Chinese massage brings together various manual practices from Chinese traditions. A session may combine pressure with the fingers or palms, kneading, friction, rhythmic movements and attentive work on certain areas of the body.
Unlike acupuncture, acupressure uses no needles. It consists of applying manual pressure to specific points or areas of the body.
At Massage Chinois 168, these practices are offered for relaxation and well-being. Pressure must always remain adapted to each person's sensitivity and preferences.
