map, so as to achieve surgical precision.

[0033] Subsequently, for more delicate segmental adjustment of the spine, Step 6: Retrograde traction and segmental reduction of the paraspinal multifidus and rotatores muscles can be performed. This step is functionally complementary to the anterograde push of Step 4, aiming to restore the micro-mobility of the intervertebral segment and relieve nerve root irritation caused by discogenic or facet joint disorders. The operator places the tips of his index and middle fingers, as a fine, deep-intravertebral-process-groove-able action point, symmetrically into the deep groove between the transverse and spinous processes of the functional segment of interest (e.g. the most clinically commonly problematic lumbar segments L4 / L5 or L5 / S1). The technical core of this step is the generation of a special mechanical pattern called "retrograde traction wave". The operator's hands perform a highly coordinated, alternating, inferior-to-superior (caudal-to-cephalad) "pull-release" pattern. Specifically, when the right hand's fingers are pulling, the left hand's fingers are in a released and inferiorly moving position, ready for the next pull, and vice versa. The frequency of this alternating action is precisely controlled at 1.0 Hz. Each "pull" action contains a tiny, cephalad-directed traction component in its force vector, with a force of only 10 to 20 Newtons. This continuous, alternating, retrograde (against the direction of gravity) traction pattern generates a mechanical wave, similar to a peristaltic motion, propagating cephalad along the spine, in the multifidus and rotatores muscles, which are the deepest and most segmentally stabilizing muscles of the spine, i.e. a "peristaltic wave". This peristaltic wave can very gently, segmentally, pull open the posterior part of the intervertebral space, create a negative pressure environment for the intervertebral disc, and mechanically induce the self-reduction of any tiny rotational misalignment of the vertebral bodies, within the physiologically active range. The entire process completely avoids any high-velocity, low-amplitude, potentially risky, impulsive pushing force of traditional bone-setting therapy. In this step, the electrodes of the bioimpedance module are placed on the spinous processes of the two adjacent vertebral bodies of the segment of interest, for real-time monitoring of the opening and closing of the intervertebral space. When the bioimpedance value between the two spinous processes (reflecting the changes in tissue distance and fluid content) reaches a preset maximum value within the physiologically active range, which is calibrated according to individual differences, the system will prompt the operator that the traction of this segment has reached a safe and effective limit, and should be transferred to the next segment.

[0034] Further, to address the issue of imbalance in the tension of the lateral chain of the torso, which is closely related to spinal stability, Step Seven is performed: Flattening and tension rebalancing of the lateral suture of the thoracolumbar fascia and the lateral abdominal muscle group. The subject is kept in a lateral decubitus position with the lower leg straight and the upper leg flexed at the hip and knee to increase the lateral excursion space of the lumbar spine. The operator uses the ulnar border of his entire forearm, from the elbow joint to the wrist joint, as a broad and smooth interface. This interface starts just above the iliac crest (superior margin of the pelvis) and covers the entire area of the external oblique muscle, internal oblique muscle and anterior rectus muscle down to the lower border of the anterior rectus muscle along the midaxillary line. The force applied by the operator is a large-area, low-intensity, rolling surface pressure. Specifically, the operator uses the forearm as a "rolling axle" to perform a very slow rolling from the back of the body to the front, on the basis of using the body weight change to apply a uniform and constant pressure of about 20 to 30 Newton. This rolling action produces a transverse "flattening" or "ironing" effect on the lateral suture of the thoracolumbar fascia (the junction of the transversus abdominis fascia and the internal oblique muscle fascia). This operation can effectively release the fascial torsional stress accumulated due to long-term asymmetric activities (such as unilateral lifting, playing golf, etc.), and restore the normal sliding between the muscle layers of the abdominal wall and between them and the thoracolumbar fascia. The speed of this process is strictly controlled to be at a speed of about 10 seconds per 5 centimeters of travel (0.5 centimeters per second), to ensure that the tissue has enough time to creep, i.e. to undergo a slow, permanent plastic deformation under constant stress, rather than just produce an elastic resistance that will quickly rebound.

