Chinese massage is a type of bodywork that is rooted in ancient Chinese philosophy and based on the 2,000 year old system of Chinese medicine. Simply put, this modality differs from other types of massage in that the Chinese system considers all aspects of a person (mental, emotional and spiritual, as well as the physical) in the healing process. A main component of this therapy is determining where the Qi (pronounced "chee"), or life force energy, is out of balance and using the appropriate technique to re-balance the Qi in that part of the body. Many different techniques may be used during a Chinese massage session, including: tuina, gua sha, cupping and acupressure. These techniques work with the meridian pathways and acupoints in the body (very similar to how acupuncture works) in order to align, balance and encourage the innate healing process of the whole person. |
