Classification and matters needing attention of Chinese massage

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is one of the most important ways to maintain health by using massage to replenish yin and yang, balance yin and yang and promote the coordination of yin and yang inside and outside the human body. Su Wen also pointed out this point. On ancient naivety: "Those who know, the method lies in Yin and Yang, the skill lies in and ... and they will die at the age of 100." It is emphasized that people should conform to the changing laws of nature and be good at maintaining and regulating their own yin and yang in order to achieve the goal of health and longevity. The imbalance between yin and yang is the most important factor in the occurrence of diseases. As Su Wen's theory of correspondence between yin and yang says, "Yin is a disease of yang, and Yang is a disease of yin." Massage can lead yin into yang and yang into yin. Massage techniques are also divided into yin and yang, with pushing, kneading and shaking as yang and clicking and pressing as yin.

Massage should be based on the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine and choose massage methods according to the pathological condition of human body, so as to achieve the purpose of physical therapy. Massage is a kind of physical therapy.
