How to Give Chinese Tui Na Massage: Asian Massage Techniques : Neck and Shoulders Technique: How to Give Chinese Tui Na Massage

Hi, I just had my very FIRST massage today. It was a Chinese one. I did my neck n shoulders. Someone pls explain to me, why the hell I'm in so much pain?? Arrr... Hoping it turns out better tomorrow...

did it?

The 'deep tissue' KNEADING pulverized me, like a piece of meat meeting a meat mallet! Now a week on, the pain is still there, and my nerves are still shot!...

*Any* massage technique will do this if the practitioner tries to immediately jump into deep work. You can think of the fiber structure of muscles like a woven rope - 1) loosen the cords, 2) begin teasing them apart, 3) start loosening the strings that make up the cords, 4) begin teasing them apart. If you try to immediately jump into step 4, deep work, it's like trying to tease apart the strings while the whole rope is still woven. You're more likely to tear and cause damage than anything.

Thanks. You've straightened it out for me. I knew it was a mistake afterwards. I didn't realize the massage would last only a few minutes. Next time, I'll find out more info beforehand!

because your a pussy

i had the same problem, my neck was stiff, so i had a chinese massage, that was ok, my neck was better but, i found my leg had a sharp pain in it, i then found out that the pain in my neck had gone down into my leg, and that i was spose to have a FULL body massage (something about getting out all tha bad stuff in you).

I'm feeling relaxed just by watching him give a massage.

Haha, good one.

You are so, so right.
