At TCM WINDOW, one of the options for relaxation is the Chinese massage.

Imagine that you are sitting on a comfortable chair while a pair of soft, healing hands are massaging your feet in such a way that you feel revitalized and relaxed instantly. It feels like heaven. A professional foot massage can make you feel like you're in paradise. Like the Thai massage, the Chinese foot massage is also gaining popularity due its relaxation qualities. There are many beauty salons and spas that offer this luxurious massage. This massage is more than 5,000 years old and is based on the principle of reflexology. The complete Chinese foot massage consists of massaging the pressure points with Chinese herbal oils and lotions.

According to the theory of reflexology, human beings have certain reflexes in their hands and feet that relate to every organ and overall system of the body. These reflexes are energy centers which need to be stimulated for revival. So, finding the right energy centers and stimulating them with the right amount of pressure is very important in this kind of massage.

The Chinese massage has a detailed philosophy behind it. Ancient China believed in the concept of energy flow. According to them, the human body functions on energy levels that flow inside the body and need to be balanced. These energies were considered as the 'force of life', commonly known as 'chi' in China. They believed that emotional and physical problems are the result of a blockage in the energy flow, and have to be eliminated for a smooth flow. This results in a healthy body and peaceful mind. So, the essence of the Chinese massage technique is identifying and massaging the right pressure points of the feet.
