Best Chinese Massages near me in Barentin, Rouen

A Chinese massage focuses on holistic health, directing massage to very specific acupressure points on your body to target specific problems and boost your wellbeing. A regular massage, on the other hand, is centred on relaxation and stress relief.

Chinese and Thai massages are similar in that they aim to rebalance your body’s energy. Both are carried out with you clothed, however a Thai massage is conducted with you lying or sitting on the floor, and a Chinese massage is carried out with you lying or sitting on a couch or chair. Thai massage therapists use their hands, fingers, elbows, knees and feet to manipulate your body’s joints in a way that will stretch and destress your muscles; Chinese massage therapists use their hands, fingers and elbows to stimulate acupressure points and meridians in your soft tissues.

Chinese massage (Tui Na) is a form of therapeutic massage rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. It uses rhythmic pressing, rolling, and kneading techniques on acupressure points and energy meridians to relieve pain, improve circulation, and restore the balance of qi (vital energy).

Your practitioner will use their elbows, fingers and hands to administer kneading, twisting, pulling, and pushing massage techniques on specific points on your body. This aims to unblock the flow of your qi and restore balance to your body.

While both involve hands-on techniques, Chinese massage works specifically with TCM principles, targeting acupressure points and meridians to balance the body's energy. The techniques can be more vigorous than a Western relaxation massage.
