Chinese Massage Therapy

Chinese massage is a practical hands-on healing therapy which has been used for thousands of years to maintain health and prevent diseases, and is recognised as one of most effective health care solutions. Chinese massage therapy works on acupoints along meridians (energy channels), and can deal with a wide range of conditions from specific injuries to more general health problems. It is a deeply relaxing experience and regular Chinese massage sessions help prevent the build up of stress in our daily lives.

Chinese massage is a series of systematic techniques which effectively regulates muscular tension, loosens joints and muscles, restores skeletal alignment, and increases circulation in order to manage health complaints and improve quality of life.

Background

The Philosophy underlying Chinese massage is that vital energy (known as Qi in Chinese) flows through the body in a series of channels called meridians. For many different reasons Qi may stop flowing freely and this produces a symptom.

The Chinese massage therapist will consider your state of health, the symptoms you are experiencing and depending on your constitution and general energy levels, will use a variety of techniques to improve your energy flow. These may include gentle holding, pressing, twisting, vibrating and tapping with palms, thumbs, fingers, elbows, knees and feet on the meridians, and when appropriate more dynamic rotations and stretches.

As the quality of Qi changes, the symptoms associated with a lack of flow will gradually improve. Chinese massage is a therapy that works on the individual as a complete being, not just the physical body but also on an emotional and mental level.