[0035] Finally, step eight is performed: whole-body fascial network integration and stress field homogenization treatment. This is the convergence and integration step of the entire methodology, and its technical purpose is not to apply new, strong therapeutic stimuli, but to systematically integrate and rebalance the mechanical state changes induced by all the previous local, fine-tuned operations. The goal is to eliminate potential stress concentration points that may have been newly generated during the treatment, and to finally achieve a new, globally optimal, more uniformly distributed low-tension equilibrium state of the whole-body fascial tension network. The operator resumes using the full palmar surface of his hands, with extremely gentle, almost imperceptible contact, to perform a large-scale, multidirectional, non-fixed trajectory, cloud-hand-like motion, similar to the Tai Chi "Yunshou" movement, on the main fascial chains of the subject, including the entire back, the flexor and extensor chains of the limbs, and the lateral chains of the torso. The technical core of this stage is an advanced biofeedback mode called "zero force gradient" tracking. The large-area, high-density bioimpedance sensor array under the operator's palms switches to the highest sensitivity mode, which can monitor and visualize very subtle impedance changes in the subcutaneous tissue in real time. These small impedance inhomogeneities reflect residual stress points or uneven distribution of interstitial fluid that still exist in the local area and have not been completely released. The function of the operator's palms at this time changes from an active mechanical applicator to a passive, high-precision biofeedback actuator. Its movement trajectory is completely guided by the "impedance gradient" calculated by the control system software according to the real-time impedance map. When the palm moves to an area with slightly higher impedance than the surrounding average, the software algorithm will guide the operator to make very slow, non-additional pressure, small-range circling or pausing at this point. This continuous, non-pressure, slight contact, through the nerve reflex arc and the piezoelectric effect of the tissue, is enough to induce the autonomous relaxation of the area until the impedance value of the area returns to the level consistent with the surrounding tissue. This process is essentially a process of using the operator's hands as intelligent actuators to finally "fine-tune" the stress field of the whole body, ensuring that the final result of the entire treatment is systematic and harmonious, rather than just solving isolated, local problems.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] This example aims to verify the therapeutic effect of the method of the present application on chronic lower back pain.

[0038] Subject: Male, 45 years old, software engineer, complained of chronic waist and back soreness, stiffness for more than 3 years, aggravated after prolonged sitting, limited in bending activities. Diagnosed as thoracolumbar fascia dysfunction. Before treatment, the visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess the degree of pain, which was 7 / 10. The digital pressure threshold meter was used to measure the trigger point pressure threshold of the multifidus muscle, which was 1.5 kg / cm². The modified Schober test was used to measure the lumbar flexion range of motion, which was 4.2 cm.

[0039] The treatment process strictly follows the method described in the present application.

[0040] Step one: The subject's back is pre-treated with a shallow fascia, using tangential drive with a frequency of 1.0 Hz and an amplitude of 3 mm. After 110 seconds of operation, the bioimpedance monitoring module sets the baseline of the shallow fascia bioimpedance as: resistance impedance (R_base) = 452 Ω, reactance impedance (X_base) = 48 Ω.

[0041] Step four: For the erector spinae muscle group on both sides of the L3-L5 segment of the subject's lumbar spine, after applying a base pressure of 50 N, a sweep from 1.0 Hz to 3.0 Hz is performed. At 2.1 Hz, a sharp peak in the X / R ratio is observed (reaching 0.18, while the baseline ratio is 0.106), confirming this as the resonance frequency. The frequency is maintained at the fixed point resonance for 45 seconds, and then pushed down the erector spinae to the sacrum. During this process, the resistance impedance value of the region is monitored to decrease from 580 Ω at anchoring to 510 Ω after resonance.

[0042] Step six: For the L4 / L5 segment, a reverse traction operation is performed, and the inter-spinous resistance impedance value is monitored to increase from the initial 620 Ω to 685 Ω and then stabilize, reaching the safe traction limit.

[0043] Step seven: The lateral abdominal muscle groups on both sides are flattened.

[0044] Step eight: The whole-body fascia network integration is performed, which takes about 10 minutes, until the variance of the impedance distribution map of the main regions of the whole body is less than the preset threshold.

[0045] Immediately after the treatment, the subject's VAS pain score decreased to 2 / 10. After 24 hours of follow-up, the VAS score was 1 / 10, and the subject reported that the lumbar region felt relaxed and the range of motion improved significantly. The quadratus lumborum pressure pain threshold was retested and increased to 3.8 kg / cm², and the lumbar spine mobility in the modified Schober test increased to 6.5 cm.

