Chinese Face, Neck and Shoulder Massage

What is Daoyin Tao?

Daoyin Tao® - pronounced DOW YIN TOW - as in TOWn, is an exciting complementary therapy which reflects the Oriental and Western philosophies toward health, healing and well-being which form the basis of this therapy.

Daoyin Tao is a powerful synergy of softened and adapted Chinese and stylized Western massage techniques harmoniously blended to create a widely applicable therapy

Daoyin Tao releases trapped and stagnant energy, thus allowing the body to begin the process of healing itself from within, often at the deepest levels.

Many common ailments We 'live with' are ideally suited to the deep healing potential of this complementary therapy.

The original skills which underpin Daoyin Tao are still practised today in clinics and hospitals throughout China; however, for Daoyin Tao they have been adapted to suit the Western preference for a more gentle, flowing massage.

What happens during a treatment?

By using a holistic approach, the aim is to identify how best Daoyin Tao can assist you towards better balanced health and well-being.

With Daoyin Tao, the focus is on treating the person rather than a specific ailment

To receive the treatment you will need to remove any necklaces, earrings and hair accessories and make your neck and shoulders accessible. You will lie on your back, covered with a towel/blanket, with your head supported. The contact will be to your shoulders, neck, face and ears with scalp optional. Any concerns about your hair should be minimal as Daoyin Tao is done in such a way as to avoid using excessive oil.

Optimum benefit is usually gained from three to four sessions received on a weekly basis, as the effect is cumulative. Thereafter, monthly maintenance sessions are ideal for preventative healthcare.
