Massage Therapy

Massotherapy (massage) means to move the hands and fingers skillfully on human's skin and muscles. By doing this, tiredness will ease. This skill in China is called massotherapy.

According to history, a famous doctor named Bian Que used this method to treat a prince in Guo - an ancient Chinese nation. It is 2,000 years from Qin Dynasty to the present, so we can say that the massotherapy has a very long history.

In the Medical Classics of Huangdi, the massotherapy method was mentioned several times. People in ancient times treated diseases like insensitive limbs, fainting etc by massotherapy.
