Chinese Medicine
At the core of Chinese Medicine achieving balance is the goal. Yin and Yang, every living thing is sustained by a balance of two opposing forces of energy, called Yin and Yang. It is the combination of these elements that create the life essence, or energy that flows through the body. When the balance of Yin and Yang is out of sync in the body blockages occur which have a detrimental affect on health.

To achieve this flow Chinese body work focuses on two main therapeutic techniques 1 st the use of hand techniques to massage the soft tissue (muscles and tendons) of the body. (Bowen therapy works on a similar principle.) 2 nd the realignment of the musculoskeletal system and ligaments. 3 rd the use of externally applied herbal poultices, compresses or liniments and salves.
Practitioners combine body manipulation techniques, massage and herbal remedies as the main tools for establishing the desired effect of a more harmonious flow of Qi through the system.
