Chapter 267: No Rules (Please Subscribe)

Fang Ziye's reply did not satisfy the old man, but as the old man's expression and eyes changed, Fang Ziye did not think of changing his words to cooperate.

"Dr. Fang, you're not joking, are you?" The old man assumed that Fang Ziye was either a disciple of Dr. Chen or had some other lineage.

But now, Fang Ziye claims that he has no teacher.

Whether it's forgetting one's roots, being unwilling to mention one's teacher, or simply not having a teacher at all, this outcome seemed utterly baffling to the old man.

"Teacher, what are you joking about? Master wouldn't dare deny it, but Master wouldn't dare to admit it carelessly either." At this moment, Fang Ziye was calm, but he was also very calmly pondering a sentence.

This is a sentence that Professor Deng Yong had carefully explained to him before he went to Enshi.

In Enshi, talk less and do more!
Do not have any entanglements or make any special comments regarding Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Dr. Chen then spoke up, "Professor Zhong, Dr. Fang is my honored guest. We invited him here to give Huang Kai a massage, not to interrogate him about any answers!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually becoming awkward, Dr. Chen quickly changed the subject and then said, "Dr. Fang, it's like this, after Huang Kai transferred here, he still said that when you give him a massage, he feels more relaxed."

"But to be honest, Professor Zhong and I have both been experts in manual massage, so we consider ourselves to have some skill."

"Actually, at our age, we no longer have the competitive spirit. But even if we don't compete, we are still curious about the massage techniques that Huang Kai mentioned, which feel better than the massages we get. What exactly are they and what are their principles?"

"Dr. Fang doesn't have a background in traditional Chinese medicine, so he probably can't answer our questions about meridians, right?" Old Dr. Chen explained it very clearly to Fang Ziye.

This also brought the topic to another level.

Originally, the people invited Fang Ziye for several reasons, one being curiosity, and the other being to exchange ideas.

Since we are all practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and TCM is declining these days, if there are any secret formulas, methods, or special massage techniques, we should share them more.

In this day and age, too many people do not believe in traditional Chinese medicine. Moreover, due to the traditional belief that "teaching students will lead to the starvation of the master," many unique skills have been lost. Furthermore, many so-called "unique skills" are now difficult to distinguish between genuine and fake.

Therefore, when people encounter someone with expertise, they still hope to exchange ideas and are willing to continue to inherit and promote traditional Chinese medicine.

However, if Fang Ziye is not a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, then if he were to explain the so-called principles of massage, it would certainly be a theory that they would not understand at present.

In that case, it would be better to let Fang Ziye do it first, and then explain.

Clinical medicine practitioners often lack understanding of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theories, and many genuine TCM practitioners don't actually need to understand even a little bit of clinical medicine theory.

"Dr. Chen, you flatter me. I'm definitely not qualified to have any kind of exchange with you."

"Dr. Chen, you probably know that Dr. Huang Kai was massaged by Cao Zhen and me taking turns from the very beginning, so he got used to our massage techniques!"

"It's a habit, not a useful one. What's more important is Dr. Chen's acupuncture and prescriptions."

"When I give a massage, I mainly focus on the nerve pathways, hoping to promote local blood circulation through the massage of soft tissues," Fang Ziye replied modestly.

To be honest, if it weren't for Dr. Chen standing opposite him, Fang Ziye might have actually said things like, "If you don't know traditional Chinese medicine, you're not qualified to treat patients; if you don't know traditional Chinese medicine, you're not qualified to do rehabilitation training."

But since the person opposite him was Dr. Chen, Fang Ziye really didn't dare to speak like that.

Fang Ziye was unaware of the prevailing social atmosphere in previous years.

However, in recent years, the environment Fang Ziye has encountered online is one where modern medicine is highly rejected!
If the patient rejects it, that's fine, but some practitioners of traditional medicine even deliberately step forward to fan the flames... "It's alright, Dr. Fang, you just do the massage, we'll just watch from the sidelines and enjoy it."

"Dr. Fang, you're not a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, so there's no need to be supervising any taboos when it comes to massage," Dr. Chen quickly came to Fang Ziye's rescue.

Traditional Chinese medicine has many acupoints, but Fang Ziye never compared any acupoints when he was doing massage.

Just like in surgery, there's no rule about where you can't make incisions because there are acupoints.

……

Fang Ziye's massage techniques don't actually seem to have anything special about them.

But in reality, only Fang Ziye himself knew that his massage techniques, especially his control over the force, had reached a level of consummate skill.

It can be said that Fang Ziye's current control over power is around 0.2N.

Moreover, Fang Ziye's current basic medical examination skills are at level 4 proficiency. Therefore, when Fang Ziye massages, he can often feel his fingertips stroking and stimulating along the major nerves as he massages.

Whether such stimulation is effective is something Fang Ziye himself cannot determine, and he currently cannot find a very suitable theoretical support.

However, to Dr. Chen and others, these things were completely chaotic and without any order.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes acupoints and meridians.

If the human body is a country, then the meridians are the main roads between the cities, and the acupoints are the many cities of that country.

There are definitely some things to consider when clearing roads.

But Fang Ziye seemed to have no concept of acupoints or meridians; he just touched and felt around.

This left Dr. Chen and Professor Zhong completely baffled.

However, after experiencing Fang Ziye's massage, Huang Kai said comfortably, "Yes, yes, that's it, that's the right amount of pressure."

"It doesn't feel numb, but it still has a tingling sensation."

"Pour it down from above..."

Listening to Huang Kai's words, the group carefully observed his expression and indeed found that Huang Kai's expression did not seem to be faking it.

That's really true.

The nerves run through it, and touching them will produce a numbing reaction similar to a nerve click.

This is what many people think they are reacting to.

However, the external force required to produce a feeling of numbness is actually quite special.

Otherwise, with so many nerves throughout the body, wouldn't squeezing and pinching them randomly cause numbness?

However, if you can control the pressure well, you will feel very relaxed during the massage!
And this kind of relaxation still applies even when you massage along the nerve pathways.
