JIN MO QI GONG, JIN MO QI GONG

An alternative technique to deep tissue massage that uses principles of working and connecting with the body's fascia, energy and core, while promoting safe and effective results for both patient/client and practitioner. Jin Mo Qi Gong was crafted for several reasons. First, to share valuable information with massage therapists and related medical practitioners who also utilize massage therapy techniques. Second, to promote the concepts of Fascia and Energy as viable elements of massage therapy application. Third, to introduce a theory and technique that can be an alternative to conventional deep tissue massage, which traditionally can cause pain or injury and requires aggressive or forceful application. Fourth, to recommend simple exercises that will enhance proper use of the body core for optimal body mechanics. Jin Mo Qi Gong does this by promoting Fascia and Energy as key factors in the massage process and by demonstrating, through the practice of Qi Gong, effective body core management. Since Fascia is the most fundamental and predominant tissue in the body, it stands to reason that in order to treat muscle properly you must address the Fascia first. Also, the connection with the energy of the patient/client and practitioner is paramount. The end result is a safe and effective process that goes just as deep, if not deeper, than deep tissue massage claims, and is applied with minimal effort and causes no pain or injury. If applied properly, the practitioner will save his/her hands from injury, extending their massage career and the patient/client leaves your office happy, pain free and healing naturally, all due to working with the Fascia, Energy and the Body Core.
