Traditional Chinese Massage is practiced for over 2,000 years already. Tui Na is one of the most frequent forms of Chinese massage now. It involves slow deep massage strokes applied all over the body, particularly the back, with various sets. Additionally, it involves several breathing exercises in addition to the standard rubbing of the skin.
When I was a kid, my Grandma used to do Tui Na to my spine when I got hurt. I didn't understand why then and I don't understand it now. But what I do know is that, as a child, she could tell if I needed a little bit of help. She would put her hands right behind my neck and softly squeeze hard on my shoulder and left shoulder while talking in Chinese, so that I knew what she meant. She should have known something I didn't even know then.
Other traditional Chinese massages that I have observed include Shiatsu, Western medicine, acupuncture and Thai massage. I can say that all these techniques are used together to help treat a customer's ailment. But there is a big difference between Traditional Chinese massage and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
당진출장마사지 In order for us to differentiate the difference we need to learn how Chinese masseuses and doctors distinguish between these three chief forms.
First we will need to be aware of the differences between Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Traditional Chinese Massage (TCM). Both are based on the belief that there's a distinction between the Qi or energy and the bloodstream. The basis of both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Traditional Chinese Massage is the notion that there are separate forces or sources of energy that flow throughout the body. These are known as yin and yang. When the balance of these energies is disrupted, illness occurs.
Now let us look at the differences in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Traditional Chinese Massage. In Traditional Chinese Medicine the method is to deal with the client's physical body and to remove any blockages of Qi which are thought to be responsible for any disease. Chinese massages focus on releasing the stress and tension in the muscles. They also focus on using the gentle, soft and insistent kneading techniques to release the knots or"juries" in the muscles. The goal is to restore the person to his or her proper health.
In some areas of China where Traditional Chinese Massage is more popular the therapist may use herbs, oils and ointments on the customer's skin in combination with the kneading of the masseuse's hands. Massages are generally performed by male masseuses and in brothels where women are also treated. This may mean some people do not like this style of massaging but there are several clients that are willing to try it. Additionally, this type of massaging is somewhat taboo in certain regions of China and so some people may not get an opportunity to experience it. However, if you are interested in the traditional Chinese massage experience then look to places like Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan or even Macau.
In traditional Chinese medicine the technique of relaxing and manipulating specific meridian points along the body is called cupping. This method can be seen in several forms including acupuncture and acupressure. There are many books written about cupping and the numerous benefits to the entire body of having it done. To help circulate the blood circulation to the area, a therapist may use a stick known as"cupping stick" or"hot stone".
I've seen a trend growing in the west for people to provide Chinese herbal remedies and other alternative treatments at their wellness clinics. If you are interested in using a Chinese herbal remedy or other sort of standard massages performed then be sure to do your homework before you go. Many massages are not going to be safe for people with sensitive skin. Look for folks who have experience in the area before you schedule an appointment. You should also make sure that the person performing the massage is accredited. You shouldn't schedule a traditional Chinese massage without having this information before you ever arrive.
