Soothing, calming and divine are just but a few of the superlatives that resonate with the Hong Kong massage which is famous for its effectiveness and relaxing nature. Aside from getting you into your comfort zone, the therapy has also been substantiated to improve your overall health particularly with regards to the following ailments:
i) Insomnia
Are your nights characterized by toss and turns rather than the quite zzz’s of peaceful sleep? Then you could be having a case of insomnia on your hands. The root cause of which is, more often than not, stress. A Hong Kong massage can help keep the stress in check and return the flow of positive energy into your body to guarantee a good night’s sleep. The bodywork that goes into the techniques targets specific acupressure points and induces sleep by deactivating the part of your brain that triggers restless and switching on the side that welcomes digestion and rest.
ii) Sciatica
This is a neuromuscular illness that affects the sciatic nerve which connects the lower legs to the lower back and enables communication between these two areas. By smoothing out the connective tissue necklacing the nerve and relaxing tension-filled muscles that might be pressing down on it, the massage helps keep Sciatica- and the pain that comes with it- at bay.
iii) Arthritis
Traditional Chinese Medicine believes ‘yin’ (or too much dampness) in the body is normally what leads to arthritis. The therapy, therefore, looks to restore parity between the yin and the yang- or, the cold and the hot- so as to offset the imbalance and thereby mitigate the onset of arthritis. It also does this by alleviating tension in the connective tissues linking joints.
iv) Irritable bowel syndrome
Although the exact cause of IBS remains a grey area, one thing is for certain: a Hong Kong massage offers a proven solution to cope with the disease. When paired with acupuncture and herbal treatments, it can remedy physical symptoms of the condition such as diarrhea and constipation. Pressure points around the colon are manipulated so as to manage the organ’s vital force and alleviate stress which has also been shown to pave the way for IBS.
v) Headaches
We’ve already established the therapy’s prowess in eliminating stress and tension and it is again this attribute that helps get rid of the occasional headache or migraine. Chinese customs dictate that either condition is due to the accumulation of too much energy in the head and that the massage circulates this energy consequently providing relief from headaches.

vi) Blood flow
Staying on the matter of circulation, the therapy can also improve the flow of blood within the body thereby ensuring a consistent supply of oxygen and nutrients for healthy muscles and organs. Stimulated presses catalyze the improved circulation which bolsters your immunity system and fights illnesses such as chronic fatigue and respiratory complications.
