About Us
Hull Chinese Massage was established 2 years ago to allow free training to young people in the Hull and East Riding in Traditional Chinese Massage in order to help them with employment in later life.
All the instructors are in full time work in their personal jobs, but they always find time to help others when they can in the way of voluntary work. The club has a large amount of regular members but also serves around 200 extra people in the local community. They have spent years helping people with bad backs, trapped nerves etc.
The long term goal of Hull Chinese Massage is to place young people in employment and give them the skills to succeed in life.
We are currently running a 2 year Diploma in the Art of Ching Lo Massage (Collateral Vessels) to 40 of the organisations existing students free of charge. This includes masage techniques, stretching techniques, hot stone therapy, ear candling, chinese cupping and Neuro Linguistic Programming.
What is Ching Lo
The meaning of Ching Lo translates to Collateral vessels.
External stimulation of energy (chi) and "Blood" in diverse ways, including acupressure, acupuncture, cupping, moxabustion, and application of "acu-powder," electricity, herbs, or magnets.
Ching Lo is based on joint mobilisation, general massage, connective tissue massage, deep friction massage, lymphatic massage, passive range of motion exercises, muscle energy techniques, and nerve mobilisation. Additional skills of ear candling, Chinese cupping, hot stone therapy and neuro linguistic programming are also used.
Zen Shin Katsu
Katsu (sometimes written Kuatsu) was originally meant to revive. It is an ancient Japanese therapy used within Martial Arts circles to resuscitate and relieve injury related pain using traditional pressure point techniques.
Based on the same theories as those used in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. It realigns the disrupted chi energy lines by finger pressure, manipulation and stretching techniques the cause of the problem Is then relieved and health is restored.
Generally, the main areas identified for such pressure point massage is situated on either side of the spine. Points referred to in Traditional Chinese Medicine as "Back - shu Points" Normally the whole body receives attention, not just the point of pain; and often reflex points on the hands, feet and ears are used in treatments. As well as specific points along meridian lines. These techniques use traditional points to effectively reduce the perception of pain.
Gentle stretching and movement of the appropriate joints aimed at stretching and re aligning meridian energy gives great relief to aches and pains of a muscular /skeletal nature.
Warmth is often created to areas of the body using the chi energy flowing through the practitioner’s hands.
Relaxation or meditation techniques are used to teach the power of positive thinking (or "mind over matter") an integral part of Oriental theory. Other focusing and visualisation techniques may be used to achieve an altered perception about pain or problems.
We are here to help the community and build the voluntary organisation known as Hull Chinese Massage for the future.
