Traditional Chinese medicine

Meridians are the body's “lifelines”.

In Chinese medicine, meridians are described as energy pathways in the human body. They run within the body in matching pairs, with many acupuncture points along each meridian.

According to this teaching, meridians connect the five solid and six hollow organs with the limbs and play a key role in traditional techniques aimed at balance and wellbeing.

“Meridians determine life and death … and can regulate emptiness and fullness, so they should not be blocked.”

Traditional Chinese medicine text

Meridians are a conceptual framework of traditional practice, not an anatomical structure confirmed by modern medicine.

Why massage matters

The significance of bioenergetic meridian massage.

The massager combines traditional Chinese medicine techniques with modern technology. This is how the massage looks from the perspective of tradition and of the user:

01

Massage and bioelectric stimulation

The practitioner combines massage techniques with controlled bioelectric stimulation along the meridians. The stimulation acts on muscles, tendons and nerves and is experienced as a deep, relaxing massage.

02

Balance according to tradition

In traditional Chinese medicine, this kind of massage is described as “clearing blockages” in the meridians and encouraging the free flow of Chi energy and blood.

03

Plant-based creams and oils

Plant-based creams and essential oils are used with the massage to help the gloves glide and to leave a pleasant feel on the skin.

04

One session, the whole body

A session lasts up to about an hour and covers the energy channels of the whole body. In wellness terms, it is a thorough, relaxing full-body massage.

Traditional techniques

Tradition at the core of the treatment.

Bioenergetic meridian massage is inspired by traditional Chinese medicine techniques: work on acupuncture points, Gua Sha strokes, Tui Na massage, moxibustion and cupping.
