What are the massage techniques of traditional Chinese medicine?

Grasping chicken tendons is kneading skin and muscles, which is a common name of Chinese medicine massage and belongs to kneading method. Pinch the skin and muscles from the bone surface with your fingers at an appropriate position, which is called kneading.

There are some similarities between kneading and grasping, but grasping requires the full efforts of both hands, and kneading focuses on fingers. Hold it tighter and pinch it lighter. Kneading is a basic technique commonly used in massage, which is often combined with kneading.

Kneading actually includes the squeezing action of fingertips. Because muscles are slightly squeezed, kneading can strengthen the activity of skin and tendons and improve blood and lymphatic circulation. Gently kneading can dispel wind and cold, remove blood stasis and deeply knead, and can treat muscle and joint pain caused by wind, cold and dampness in and around tendons and joints.
