Features of the Eastern type of massage

Eastern culture is very different from the European, и это отличие распространяется на все области жизни восточного человека, в том числе и на технику исполнения массажа. На востоке техника массажа была разработана в незапамятные времена, когда в Европе еще даже не представляли, What is massage, At the same time, the developed execution technology differs significantly from that, which later appeared in European countries.

 

First difference, which has an oriental massage from a European one, is that, that no lubricating fluids are used during the procedure. That is, everything is done with dry hands., thanks to which the massage specialist is able to penetrate deeply into the human body with his fingers. Another difference is that, that the type of massage in question does not have to be done with your hands, It is allowed to knead the muscles with the legs. As a rule, Kneading the body with your feet is done after, how muscles and joints relax in a sauna and this massage option is not suitable for people with weak muscles, since there is a risk of intervertebral disc displacement.

 

In the east there is a widespread opinion, that vital energy circulates throughout the human body, or life force. This energy flows in the human body along certain meridians. Each meridian is associated with certain internal organs, accordingly, if you influence one or another meridian, then in this way you can regulate the functioning of internal organs. This philosophy is fully used when performing massage in the Oriental style.. That is, a specialist, kneading the human body, acts with fingers along the meridians of vital energy. In this regard, there are a number of rules, according to which the type of massage in question should be carried out.

 

So, если массажист massages the inner part of the lower extremities, then its movements should be carried out from bottom to top, since in this part of the body there are meridians to the spleen and kidneys, to which energy flows from bottom to top. But, if massage is performed on the external parts of the lower extremities, then the movements should be done in reverse, that is, from top to bottom along the meridians of the stomach, gallbladder.

 

There are a number of other rules, which should be in the oriental massage. So, becomes, obviously, that this type of massage is performed by a specialist should be a high-end, who knows how to run the procedure and is able to detect any body lines, which carries the vital energy of a person.
