Dien Chan action plan for sport

Dien Chan is much better known for its treatments of common disorders or rapid pain relief than for its potential in sports preparation.

Indeed, we achieve excellent results because we address people in top form. Dien Chan challenges and stimulates our self-regulation process and energises vital energy; what traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) calls Qi.
It is this revitalised tone that we direct towards stagnant areas so that the body can do its natural healing work.

This is why it is easier to take care of a sporty and healthy person. Their Qi being more lively, we undo their blockages more quickly.

For the care of people not yet at their peak, we must start by optimising the movements of vital fluids, their organic functions and their Qi before we can concretely address the disorder.
However, we will not claim to repair a broken bone or put a hip back in place. Each technique has its limits and we always invite patients to visit an osteopath, consult a doctor or go to the hospital depending on their pathology.

Consequently, Dien Chan has the power to help athletes by providing substantial support to the work of preparing the body and mind.
We take advantage of its incredible possibilities to stimulate blood and lymphatic circulation, strengthen muscles, increase potential and performance.

Similarly, this non-invasive technique offers multiple possibilities for the local treatment of many pains that appear during physical exercise.

Dien Chan is an excellent ally for pre-competition and post-competition massage sessions.

Easy-to-apply protocols can, among other actions:
— Strengthen or relax muscles
— Set mental goals
— Drain toxemia accumulated in muscles and produced by muscle wear.

It goes without saying that a healthy diet and good hygiene (hydration, sleep, etc.) are essential.

In this article we present the field of action of Dien Chan in three main phases.

Here is a small video so you can get an idea of the gestures used to treat with Dien Chan tools.

◾︎◾︎◾︎ The 3 main phases of DienChan❜sport ◾︎◾︎◾︎

Much more complex (but not complicated) than a simple reflexology method, Dien Chan offers several approaches that combine with each other to offer the best results while adapting to the person.

We thus have the possibility of expressing all our therapist talent by personalising our care during each step.

1| Pre-competition: before the effort

Dien Chan has the power to help athletes by providing substantial support to the work of preparing the body and mind.
We take advantage of its incredible abilities to energise blood and lymphatic flows, strengthen musculature and increase power.

2| Competition: during the effort

Similarly, this non-invasive technique offers multiple possibilities for the local treatment of many pains that appear during physical exercise.

3| Post-competition: after the effort

After the effort, Dien Chan is a major ally for massage and stretching sessions. Easy-to-apply protocols relax muscles, have beneficial effects on the body and mind.

What is Dien Chan?

Dien Chan is the original method of facial reflexology. Its chart of acupressure points and various reflex diagrams make it a very effective natural healing technique.

The proximity of the face to the brain allows us to perform delicate and precise work with rapid effects.
We speak of multireflexology, because we combine the reflex zones with each other and complement them with precise stimulations of bqc·points formulas.

Several of our therapist students and instructors follow top athletes. They have developed multiple solutions over the past ten years.

Montse García-Pallarols, trainer in sports massages and other care techniques, uses Dien Chan with many athletes during national and international competitions in various disciplines. She also collaborates as a sports masseuse with the Spanish women’s hockey team, the “Red Ladies”. She helped us compile several tips in this article to understand the benefits offered by Dien Chan.

◾︎ How do we work?

Dien Chan is not practised with the fingers, and even if we sometimes speak of “massage”, we are referring to tonification or relaxation work using delicate instruments.
Despite their appearance, which may surprise, multireflex tools do not damage the skin.

They are divided into two main categories:
— The multireflex yin tools that allow cooling, dispersing, draining and encouraging hydration.
— The yang instruments that help to heat, concentrate, energise and dry.

Oh! We know that the concepts of yin and yang are not very well known to the general public.
In Dien Chan, we use them in an extremely practical way.

This means that we focus on the effects provided by the multireflex tools used.
It is very easy to understand and the file tools.DienChan.pro illustrates in detail the multiple yin-yang solutions of Dien Chan.

Therapists speak of real “health jewels” and are proud to display them on social networks under the hashtag #multireflex!

We offer small Dien Chan tools for working on the face and other larger models specialised for body care.

› Before the effort:

There are many body massages to help the athlete before exercise. However, these are mostly manual or electrical.

The athlete preparing for a competition or sustained effort must not exhaust themselves. They will stay in motion and work on their tactics and mental preparation.

The goal is to bring as much energy as possible to the muscles and structure, we can enrich the preparation by stimulating large areas in a yang way.
The more the muscles are warmed up, the less risk of injury.

This means that we will fully utilise the energising effects of stimulations using a yang multireflex tool suitable for the large muscles of the legs, arms and back.
Then, to strengthen and stabilise their mental state, we use certain bqc·points that address the central nervous system. These series of points are called “bqc·point formulas”.

Body work

Using the Double yang ball nº410, perform about fifty back-and-forth movements —without pressing too hard— on the muscle groups that will work the most.

