Foundation of Meridian TheoryThe first written record of Meridian theory in massage therapy appeared in a Chinese medical text dating from the 3rd century BC. Meridians are the invisible pathways of Qi, defined as channels of positive or negative energies that communicate between different parts of the body. Meridian massage focuses on improving Qi, the body’s natural flow of energy. In restoring the healthy flow of Qi, Meridian massage not only opens the pathway to beauty but to an improved quality of health as well.
