Use the skills of hands and fingers to continuously move on human skin and muscle tissue to treat diseases. This method is called massage therapy.

According to China's historical records, famous doctors in the pre-Qin period used massage therapy to treat the syncope of Prince Guo's body. It has been more than 2,000 years since the Qin Dynasty, so massage has a long history in China.

China's earliest massage monograph, The Yellow Emperor's Massage Sutra (ten volumes, see Hanshu Yiwenzhi), has long been lost. However, the existing classic medical book Huangdi Neijing talks about massage in many places, such as "the formation of qi and blood" and "different methods, appropriate treatment".

Method of judging whether massage shop is formal or not

1, look at the sign.

Every store has its own name and signboard. If you, as a customer, want to judge whether a massage shop is formal or not, you can observe the name signboard at the door of the shop. There are also some brief introductions of common businesses under the name, which generally involve acupuncture, cupping and massage, and are generally more formal.

2. Look at the customers.

I want to know whether the massage shop is formal or not, or whether I can wait for several days in a row. For example, find a place where you can see the store, and count the number and gender ratio of customers entering the store within a specified time period. Generally, the proportion of male and female customers in a regular store should be equal. If this ratio is seriously out of balance, it should be a bit tricky.

Except, of course, professional service organizations, such as regular professional health care shops only for women or men.
