French VersionThe Traditional Chinese Massage : Origins
What is our first reaction when we sense uneasiness, blockage
or physical pain ? Our natural instinct is to lay our hands
on the region of the body that is harmed.
Our fingers exercise pressure, friction, tapping, pinching
in an instinctive manner.
For instance, a mother will naturally touch or massage her
child when he/she starts crying.
It's from the observation of these instinctive auto-healing
behaviours that were established the foundations of the
Traditional Chinese Massage.
It was enriched and perfected as experience and time went
by and became a very effective therapeutic method.
It was listed around 440 before Christ, an era when the
first medical text of the Yellow Empire made its appearance
(Nei Jing, Qi Bo An Mo Shi Juan) and was already put in
the same ranks as acupuncture and above pharmacopoeia.
