From Ancient Roots to Today

Chinese massage began as instinctive self‑care—hands easing sore muscles after long days of work—and grew into a pillar of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Its lineage reaches back to the Shang Dynasty, where oracle bone records point to early therapeutic touch. By the Qin and Han eras, the Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic) described diagnostic and therapeutic effects of massage (often called Daoyin Anqiao), and the first specialized treatise, the Huangdi Qibo Massage Classic, was compiled. Through the Sui and Tang dynasties, massage earned formal departments and clinical roles; across the Ming and Qing dynasties, distinct schools and texts refined techniques that ultimately evolved into the widely practiced therapeutic and health‑preserving methods we know today.

At Datang, we honor that heritage—applying time‑tested methods with contemporary professionalism to help you move, sleep, and feel better.

How TCM Bodywork Works

Qi (vital energy): Wellbeing depends on the smooth, balanced flow of Qi.
Meridians: Pathways that connect organs and systems; targeted points help restore balance.
Yin–Yang: Health arises from harmony between complementary forces.

Core Modalities We Use

Tui Na (Push & Grasp): Therapeutic kneading, rolling, pressing, and stretching.
Acupressure (Zhi Ya): Focused pressure along meridians to encourage flow and calm.
Gua Sha: Smooth tools stimulate circulation; temporary redness is a normal response.
Cupping Therapy: Gentle suction to boost blood flow and ease tightness.
Reflexology: Targeted foot/hand/ear points that reflect whole‑body systems.

Benefits & What to Expect

Sessions may help reduce pain and stiffness, deepen relaxation and sleep, improve circulation and mobility, and support day‑to‑day recovery. Your appointment begins with a brief consultation; techniques are tailored and may be dynamic (and occasionally strong yet relieving). Treatments can be combined with cupping, Gua Sha, or herbal liniments when appropriate.
