Relieve back pain

Dien Chan is an excellent method for relieving persistent pain in the neck, cervical area, and back. Here are some tips to get started and to adapt the technique to your needs.
Even if you are looking to learn simple techniques for self-care relief, a complete care plan remains the best option for achieving lasting results. For inspiration, here are the 4 essential steps of a Dien Chan care plan.

First of all, it would be wise to explore possible causes of your pain. Several factors may be at play: the quality of your sleep, the type of mattress, the office chair, your posture during the day, and even the wear on the soles of your shoes are all elements to consider.

While we will not address emotional causes here, it may be helpful to ask yourself a few questions: “What is weighing on my shoulders?” or “Have I had enough?”

These seemingly simple reflections can help you release certain emotional blockages that sometimes manifest physically.

A| The first step of the care plan involves working directly on the painful area.

• The smooth saucer creates a yin effect, deep and soothing.
• The head with rubber spikes stimulates yang energy, ideal for more vigorous activation.

To treat back pain, start by testing each side of the Grand-hammer, applying around thirty percussions with each tip. Then choose the one that gives you the most comfort and repeat about fifty percussions on the sore areas. 

Don’t forget to also treat the neck by applying slow, gentle percussions. The advantage of self-care is that you can adjust the force and rhythm according to your sensations. There’s no need to hit hard; the aim is to feel the subtle benefits of the tool. 

By stimulating the painful areas in this way, you activate microcirculation and signal to your brain that you are going to pay attention to the back and cervical area, preparing the body for relief.

B| Identification of reflex zones

In Dien Chan, we target specific areas of the face to relieve the cervical and back areas. These zones are determined by different reflex diagrams, each providing precise points for self-care.

In the DienChan❜reflex module, we teach you how to apply each reflex diagram on any face, adapting the care to your specific needs.

Training in facial reflexology would allow you to deepen your understanding of these reflex diagrams and learn self-care techniques to relieve tension autonomously. In this way, you’ll be able to use Dien Chan daily to ease neck and back pain. 

Although it’s impossible to cover the details of a complete course here, let’s focus on one initial reflex diagram to get started.

Let’s choose the reflex diagram “Mr Yang” (or the red figure)

Using the “extremities on the face” chart, which combines two reflex diagrams, you’ll see a red figure, handy for locating the reflex zones to stimulate. In this diagram, the spine is worked along the nose, while the cervical area is located between the eyebrows.

In the first step, you were able to determine whether a yin or yang stimulation is more suited to your needs. If the saucer side of the Grand-hammer felt soothing, this suggests a yin approach on the reflex zones. Conversely, if you preferred the rubber spike head, an effect yang tool would be more appropriate.

Next, apply the same effect on the glabella (between the eyebrows), maintaining gentle and elegant motions to avoid irritating the skin.

Adopting a light and precise motion is essential. By cultivating an elegant technique, you ensure maximum benefits while respecting the skin and stimulated areas.

Now, test your back and neck to check if you experience any relief. 

If the improvement is significant, this will be the multireflex tool to keep with you to act whenever a sensation of heaviness or pain reappears.

Next, to inspire those familiar with the 257 bqc·point chart, it’s important to consolidate the previous steps by creating a Dien Chan formula.

C| Stimulation of bqc·points

This involves creating a perfectly tailored formula by testing bqc·points from a constellation. If you have the Faceasit application, you can obtain a constellation by selecting the back and neck.

Here’s an example in video [activate automatic subtitles if you don’t catch french]:

Once your personalised formula is established, use the Multireflex Detector nº101 to stimulate the bqc·points associated with back and neck pain. This reinforces the work done during the body and facial steps, aimed at activating the body’s natural self-regulation mechanisms.

To properly detect the bqc·points, it’s essential to apply firm, perpendicular pressure on the facial surface. The art of locating and stimulating these points in Dien Chan requires precision and a bit of practice. This is why learning this technique under the guidance of an experienced trainer is highly recommended.

Since 2002, we have taught Dien Chan with a rigorous educational programme, where each expert on our team is an experienced therapist. Our training ensures you learn the original method, avoiding the simplified or incomplete versions derived from readings or introductory workshops.

D| Maintenance

Dien Chan offers a variety of self-stimulation techniques that, through simple gestures repeated daily, relieve accumulated tension. By practising regularly, you’ll also learn to adjust pressure and use your multireflex tools to achieve optimal effect.

In this case, we recommend acquiring the Grand Hammer nº430 and the Ridoki nº206. For those who want to practice with bqc·points, we advise beginners to start with the Small Hammer nº128 instead of the Detector nº101, allowing for gradual progress.

To support your first steps, we offer a kit that includes these essential multireflex tools at a very advantageous price, along with a set of care cards to guide you.

We wish you a quick and lasting recovery,
With Dienchan regards,
