This image represents the essence of Traditional Chinese Medicine’s ancient practice of An Mo pressing and rubbing or Qigong Massage. It is considered the foundational technique behind Japan's Anma massage therapy.
The categories of this traditional practice encompass Pu Tong An Mo for general relief, Tui Na An Mo which involves pushing and grasping techniques on muscles, Dian Xue An Mo focusing on cavity pressing methods, and Qi An Mo concentrating on energy manipulation. Among these, Tui Na emphasizes pushing, stretching, and kneading actions while Zhi Ya focuses on pinpointing acupressure points via pinching and pressing.
The Chinese foot massage has a storied history dating back centuries and remns popular in contemporary China, offering therapeutic benefits through a foot bath followed by a vigorous massage targeting various pressure points throughout the feet, ankles, and legs. The first exposure to traditional Chinese massage can be notably intense for Western individuals as it often involves deep pressure.
This practice is deeply rooted in Huangdi Neijing, an ancient medical text the Yellow Emperor, which has been consulted for over two millennia. The text orses massage therapy not only for healing but also as a means of mntning health and well-being. A watercolor depiction from this era captures the essence of foot care practices with precision and detl.
