The main Chinese massages are:
Tui Na massage: It is derived from two Chinese words meaning “lift” and “press” respectively. It is done by deep and constant movements over body repeating hundred of times. This massage is purely based on traditional chinese massage.
Tui Na massage has an ability to treat severe chronic pains, musculoskeletal problems and even many internal diseases. They can treat joint pains and even internal problems like abdominal and digestive problems related to spleen and liver stagnation.
Arthritis pains, pulled muscles, lower back pains and sprains can also be cured with Tui Na massages.
An Mo massage: Derived from “press” and “stroke”. Massage is done to derive health maintenance and to restore the lost vitality. An Mo massage is different from Tui Na massage. It is done to balance the full body using Yang techniques for calming and relaxing the body.
An Mo has a set of blueprint of movements and techniques that which the therapist follows to massage, but these movements can be adjusted to the patient’s frequency and needs.
Dian Xue massage: It is commonly known as acupressure. It shares the common features with acupuncture therapy. Both the techniques use activating the “acupoints” to find relief from pain. The main difference is that the needles are replaced by fingers.
Side effects: The side effects are soreness and stomach rumblings after the session. These discomforts are not seen after several sessions of Chinese massage.
Actually if these signs are seen in positive aspects-the body is reacting to the massage and this is a good achievement of the massage.
Some may feel dizzy due to the adjustments made by the body to the new process. However the majority of patients feel a mood and energy level lift after 20 minutes of the session.
