Chapter 11 Physiotherapy and Yoga

After the two had a very formal Chinese meal at this CQ Impression, Mu Jianfeng proposed to take a walk home alone, but rejected Semi's request to drive him.

With a distance of more than two kilometers, he was left behind unknowingly.He looked at the still bright shops on the side of the road and walked slowly.

"Physiotherapy shop?"

Mu Jianfeng found a physiotherapy shop not far from the northwest of his apartment. He looked in through the transparent window. He was surprised to find that it seemed to be a Chinese shop. There was a middle-aged couple sitting in it. Lying on the table, writing something, while the woman looked at the street boredly.

Perhaps seeing the young faces looking at the door, the woman pushed open the door with a smile and asked in Chinese: "Chinese?"

Mu Jianfeng nodded subconsciously, and then looked up at the woman in front of him: about 1.6 meters tall, looks about 50 or [-] years old, clothes are very clean, hair is casually coiled, not beautiful but looks It makes people feel very comfortable, with a kind smile on his face at this time.

"International student?" Seeing Mu Jianfeng nodding, the woman asked again.

Mu Jianfeng was taken aback, then smiled, looked at the woman in front of him and said with a smile, "Hello! I have lived in China for seven years, and my grandparents immigrated to Italy, so I should be considered Chinese with Italian nationality, right?"

"Oh? That's okay, do you want a physical therapy? The ancestral massage technique is very good! It costs 20 euros for an hour." The woman was a little surprised when she heard this, but she enthusiastically recommended the business of her store in a blink of an eye.

"Eh..." He hesitated for a while. He had experienced the so-called physical therapy massage in China when he was injured in China, but he didn't think those so-called acupoint massage methods would help his physical fatigue. It's just a sin.

"It's okay, you can experience it for 15 minutes first, how about a cervical spine massage? It feels good, and you pay the fee." The aunt looked at the hesitant boy and continued to persuade.

"Well, okay!" After thinking for a while, Mu Jianfeng agreed, considering that his shoulders and neck were often sore recently and his sleep quality was not very good.

After all, if you want to deceive people, most of them are tourists. There is no reason to use your brain after hearing that you are a "local", right?

……

As soon as Mu Jianfeng entered, he rested in the physical therapy hall for more than an hour.

He had to admit that the men's technique in this physiotherapy center was very good, unlike the so-called Chinese medicine physiotherapy he had experienced in China, who only knew how to press a few acupoints hard and pretended to get rid of the pain.

The male boss first asked about his occupation, then carefully felt his muscles with his hands with his eyes closed, and then seriously rubbed his cervical vertebrae hard and slowly.

After a few strokes, Mu Jianfeng's tight shoulder and neck muscles relaxed, and a sense of fatigue spread to his brain. At the same time, a numbness in his shoulders continuously spread with the beating of muscles.

Afterwards, he followed the advice, lay down on a physiotherapy chair, and asked his boss to give him a leg and foot massage.The originally tense spirit slowly relaxed, and fell asleep unknowingly...

This sleep, Mu Jianfeng only felt that he had slept the most comfortably since he was injured, and when he woke up, he found that more than an hour had passed, and it was already a quarter past nine.

"Are you awake?" The man heard the movement and turned to look at the boy who was about to get up.

"Well, thank you boss! It was a very good shopping experience!" Mu Jianfeng felt relaxed when he got up, and he couldn't help but sincerely praised him.

"Young man, sit down first!" The man raised his hand to signal, "Remember you said you are an athlete now?" He said while flipping through the notebook in front of him.

"Hmm!" Mu Jianfeng looked at the man suspiciously. Out of vigilance, he didn't say that he was engaged in football, but that he was an athlete.

"You have some problems with your body. I need to tell you something. Are you willing to listen?" The man held the notebook and looked at Mu Jianfeng seriously. Then he seemed to be afraid of misunderstanding, and added: "It's free. No money."

Seeing this, Mu Jianfeng nodded slightly: "Then I will trouble you!"

"Yeah!" Seeing this, the man nodded, turned his head down and flipped through his notebook, and said, "Young man, your body is very good! It can be said that I have never seen such a good body in my business for more than 20 years. However, there are still some Hidden dangers need to be clear to you. Your body musculature is very strong, which allows you to be stronger, but also increases the pressure on your tendons. Because over-expanded muscles will overstretch the tendons, making them long The time is in a tight state, which can easily lead to strain. But fortunately, you should be engaged in exercise for a long time, so some stretching exercises for the tendons can delay this risk to a certain extent."

After the man finished speaking, he looked up at Mu Jianfeng and saw that the young man in front of him didn't show any signs of impatience, so he continued: "But from today's physical therapy, I found that your muscles and bones are still under extreme fatigue. .So, if you want to prolong your professional life, I would recommend at least two to three physical therapy sessions per week to relieve fatigue and avoid risk of injury.”

"Of course, I'm not recommending myself." The man suddenly explained awkwardly: "You can choose any physical therapy center, and I suggest you try yoga at the same time."

"Yoga?" Hearing this, Mu Jianfeng was taken aback. He had heard of yoga before, but he felt that it was more of an activity for women, something for men?It seems that men are rarely heard of practicing this.

"Well, yoga!" Seeing this, the owner of the physical therapy center seemed to understand what Mu Jianfeng was thinking, and explained: "Actually, the concept of fitness skills such as Wu Qin Xi in ancient China is similar to the concept of yoga. The former is to imitate animals to stretch muscles and strengthen bones. The latter is some movements that have been systematically explored. At present, many athletes in Europe are doing yoga exercises to exercise their muscles." After speaking, seeing Mu Jianfeng was a little pensive, he stopped talking, turned his head and bent over his desk again writing something in the notebook.

At this time, the proprietress came out with a kettle, and seeing Mu Jianfeng sitting up, she showed a kind smile at the boy, then refilled some water in her husband's teacup, and then took out another empty cup and poured it out. Some water goes in.

"Would you like some water?"

Hearing the voice, Mu Jianfeng looked up and saw the kind smile of the proprietress, and he also smiled and shook his head and refused.

"Thank you for your suggestion. I will seriously consider it! This is today's physiotherapy fee. I rested in the store for more than an hour. I will pay you according to the two-hour fee!" Mu Jianfeng stood up and said while He took out the wallet from his arms, took out the banknotes and handed them to the other party.

"No need, we charge according to the treatment time, and the rest is extra rest time, no additional charge. You can still pay according to one hour!" The proprietress only took 20 euros, and pushed the rest back.

"This..." Mu Jianfeng glanced at the boss with some embarrassment.

"She is in charge of our house, she doesn't need to look at me, and this is the store's rule, so you can take it back!" The boss said without raising his head.

"Thank you then!" Mu Jianfeng said sincerely.

Although tens of euros is nothing to him, he still thanks the couple for their kindness.

……

Turning his head and waving goodbye to the proprietress at the door, Mu Jianfeng walked towards his apartment with relaxed steps.

As he walked, he was thinking about what the owner of the physical therapy shop had just said in his head.

He thinks the boss's words are very reasonable, especially his own body is clear to him, he can feel the problem, but he is not a professional, but he can't grasp the problem.Hearing what the boss said today, he felt that he should have found out the potential risks to his body.

So after he returned to the apartment, he checked yoga and some kinesiology knowledge on the Internet, and tried to practice in a hurry.

But being a little clumsy, he just did some simple exercises and it was time to rest. He just felt that sleeping this night was really very comfortable.
