Working 9 to 5 five days a week, it is the weekly schedule most white collars follow. Sitting in front of the computer and focusing on the screen for several hours, between health and unhealthiness, there appears a “popular” new word called “sub health”亚(yà)健(jiàn)康(kāng) in recent years. If we do an inquiry to rank the most common symptoms, cervical spondylosis could be the top concern.
I accompanied a foreign friend to a traditional Chinese hospital in Hangzhou to do treatment on her cervical ache. Before selecting the Chinese style therapy she delivered her X-ray photo to her hometown and let the local western doctors check. Threatened by the advice of having an operation, she determined to try the Chinese way. Rather than making a surgery, she received traditional Chinese medical treatment by massage and acupuncture; otherwise, the doctor emphasized that the most efficient way for recovery depend on her persistence of practicing her “Jin”.
So here comes my keyword today, 拉(lā)筋(jīn). In order to show you a vivid instruction, first look at the following photos and cartoons.
Guess what the two ladies are doing? Actually they are posturing the two basic ways of La Jin: The standing posture and the lying posture.
What will you associate this kind of posture with, martial art, ballet or opera? Hah, obviously the practice is not as tough as a professional level which is indeed unreachable by common people.
Lying posture of La Jin, officially invented by a famous Hong Kong doctor named Zhu Zeng Xiang（朱增祥）who has a fifty-year working experience in traditional Chinese medicine domain. After inventing a set of health care practice, he owns his copyright of Zhu style La Jin（朱氏拉筋）.
“Acupuncture points” is one of the top keywords in our website traffic from Google, which proved that many readers feel interested in knowing those “mysterious treatment” from Chinese traditional medical theory. I just thought that you may feel too academic and professional in our “Chinese Herbal Medication” page; you can imagine Jin as a “container” which hold the human “Qi”, a flow of energy passing throughout the body. For a curious “green hand”, I suggest you follow the simple practice method instead of memorizing those complicated acupuncture points as priority.
The main concept of La Jin is to stretch yourself by following the above “major Jin of human body”. The informal way relies on patting the route of Jin by hands, if you coincidentally encountered the morning exercises of the elders in China, you may see the interesting scene (I will shoot some videos to note in the future.) Wanna know the formal way? To tell the truth, I felt surprised to see it at the first time. As soon as the La Jin Practice is born, the new invention called “La Jin bench”(拉筋凳) appeared at the same time. Instead of a western style running machine, La Jin bench, which offered a professional assistance to stretch the Jin, received huge popularity among Chinese people, especially the elders.
Seems crazy? I think the main reason for the mass pursuit of La Jin based on its advantage of curing many chronic diseases not only cervical spondylosis. What’s more, the key point is curing yourself rather than depending on the doctors.
Good article and quite coherant. Yes these stretching and concentration moves can also heighten circulation and improve muscle tone. If you are able but do not do regular exercise in work then these can help a lot over time. keeping bone joints in motion can keep them clar of excess fat an tinyy particles not easilly removed by regular activity.
thank you, from richard, and more peace in your lives this holiday season.
God help me, I put aside a whole aterfonon to figure this out.
Well macaadmia nuts, how about that.
Chinese being sokpen by 1.3 billion people what a falacy! Chinese (Understood as Mandarin) is sokpen mainly as a 2nd language by half the chinese population.. certainly not 1 billion people
Think of a mboile which has the awesome picture quality, service of Dual Sim, loud music player and you get stylish iSuper mboile phones.
Getting to the root of a dfiuicflt situation begins with looking for the answer. While may seem hard to comprehend but a lot hard times exist from the premise, not the conclusion.
Whoever edits and pbulsihes these articles really knows what they’re doing.
Fitz! Hahaha! Oo nga.I viisted the thristy blogger last time and I saw your Holy Week Visita Iglesia. I liked the way you positioned it for “thirsty souls”. Hahaha.Galing!
636 ctonemms now that is really amazing anyone can get an idea by such an wonderful response that how nice blog is this thanks a lot for such an amazing post Keep up the good work.
I think the U.S will be able to imorpt cars to China for sale, however I don’t foresee Chinese cars being a hit in America. I can’t think of any Chinese brands now that are being sold in the U.S.

Hi Venus,
In China, we can buy it through the online shopping site http://www.taobao.com
easily by searching the Chinese keyword “拉筋凳″ . I suggest you to ask a Chinese friend to help or ask the traditional Chinese clinic in your region for some purchase information.

Well done aitrcle that. I’ll make sure to use it wisely.
You shulod pay more attention to the Chinese web space and you will find evidence to the contrary of your comment. Many Chinese want to rise, colonize and dominate.
Hi Melody,
This is a very good article describing this La Jin Bench. I personally find it very helpful.
I am very interested to buy this 拉筋凳 from China but the overseas shipping cost is quite high.
Please let me know if you know someone interested to buy it together to save the shipping cost.
I just post a craiglist link for this:

and refer to this article as well.
Regards.
ovizan with all of the posts that you made on here, the CCP did not pay you eogunh for a debate class?Oh, I forgot, can’t teach an old dog new trick. LOL.
Is asnesde still worthwhile of establishing blogs for? Someone explained that it really is now so difficult to gain decent income that I preferably should forget all about ad sense. Just what do you believe?
I like la-jin exercise. It cured me of prostrate enlargement sickness. First I made my own La-Jin Bench to exercise but later all friends asked me to make for them.
Now I end up making and selling La-Jin Benches throughout Malaysia ans Singapore!
