Meridian Massage is a powerful bodywork therapy rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that focuses on stimulating the body’s energy pathways—known as meridians—to promote healing, balance, and deep relaxation. At The ON Acupuncture, we incorporate Meridian Massage to complement acupuncture treatments, helping you experience enhanced well-being and relief from various physical and emotional issues.
What Are Meridians?
In TCM, meridians are channels through which Qi (life energy) flows throughout the body. There are 12 primary meridians, each linked to specific organs and bodily functions. When Qi flows freely and harmoniously, health is maintained. Blockages or imbalances in these pathways can lead to pain, tension, fatigue, or illness.
How Meridian Massage Works
Meridian Massage involves applying targeted pressure, kneading, and stroking techniques along these energy channels to stimulate Qi flow, release tension, and restore balance. Unlike conventional massage, which focuses mainly on muscles, Meridian Massage works on the energetic level, addressing both physical and energetic blockages.
This therapy enhances blood circulation, relieves muscle stiffness, reduces stress, and supports the body’s natural healing processes.
