Chinese Medical Massage, Acupressure and other Techniques
Touch the Body, Move the Qi
Massage was a precursor of acupuncture as the ancients learned to make the qi respond to touch and to the qi of the practitioner. Through millennia of massage and observation, the pathways were discovered, and so were many of the acupoints.
Asian massage promotes the movement of Qi, Blood, and fluids. Tui na, shiatsu and other massage techniques are used for healing and to prevent illness as well as for pleasure.
Like yin and yang, Asian massage should be hard and soft, fast and slow, pleasurable yet slightly painful. Acupoints and channels are stimulated to promote flow. Limbs are stretched and pulled. Sometimes the torso is gently twisted. You won't fall asleep getting shiatsu or tui na. You will feel thoroughly massaged.

A consultation consists of several e-mail exchanges resulting in an herbal prescription, treatment plan and possibly other suggestion. Consultations do not include the cost of herbs. In your first e-mail, briefly describe yourself. Mention your gender, age, occupations, symptoms (including how long you've had them for) and any Western diagnosis. List the medicines you use and occasions when you have been hospitalized for any reason. Attachments such as photos or videos are OK, but not necessary.
