Chinese massage is a traditional Chinese medicine family of massage therapy. In traditional Chinese practice, massage is one of the main treatments alongside nutritional regulation, herbal medicine, acupuncture, and healing exercises.

The various techniques used in Chinese massage are enshrined in the philosophy of the traditional Chinese medicine. This means that Chinese massage is a holistic method as it touches all aspects of a patient not just their body.

 

How Does Chinese Massage Work?

The treatment lasts from 10 minutes to 1 hour and is given on a massage table or a hard mat. When everything is ready, the therapist works on your muscles, relaxes them, and makes blood flow more regular. Tui Na focuses on specific acupoints on the body (without prickly needles!) so that the healing process of your body can start.

If you can handle the pressure, it’s a good idea to book multiple sessions to balance your energy. You may feel pain when your therapist pulls or prods your limbs, but after all that, you will be rewarded with true harmony and happiness.

Is Chinese Massage Good for Me?

Chinese massage techniques are used in a variety of treatments, including reflexology and active massage. This type of massage can be used in a variety of ways, so it is important to make sure that you are receiving the appropriate treatment to achieve your personal goals. Therefore, always discuss your needs with the therapist and seek advice.

Chinese massage can cause pressure and tingling when releasing the blockages, but it should not be painfully terrible. Your treatment needs to be kept up-to-date and active. You may find that multiple bookings add to the benefits.

Types of Chinese Massage

“Chinese massage” is a collective term for a variety of different physical practices, all derived from the same tradition, as Traditional Chinese Medicine includes different forms of massage for different purposes and techniques.

Depending on the masseuse, this practice can be done in combination with or mixed with traditional Western massage techniques. By learning about different types of Chinese massage, you can decide which type of massage is best for you and communicate with your masseuse accordingly.

01 Tui Na

(also known as Tuina)

Tui Na is a type of Chinese massage therapy that is often compared to deep tissue massage. In Tui Na, masseurs use deep, rhythmic kneading pressure, stretching as well as percussive movements to promote blood circulation and boost your internal energy (qi). Also, you will remain fully clothed.

02 Zi Ya

(also known as acupressure)

In the West, Zhi Ya is known as acupressure. During acupressure, the therapist applies pressure to specific parts of the body to relieve muscle tension and stimulate the healing response. The therapist includes the kneading movements and the use of the hands as well as the elbows and legs. Sometimes the therapist puts pressure on two different points at the same time, stretching the tissue between them.

03 Reflexology

(sometimes called “Chinese foot massage”)

Reflexology is a unique exercise of the body (technically not a massage, but often referred to as one) that applies pressure to specific areas of the feet, hands, and/or ears that are believed to be channels of healing throughout the body. Working on these areas will stimulate healing.

Benefits of Chinese Massage

Chinese massage is a widely used alternative therapy around the world. The benefits of Chinese massage are many and they include:

Improves blood circulation

The main meridians of the body also translate parallel to the cardiovascular system. In other words, qi is physiologically linked to a healthy cycle. Hand techniques such as vertical pressure and rolling fist promote and improve blood circulation.

Removal of scar tissue

If the joints are strong and less mobile due to a previous injury, massage therapy can help increase mobility and relieve pain.

Emotional health support

Backed by a philosophy of balance, therapeutic sensory massage is a particularly pleasant and refreshing treatment for the debilitated and busy. At the physical level, muscle release reduces stress and promotes sleep, while energy blockades can lead to emotional stress in the body, which can contribute to anxiety and depression.

Can increase energy

If speeding up (“Yang” energy) or deceleration (“yin” energy) is what you require, the Chinese masseuse can determine the energy or relaxation technique to use to help you find inner peace. Chinese massage improves the quality of your sleep and prepares you for an exciting new day.

Speeds up recovery from soft tissue damage

If you are feeling pain or stiffness from low back pain, frozen shoulders, or sciatica, massaging the soft tissue will increase blood flow and help relieve stiffness and pain.

Final Words

The philosophical foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine is characteristic of Chinese massage style, but its benefits are similar to those of massage clients in many traditions: pain and stress reduction, improved function and flexibility, improved circulation, lower blood pressure, and an overall increase in health and happiness.

For thousands of years, Chinese therapeutic massage technology has endured the challenges of time as an essential practice for health and wellness, and modern science is increasingly recognizing its effectiveness. Therefore, it is worth trying out a Chinese massage as part of your health and wellness routine.
