【小兒增高按摩法】
有聽過生長板嗎？不少家長都聽過到了青春期，生長板閉合後便不能再增高，所以坊間流傳按摩腳底生長板的增高方法。其實生長板位於全身骨頭上下兩端，因受到腦下垂體分泌的生長激素刺激，會不斷增生軟骨組織，生長板閉合時即骨頭發展成熟停止長高。
中醫理論並沒有按摩生長板的說法，不過適當的推拿有助氣血運行、暢通經絡、調和臟腑，改善體質有助促進長高，亦能促進親子關係，不妨在睡前作為親子活動進行。人體五臟六腑在腳底都有相應的反射區，家長可以用推、揉、按等不同手法進行推拿，亦可針對腳底的湧泉穴按揉，有強精益髓的作用。但要記著推拿手法只是輔助作用，長高最重要還是要飲食均衡、睡眠充足以及有足夠運動。
湧泉穴
位置：在足底，屈足捲趾時足心凹陷處
功效：滋陰養腎、強精益髓
按法：以大拇指用力打圈按揉約20秒

Massage tips to grow taller
Have you heard of epiphyseal plates? Many parents heard that children would not be able to grow taller when the epiphyseal plates close after puberty. Rumors had it that massaging the epiphyseal plates at the foot sole can increase a person’s height. The epiphyseal plates are located at both ends of the bones in the body. Triggered by the growth hormone secreted by the pituitary gland, cartilage in the bones will grow. The growth will stop when the development of the bones matures and when the epiphyseal plates close.
There is no such thing as massaging the epiphyseal plates in Chinese Medicine, but appropriate tuina can promote the circulation of the qi, blood, and meridians, regulate the internal organs, and improve the body’s constitution to help stimulate growth. Since engaging in tuina can also strengthen the parent-child relationship, it will be a good activity before bed.
All our solid and hollow organs have their corresponding zones in the foot sole’s reflexes map. Parents can push, massage, and press these areas through tuina or massage the ‘Yong Quan’ acupoint to strengthen the essence and the marrow. Do note that tuina can help with height increase, but having a balanced diet, adequate sleep, and regular exercise are more crucial.
Yong Quan Point
Location: the sole of the foot, the dent area when the foot and toes curl
Benefits: replenishes the yin, nourishes the kidney, and strengthens the body
Method: massage with your thumb in a circulation motion for about 20 seconds.
