Sessions also include coaching in breathing, nutrition, and self-massage, promoting education, awareness, and self-care. Furthermore, unprocessed emotions stored in the digestive system are a major cause of illness.Ĭhi Nei Tsang helps to release these stored emotions, thereby affecting a person’s mental and emotional experience. The practitioner works on the abdomen, encouraging the organs to work at their highest efficiency. Chi Nei Tsang addresses the vital bodily systems: digestive, endocrine, integumentary, lymphatic, muscular, nervous, reproductive, respiratory, and urinary. In Chi Nei Tsang, there is a focus on the navel center, where emotions, stress, and tension accumulate. This form of bodywork is a combination of ancient and new healing techniques that promote emotional, physical, and mental well-being. Chi Nei Tsang serves to increase the chi, or life-force energy, of the internal organs by applying pressure, energy, and massage techniques to the abdominal area. Though it may take some concentration to relax while receiving deep tissue massage, the benefits are long-lasting!Īlso, know as Taoist Abdominal Massage, the name literally means organ chi transformation. This increases the supply of nutrients and oxygen needed to begin the healing process. We usually accumulate rigor over time, often without knowing it until we suddenly injure a muscle that has become compromised.ĭeep tissue massage forces the rigor in tight muscles to release, thereby allowing more blood to flow into the area. Since all of the muscles in our bodies are connected to other muscles through fascial layers, rigor in one area can greatly affect another area. This causes varying degrees of pain, and an eventual loss of strength and function. Rigor causes blood vessels in the muscle to constrict, thereby cutting off the supply of essential nutrients and oxygen to some of the muscle fibers. Muscles become fatigued from overuse and everyday activities, such as sitting, repetitive motions, and mental or nutritional stress.įatigue can lead to a state of “rigor,” or chronic, severe tension in the muscle fibers.
Through the slow, deep compression along the “belly” of a muscle in therapeutic deep tissue massage, one can obtain muscle relaxation that is otherwise difficult to achieve through stretching or light massage.