This body step is essential to revitalise the microcirculation of the blood.

Its natural horn spike balls promote blood oxygenation and tone the muscles. This avoids stagnation and:
— Causes hyperaemia of the area by increasing blood flow.
— Stimulates nerve endings.
— Promotes the excitability of muscle fibres.
— Ensures the overall dynamism of the worked limb.

Facial work

On the face, we recommend a bqc·point formula that stimulates adrenaline and cortisol. It also improves joint lubrication.

Apply the bqc·points formula in this order and only those on the right with the Detector nº101 or the Little-hammer nº128:
14· 156· 17· 38· 45· 1· 300·
124· 34· 103· 106·

Stimulate each bqc·point for about thirty seconds by applying sustained pressure. We must feel the point and not the pressure.

Explanation of the formula:

14· increases internal moisture and cools the joints (endocrine system, thyroids).
156· to make the muscles more flexible (anti-inflammatory and bladder meridian).
17· to stimulate the adrenal glands (adrenaline).
38· to promote joint lubrication (large intestine and immune system).
1· to enrich the blood (spinal cord).
45· 300+ to strengthen the kidneys (cortisol and increase Qi).

124· 34· combinations of bqc·points that balance the nervous system.
103· 106· to strengthen the mind (the connection between the two cerebral hemispheres).

› During the effort:

During the competition, the medical staff is on standby!
Health personnel, physiotherapists and sports masseurs follow the event and observe the athletes’ game. They remain vigilant in case of injury.

We must help the athlete and prevent them from suffering. We must therefore quickly relieve all the small blockages that cause pain.

By knowing the reflex diagrams of Dien Chan, we act immediately on the facial reflex zone.

When the pain is described as dense, concentrated, hot or precise, we consider it a yang symptom.

We therefore intervene with a yin multireflex tool that facilitates relaxation, cooling and dispersion.

By always having the Yin-yang roller nº206 on hand, we can quickly access the reflex zone on the face.

If we have time, we can also work on large surfaces with the Double yin ball nº411 (or the Double mini yin nº308) to perform about fifty back-and-forth movements without pressure.

If we are faced with cramps, we complement with 3 rapid and sustained pressures on the following bqc·points:
37· 156·

These two bqc·points are powerful relaxants.
Repeat the operation each time it is necessary.

› After the effort:

We must now relax all the muscle structures, disperse congestion and eliminate the toxins that have accumulated in the fibres.

Since we have more time, we recommend rolling with the Double yin ball nº411 all limbs and extremities.

Then, we benefit from a very effective formula to cleanse the blood and promote the elimination of toxins:
50· 41· 37· 39· 85· 87·

Then, we practice the Reflexdrainage which consists of performing a facial massage that rebalances the functions of the lymphatic system.

Explanation of the formula:
50· 41· to strengthen the detox capacities of the hepatic system.
37· to calm muscle tensions.
85· 87· to encourage urination and elimination.

——› To learn how to do Reflexdrainage, consult the complete file of www.DienChan.zone and its video.

Here is a multireflex tool kit to get started easily

All genuine multireflex tools are handcrafted in an environmentally friendly way. We choose noble materials such as mimosa wood and natural horn recovered from the traditional agricultural sector so that no animal suffers or is raised for its antlers.
The yin effect tips are made of high-quality metal such as the gold-plated cylinders of the dorés.
We prefer genuine horn for its natural antiseptic biological properties. Unlike plastic, it does not cause static electricity that disrupts the skin microbiota.

❉ Each utensil has a name that may vary, but it also has a reference number that, followed by “multireflex.com”, takes you directly to its detailed sheet. Example: http://410.multireflex.com for that of the Double yang ball nº410.

Chan❜pro secret

After the effort —if we have sufficient knowledge in Dien Chan—, the ideal is to complement the care with a more specialised and fully personalised formula.
This consists of testing the points offered by the Dien Chan app named Faceasit and retaining only those that are the most sensitive.

The detailed sheets of the retained bqc·points will then help you to identify your athlete’s weaknesses.

This is how we make the most of the “Chan” concept in Dien Chan, which means “diagnosis and treatment” at the same time.

Everything is relative and imbalances are expressed in the least reinforced parts of the body. This perfectly illustrates the famous “Tuy” which means “it depends” in Vietnamese.

▶️ Here is a small video to better understand how Faceasit becomes the ultimate in facial reflexology – Dien Chan.
✔︎ The article that explains in detail the formulas of this video is also in this blog (here).

To listen to your intuition, you must know the structure of the care protocols, understand them and be able to break them down. This is when you can personalise your care and obtain the best results.

Learn Dien Chan with the experts of the International School of Multireflexology – Dien Chan (ISMDC) and seduce your clientele with an elegant therapeutic gesture that expresses your talent.
