Tibetan massage - is a very ancient therapy already mentioned in the Bum Shi, a text of Tibetan medicine dating back to approximately 4,000 years ago. In Tibetan Medicine, there are four main therapeutical approaches: diet, behaviour, medicines and external therapies. Massage is considered to be one of the most important external therapies, because of it's contribution to the well being of the patient.
It includes two main different phases; KU - that is applying oil, moving joints, applying heat on the body and NYE - that is kneading, rubbing, tapping in order to work on muscles and tendons. Ku and Nye are both important for the general well being of patients and are ideal to balance energies and remove tension, fatigue and nervousness. Then, in case of specific problems, the therapist will work on the specific points; there are approximately 250 different points on the body which can be treated to cure different kinds of disorders. Points can be pressed, rotated, tapped with fingers or with a particular stick.
