Traditional Chinese Massage Singapore

What is Traditional Chinese Massage (TCM)?

Those seeking stress relief and improved well-being can explore TCM massage in Singapore, also known as Traditional Chinese massage or Meridian massage.

Meridian massage incorporates techniques like acupressure and kneading to target pressure points and meridian points along the body believed to be essential for good health. By promoting the flow of energy throughout the body, our TCM body massage aims to ease tension, reduce aches and pain and restore balance for overall well-being.

How TCM Massage Works

The primary goal of Traditional Chinese Massage is to unblock the flow of Qi (life energy) and restore balance within the body. By applying pressure or manipulation to specific acupoints along the meridians energy lines, TCM massage can directly influence the flow of Qi to help the body regain its natural equilibrium.

Our TCM massage therapists use a variety of massage techniques to achieve this. Each technique targets specific issues, whether musculoskeletal, circulatory, or stress-related, ensuring a holistic approach to wellness. Tuina, the most common form of TCM body massage, utilises acupressure, kneading and rolling manipulations along energy channels and points. For more profound muscle tension, therapists may use Gua Sha, a skin scraping technique to stimulate blood flow and break down stagnation. Cupping therapy involves placing heated glass cups on the skin to create suction, promoting circulation and easing localised pain.

Some TCM massage may also incorporate additional elements to enhance the therapeutic benefits. For example, Meridian massage combines acupuncture with herbal oils specifically chosen to promote immediate healing to expel dampness and wind from the body. These oils might contain ingredients like peppermint for muscle aches or lavender for relaxation.

A typical TCM massage in Singapore usually lasts for 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the problem at hand. Our massage therapist will work with you to apply the appropriate body massage technique based on your individual needs and health goals.

By incorporating TCM massage into your wellness routine, you can maintain a more balanced flow of Qi throughout your body for improved circulation, pain relief and stress reduction.
