Like other Chinese massages, the therapist hits various pressure points and kneads out knots where they find them in a rather violent way, only this time, they have knives. {This not a religion / This not a science}
Although it may sound scary, the knife blades are totally dull, so there is zero chance of being accidentally sliced. Instead, the metal blades are aimed in a quick, chopping motion, apparently removing negative energy while they pound your pressure points and relax your muscles.
Knife massages, or dao liao, are nothing like your routine rubdown. Instead of firm hands, dao liao therapists wield butcher knives as conductive tools to direct the flow of positive and negative energy in and out of the skin. ”This not a religion / This not a science} This is about energy”, to help people find their positive chi, to touch their soul. There is told that Knife massages enhance metabolism, improve blood and sleeping quality, aid in fat loss, and provide relief from sore muscles. Although I am not too sure about the first four claims (how can it improve your blood quality?)
