There are many forms of Asian bodywork and most are based on TCM - Traditional Chinese Medicine's 5 Element Theory. After an assessment your practitioner decides if you are excess-Yang or deficient –Yin. If you are currently in an excess condition then a more vigorous or dispersing technique would be best applied to bring you into balance. If you are deficient, then a soothing, blood and chi building technique would be best applied. After a few sessions you will learn some self care tools to assess you current state and make simple changes to create balance. Keep in mind that Asian bodywork is a compliment to acupuncture not a replacement.
