History
Chinese massage has a rich history dating back over 3,000 years. It was first recommended as the “massage of skin and flesh” in The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, an ancient Chinese text from 2700 B.C. Closely related to acupuncture, Chinese massage is believed to offer similar benefits. By applying pressure to specific points used in acupuncture, a Chinese massage therapist aims to promote healing and overall well-being.

Benefits
One of the key benefits of massage is pain relief, whether caused by muscle overuse or sports injuries. Massage can also alleviate tension headaches and reduce anxiety by promoting relaxation of the nervous system. Temporary effects include lowering blood pressure and heart rate. After a massage, many people feel refreshed, less stressed, and more alert, improving their ability to tackle daily tasks. Massage also boosts blood circulation, which enhances skin smoothness. At Foot Finesse, we use oils and lotions to further enhance these benefits.