[0046] Comparative Example 1

[0047] To make a comparison, another subject (male, 47 years old, VAS score 7 / 10, pressure pain threshold 1.6 kg / cm², Schober test 4.0 cm) similar to the subject in Example 1 was selected, and a traditional rigid mechanics massage method was used for intervention.

[0048] The operator used the elbow and thumb to perform a deep massage on the erector spinae and quadratus lumborum muscles of the subject's lumbar back, mainly using vertical pressing, including pressing, rubbing and poking. The operator judged the depth and intensity of the force by experience, and the peak pressure measured by the force pad could reach 180 N. The total operation time was similar to that of Example 1.

[0049] Immediately after the treatment, the VAS pain score of the subject decreased to 4 / 10, but was accompanied by obvious local muscle soreness. After 24 hours of follow-up, the VAS score was 3 / 10, and the local soreness still existed. The retest of the lumbar quadratus muscle tenderness threshold increased to 2.5 kg / cm2, and the lumbar spine mobility in the modified Schober test increased to 5.1 cm.

[0050] To further quantify and compare the biological effects of the two methods, venous blood was drawn from the two subjects before and 24 hours after the treatment, and the serum creatine kinase (CK) level was detected. This indicator is a sensitive marker of muscle cell damage.

[0051] Data comparison table

[0052] The following table summarizes the comparison of key indicators between Example 1 and Comparative Example 1:

[0053] Indicator item Example 1 (inventive method) Comparative Example 1 (conventional rigid method) VAS pain score (pre) 7 / 10 7 / 10 VAS pain score (post immediate) 2 / 10 4 / 10 VAS pain score (post 24h) 1 / 10 3 / 10 Pressure threshold (kg / cm2) (pre -> post) 1.5 → 3.8 (+153%) 1.6 → 2.5 (+56%) Lumbar spine mobility (cm) (pre -> post) 4.2 → 6.5 (+55%) 4.0 → 5.1 (+28%) Serum creatine kinase (CK, U / L) (pre) 150 155 Serum creatine kinase (CK, U / L) (post 24h) 162 (+8%) 380 (+145%) Mechanical parameters Flexible shear wave / resonance, peak pressure < 60 N, closed loop feedback control Rigid vertical pressing, peak pressure > 180 N, empirical control Subjective experience of the subject Process comfortable, painless, postoperative ease Process with significant pain, postoperative persistent soreness

[0054] From the above data comparison, it can be clearly seen that the Taoist massage method provided by the present application, which uses flexible mechanics transmission to avoid tissue damage, compared with the traditional rigid mechanics massage method, not only achieves superior pain relief and functional improvement effect, but also significantly avoids micro-damage to soft tissues (no significant increase in serum CK level), which proves its great advantages in safety, effectiveness and precision, and thus fundamentally solves the inherent contradiction between deep treatment effect and superficial tissue protection in the prior art.

[0055] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application. Any minor modification, equivalent replacement or improvement made in accordance with the technical essence of the present application to the above embodiment shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present application.

Claims

1. A Taoist massage method that utilizes flexible mechanical transmission to avoid tissue damage, characterized in that, This method is built upon a closed-loop control system (100) that integrates the operator's (10) manual output (20), the response of the patient's tissue (30), and bioimpedance monitoring (40), and includes the following steps: A controlled mechanical action with preset parameters is applied to a specific operating area of ​​the patient's body; the mechanical action is applied in a manner that aims to excite and guide transversely propagating shear waves within the target tissue layer, rather than primarily to generate vertical compressive stress, thereby achieving flexible transmission of mechanical energy. While applying the mechanical action, a bioimpedance monitoring module (40) integrated with or located adjacent to the operating interface emits a weak alternating current into the tissue under the operating area and collects complex impedance data reflecting changes in the physiological state of the tissue in real time; and The real-time acquired complex impedance data is used as a dynamic biofeedback signal (50) to guide the operator (10) to evaluate and adjust the parameters of the mechanical action in real time. The parameters include, but are not limited to, the frequency, amplitude, vector direction or combination thereof of the force, so that the effect of the mechanical action can achieve the preset treatment goal, while controlling the stress generated on non-target tissues in the conduction path below the physiological safety threshold.

2. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that, The step of using complex impedance data as a dynamic biofeedback signal (50) is specifically manifested in at least one of the following application modes: (a) Baseline calibration mode: In the initial pretreatment stage, by applying a specific mode of mechanical action, the complex impedance data are continuously monitored until the values ​​converge to a stable range, and the average value of the stable range is calibrated as the personalized bioimpedance baseline of the subject in the current physiological state, providing a quantitative reference standard for subsequent operations. (b) Resonance optimization mode: The vibration frequency of the mechanical action is swept within a specific frequency range, and the complex impedance parameter related to energy absorption efficiency is monitored in real time. When the index shows a peak indicating resonance, the corresponding frequency is locked as the optimal resonant frequency for efficient energy transfer to the target deep tissue. (c) Quantitative effect mode: In operations aimed at separating different tissue layers, monitor whether there is a step change in the complex impedance value across the separated interface, and use the magnitude of the step change to evaluate the degree and effect of tissue separation in real time and quantitatively. (d) Stress tracking mode: In the integrated end stage of treatment, the high-sensitivity mode is used to monitor the small impedance differences in various regions of the body and identify the areas with relatively high impedance values ​​as residual stress points, guiding the operator to perform targeted leveling treatment until the stress field distribution in the whole body tends to be uniform.

3. The method according to claim 2, characterized in that, The specific implementation steps of the baseline calibration mode (a) are as follows: The operator (10) places the entire palm of his hand against the superficial fascia area on the back of the patient, and applies a low-frequency, small-amplitude tangential driving force to the superficial fascia with a frequency range of 0.5 Hz to 1.5 Hz and an amplitude of 2 mm to 4 mm while maintaining static friction with no relative slippage between the palm and the skin. During this tangential drive process, the bioimpedance monitoring module (40) operates on the principle of quadrupole measurement, continuously collecting the tissue's electrical impedance (R) and reactance (X). The tangential driving operation is continued for 90 to 120 seconds until the fluctuations in the values ​​of impedance (R) and reactance (X) converge. The average values ​​within the stable interval after convergence are then labeled as the patient's superficial fascial bioimpedance baselines R_base and X_base, respectively.

4. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that, When the aforementioned mechanical action is applied to treat fascial adhesions between muscle groups, the specific operation method is a multi-vector layered separation technique, including: At least two mechanical vibrations are simultaneously applied in the fascial space (303) between two adjacent muscle groups to be separated, namely the first muscle group (301) and the second muscle group (302); The first mechanical vibration is a longitudinal traction force (31) applied along the direction of the muscle fiber, with a frequency set at 1.5 Hz to 2.5 Hz, which is intended to apply prestress to the muscle fiber bundle. The second mechanical vibration is a transverse shear force (32) applied perpendicular to the direction of the muscle fiber, with a frequency set to 3 Hz to 5 Hz. The combined effect of the two mechanical vibrations with different frequencies and orthogonal directions induces a micro-vortex force field in the fascial space (303), which liquefies the fascial interstitial tissue and cuts off the pathological fiber crosslinks through the rocking effect, thereby achieving precise separation of the two muscle groups at the fascial level. During this process, the bioimpedance monitoring module (40) is used to monitor the impedance value across the fascial space (303) in real time, and uses the step drop of this value as a feedback signal (50) indicating successful fascial separation.

5. The method according to claim 4, characterized in that, The multi-vector layered separation technique is applied to treat the complex of the trapezius muscle (301) and the deep levator scapulae muscle (302) in the neck and shoulder. The operator (10) fixes one hand to the acromion of the patient as an anchor point, and uses the side edges of the index and middle fingers of the other hand to form a "V" shaped action structure, which is embedded in the fascial space (303) at the anatomical boundary between the trapezius muscle (301) and the levator scapulae muscle (302), and applies the longitudinal traction force (31) and the transverse shear force (32).

6. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that, When the aforementioned mechanical action is applied to treat deep fascial tissue, the specific operation method is a deep release technique based on standing wave resonance, including: The operator (10) first applies a constant base pressure to the target area through a specific bony prominence of his body, such as the tip of his elbow (41), so that the point of action penetrates the superficial tissue and is stably anchored on the deep fascia (44) of the target. Subsequently, the operator (10) uses his torso as a vibration source to generate a vertical vibration with a controllable frequency, which is transmitted to the elbow tip (41) through his upper limb. Frequency sweep is performed in the frequency range of 1.0 Hz to 3.0 Hz, and the ratio (X / R) of reactance (X) to electrical impedance (R) is calculated and monitored in real time by the bioimpedance monitoring module (40). When a sharp peak is detected in the X / R ratio, the corresponding frequency is determined as the inherent resonant frequency of the deep fascia (44); The operator (10) maintains the vibration at the resonant frequency for 30 to 45 seconds, causing the incoming mechanical wave to interfere with the wave reflected from the deep structure, forming a concentrated standing wave (43) in the deep fascia (44), thereby achieving a violent yet non-destructive release of the deep tissue without increasing the surface pressure.

7. The method according to claim 6, characterized in that, The deep release technique based on standing wave resonance is applied to treat the erector spinae muscle group (42) on both sides of the spine. After completing the fixed-point resonance release at a specific point, the operator (10) maintains the basic pressing pressure and resonant frequency, and pushes forward along the direction of the erector spinae muscle group (42) at a constant speed of about 1 cm per second, so as to smoothly extend the release effect of the standing wave (43) resonance to the entire muscle group.

8. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that, When the aforementioned mechanical action is applied to treat joint capsule adhesions, the specific operation method is a fixed-point eddy current force field application technique, including: The operator (10) applies a basic vertical pressure of 30 to 50 Newtons directed toward the joint capsule while performing a circular motion with a radius of 2 to 3 millimeters and a frequency of 2 to 4 Hz, using the pad of his finger as the point of application. The combination of vertical pressure and tangential circular motion generates a three-dimensional, spiral, highly concentrated shear force field, i.e. a fixed-point eddy current force field, at the interface between the target fascia and the underlying joint capsule, which is used to introduce mechanical energy into the joint capsule folds to loosen adhesions. During this process, the bioimpedance monitoring module (40) uses a ring electrode array and uses electrical impedance tomography algorithm to reconstruct a two-dimensional impedance distribution map of the tissue below the point of action in real time. The operator (10) adjusts the center position, radius, frequency and vertical pressure of the circular motion in real time according to the high impedance hot spot of the adhesion area shown in the map, so as to achieve precise strike on the adhesion area.

9. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that, When the aforementioned mechanical action is applied to perform segmental fine-tuning of the spine, the specific operation method is a retrograde traction and segmental reduction technique, including: The operator (10) uses the fingertips of both hands as the point of action, symmetrically placing them in the lamina groove between the transverse process and spinous process of the target vertebral body; The operator's hands perform an alternating, bottom-up "lift-release" pattern at a frequency of 1.0 Hz, and each lifting action includes a traction component with a force of 10 to 20 Newtons pointing towards the head. The alternating, retrograde traction pattern generates a peristaltic wave that propagates upward along the spine in the deep multifidus and rotatores muscles. This peristaltic wave gently and segmentally pulls open the intervertebral space and mechanically induces the spontaneous reduction of minor vertebral rotational misalignments. During this process, the bioimpedance monitoring module (40) is used to monitor the change in impedance value between two adjacent vertebrae. When the value reaches the maximum value within its physiological range, it serves as a feedback signal (50) indicating that the traction of that segment has reached a safe and effective limit.

10. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that, The method also includes a final step performed after all local operations are completed, namely, whole-body fascial network integration and stress field homogenization, which includes: The operator (10) resumes using the full palms of both hands and moves them over a wide range of the patient's body in an extremely gentle stroking manner, without a fixed trajectory; The bioimpedance monitoring module (40) switches to high sensitivity mode to monitor and identify areas in the subcutaneous tissue where the impedance value is slightly higher than the surrounding average level due to residual stress in real time. The operator's (10) hand movement trajectory is completely guided by the distribution of the high impedance points. When moving to any high impedance point area, the operator slowly and without pressure hovers or pauses at that point. Through nerve reflexes and the piezoelectric effect of the tissue, the operator induces the area to relax autonomously until the impedance value of the area returns to the same level as the surrounding tissue, thereby achieving the final "leveling" of the whole body stress field and making the fascial tension network reach a harmonious and unified balance.
