What's the difference between Chinese massage and thai massage?

Although Chinese massage and Thai spa are both a kind of medical culture and massage, Chinese massage is very different from thai massage. For example, Chinese medicine massage is mainly through acupoint massage, and each of the hundreds of acupoints in the human body will affect the functions of various parts of the body. In thai massage, it is mainly through moving joints, supplemented by acupoint massage. Speaking of which, I'm sure I still can't tell the difference between the two. Let's elaborate:

Thai hydrotherapy

1, function

Thai massage's operating parts are all in the trunk, limbs and joints of the human body, which is very different from Chinese massage. He used his left hand and right hand instead of action, with gentle and even force, moderate operation speed and a sense of rhythm, and proceeded according to different parts in turn. The operator's massage parts are both rigid and flexible, so as to relieve fatigue and prevent diseases as soon as possible.

2. Function

① Regulating the function of viscera, regulating the balance of yin and yang, relaxing tendons and activating collaterals, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain.

② Health care function: eliminating fatigue, restoring physical fitness, improving human microcirculation and enhancing immunity.

③ Beauty function: It can speed up metabolism in the body, convert body fat into heat and excrete it, reduce body fat accumulation, improve muscle elasticity, make skin soft and shiny, remove facial pigmentation, eliminate facial acne, and make skin white, bright, elastic and shiny, and stay young forever.

④ Enhance physical fitness, prevent and treat diseases.

⑤ Smooth joints and release adhesion.

⑥ Eliminate fatigue and enjoy body and mind.

China therapeutic massage

Traditional Chinese medicine health massage is that the operator applies his hands to a certain part of the human body, that is, various methods of warming, dredging, tonifying, purging, harmonizing, dispersing and clearing are implemented to stimulate infiltration, thereby adjusting the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, five internal organs, gallbladder, stomach, large intestine, small intestine, bladder, triple energizer and five internal organs, thus achieving the effects of disease prevention and treatment, health care and rehabilitation. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the human body has many acupoints, which are also distributed on the meridians. One end of the meridian is connected with viscera, and the other end is connected with limbs. Therefore, when the operator operates the meridians and acupoints of the human body, the osmotic force can spread from the viscera to the limbs, thus effectively regulating the physiological functions of the viscera and limbs of the human body, and achieving the purposes of disease prevention, treatment, health care and rehabilitation.

Foot massage

1, function

Foot massage is one of the typical massage methods in ancient China, which uses the principles of meridians, biological breath, blood circulation and reflection. By pointing, pressing, rubbing, pushing, twisting and rubbing the finger on the reflex area of the foot, the effect of "treating diseases and strengthening the body" can be achieved. This method is simple to operate, practical and convenient, safe and reliable, and has magical curative effect, which can not only cure diseases, but also protect health.

2. Function

① It can dredge channels and collaterals, activate qi and blood, regulate the function of viscera, and achieve the function of preventing and treating diseases.

② By massaging the relevant areas of the foot, the physiological and pathological conditions of the viscera and organs can be detected, and the therapeutic effect can also be achieved.

The foot is the second heart of the human body. Foot massage can dredge blood circulation, increase the speed of blood return, help the heart to play the role of blood pump, improve blood circulation, give full play to blood circulation, and play a role in human health.

(4) Massage the reflex zone of the foot can excite a large number of nerve endings on the skin and transmit them to the nerve center, and at the same time block other pathological afferents to the nerve center, so that the vicious cycle of pathology becomes a benign cycle, thus playing the role of health care and treatment.

Why is thai massage more painful than Chinese massage?

With the growth of human age, toxins in the body will accumulate more and more. These accumulated toxins are difficult to excrete, which will form an "air knot". These gas knots will not disappear naturally, but will increase with time, making the body stiff and weak, and it will be very painful to touch it gently. Therefore, a professional masseur is needed to push away the gas knot. This is also the truth that "the general principle does not hurt, but the pain will not work."

In addition to targeted treatment of qi stagnation and familiar joint relief, thai massage also has his own set of theories on meridian and acupoint pressing and stretching. Massage each other's acupoints with fingers, arms, knees and legs. Human acupoints correspond to various organs of the body. If the acupoints are painful during massage, it means that there is something wrong with the organs corresponding to the acupoints and it needs to be adjusted in time. And the process of "pain" is also the process of treatment, so thai massage is very painful, because the masseur diagnoses and treats your body in the process of massage.
