The Art of Sensual Massage

The Handbook of Chinese Massage The Handbook of Chinese Massage integrates classic Tui Na(meaning push and grasp ) techniques used in the Orient for centuries into a revolutionary method used to bring health and well-being to the whole body. Traditional Chinese massage practioners use a wide variety of techniques to treat specific ailments. Those techniques are all demonstrated here and can be used to treat headaches, arthritis, sciatica, slipped disks, sports injuries, PMS, inflammatory bowel disease, emotional disorders, stress, and neck, shoulder, and back pain. After years of study in China, Indonesia, and Thailand, Maria Mercati has taken these techniques and combined them into a system of whole-body treatment never before seen in the East or West. Using Tui Na massage you can stimulate the flow of Qi(vital energy) in healthy as well as sick individuals. The Handbook of Chinese Massage includes step-by-step instructions for each of the fifteen unique Tui Na techniques, many of which are unfamiliar to Western massage practioners. Over 100 color pictures and diagrams clearly show where to place your hands on the body to find the key meridians. From Barnes&Noble From Amazon - Handbook of Chinese Massage
