Practice Information
Traditional Chinese Massage or Chinese Medical Massage is an ancient system of bodywork, based on Chinese Medicine, designed to locate the root origin of discomfort and pain in the body. Then using an array of specialized techniques applied, moves in to release the body from bindings, which may be caused by any number of things such as energy blockages, sports related injury, Sciatica, stress including emotional distress, trapped or tangled muscle and connective tissue, work related injury, trauma, etc. Focus is on re-balancing the body, thereby creating long lasting and permanent effects, simultaneously increasing energy and circulation. Underneath the umbrella of Traditional Chinese Massage is found Qigong massage, acupressure, shiatsu, sports massage, Tui-na, and a host of other unique applications not easily found in the U.S. Many times the results are astonishing for people who have long suffered chronic pain conditions without having successfully found a solution.
