Chinese medicine, in contrast to Western medicine, emphasizes keeping the meridians open to a smooth flow of qi and bodily fluids. In most cases heat and tuina massage are applied to promote increased circulation of bodily fluids and relaxation of muscles.
至於中醫，強調經絡暢通，經過熱敷、推拿按摩後，通常都有促進血液循環與放鬆肌肉的效果。
