What Is Chinese Massage?

Chinese massage is based on 5,000 years of traditional Chinese medicine. Through their fingers, experienced Chinese massage therapists are able to locate areas of soreness and energy blockage deep inside the body, and then they can clear those problems away by using different forms of deep tissue massage. Chinese massage can be very effective in relieving stress, treating computer- and sports-related muscle and nerve problems, in promoting energy and general vitality, and in keep the body, mind and spirit strong and resistant to illnesses.

The key to Chinese medicine is that it looks at the health of the body and mind from a complete, "holistic" perspective. Chinese doctors look at the whole body, not just the particular symptom. In this same spirit, Chinese massage is not just an enjoyable form of relaxation. It is part of a systematic approach to keeping your body and mind strong and healthy and happy. This is our mission and purpose at Awaken, Authentic Chinese Massage. We are pleased to share with you this ancient art of Chinese wellness.
