MICRO MASSAGE
One of the oldest documents, if not the oldest one we have in the field of medicine, is the book of the Yellow Emperor called the Huang Di Nei Jing Su Wen, a canon of Chinese medicine from 4800 years ago. It was written by the Yellow Emperor and his 70 court physicians, led by his great teacher and master named Quibo, who has lived a very long life.
The eighty-seven chapters of this work are written in a minuscule, 700-page ancient ideographic Old Chinese script, and remain the only reference of traditional Chinese doctors of the Far East, so in the 12 chapters of this book it is inscripted: “PARALYSIS AND CONTRACTURES ARE IN THE JURISDICTION OF MASSAGE AND GYMNASTICS”. In this summary, we can see that the author advises either the manual or active mobilisation of muscle groups, ie massage or CHI-GONG gymnastics , accordingly whether it is hypertonic (contracture) or hypotonic (paralysis).
Massage and Kinesiotherapy in China was and remains one of the noble skills of medicine. Therefore, we should not be surprised at the fact that these techniques are different from today’s European technique, because the anatomical and physiological laws have changed very little since the time of ancient emperors from the 3rd and 4th millennia of the old era. Much later, perhaps throughout the millennium, these techniques have arrived in Egypt, Greece, and Rome. There is, however, a certain Chinese “specialty” for the
massage. In technical terms, it is located between classical massage and acupuncture. This method is called MICRO-MASSAGE THROUGH ACUPUNCTURE POINTS.

massage. In technical terms, it is located between classical massage and acupuncture. This method is called MICRO-MASSAGE THROUGH ACUPUNCTURE POINTS.
This method is applied by means of external and clean physical activity to well-defined body areas called dermotopes or acupuncture points. Micro-massage is combining the acupuncture theories with gentle external massage technique over acupuncture channels and points. This treatment is performed manually of with help of instruments designed in such a way as not to cause any injury to the skin.
How can we define Chinese micro – massage?
Micro- massage is basically a massage, because it involves the massage of certain body areas, but it is a MICRO – MASSAGE because it is a much scaled down form of massage, because these body areas comprise the cutaneous regions of an extremely small part, even below one square centimetre called Dermotopes or Acupuncture Locations. We can ask ourselves the following: How is it possible that such a mechanical, weak intervention has much better results than classical massage, by treating the muscles, muscle groups, and even organs deep in the body. This is where we come across the differences between the two techniques: classic massage has a mechanical effect, while micro-massage has the energy-effect.
Mikromasaža je u Kini već odavno jedna veoma usavršena medicinska tehnika, stara oko 3000 godina. Nju primenjuju ne samo specijalisti mikromasaže već i akupunkturolozi koji kod plašljivog deteta ili bolesnika ne mogu primeniti igle pa akupunkturne bunarčiće tretiraju na ovaj način već prema datom slučaju.
Uprkos spektakularnim rezultatima koji se dosta često postižu kineska mikromasaža je potpuno bezopasna.
Micro-massage has long been one of China’s most advanced medical techniques, about 3,000 years old. It is applied not only by micro- massage specialists, but also by acupuncturists who can not apply needles in a case of a frightened child or patient, and treat acupuncture points in this way.
Despite the spectacular results that are often achieved by Chinese micro- massage, it is completely harmless.
