Introduction
Under normal circumstances, waist massage can help relieve waist fatigue and pain, prevent waist-related diseases, promote blood circulation, enhance immunity, and improve sleep. It is also important to maintain proper sitting and standing postures in daily life, avoid staying in the same position for prolonged periods, get up and move around regularly, and perform simple waist-stretching exercises to help alleviate pressure on the waist.

Generally speaking, waist massage can help relieve fatigue and pain in the waist, prevent waist-related diseases, promote blood circulation, enhance immunity, and improve sleep. A detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Relieve waist fatigue and pain

Prolonged improper sitting posture or engaging in physical labor can lead to tightness and fatigue in the waist muscles. Massage can stimulate the muscles and joint nerves, helping muscles relax and reducing stiffness, thereby alleviating waist fatigue and pain.

2. Prevent waist-related diseases

Massage can unblock the meridians in the waist area, strengthen the muscles of the waist, and improve the physiological curvature of the lumbar spine, thus preventing waist diseases such as lumbar disc herniation and lumbago.

3. Promote blood circulation

Massage can stimulate acupoints and muscles in the waist area, thus promoting local blood circulation, improving blood supply, and providing more nutrients and oxygen to the waist tissues.

4. Enhance immunity

Waist massage can stimulate acupoints in the waist region, activate and invigorate the body's yang energy, thereby regulating the body's yin-yang balance and improving immunity and resistance.

5. Improve sleep

Massage can stimulate nerve endings and promote the release of neurotransmitters, helping to relieve stress and anxiety and improve sleep quality.

It is also important in daily life to maintain correct sitting and standing postures, avoid staying in the same position for long periods, regularly get up and move around, and perform simple waist stretching exercises to help relieve pressure on the waist.
