Japanese Face Massage
WHY HAVE TSUBOKI® JAPANESE FACE MASSAGE?
The Japanese believe that beauty is more
than skin deep, and that to be beautiful you have to be healthy too.
The
fantastic thing about Tsuboki™ Japanese face massage is that it works
on many levels at the same time, from the inside and the outside
By
working SUPERFICIALLY we improve skin tone and lymph
flow.
By working with the MUSCULATURE at a deeper
level, we can affect muscle tone and general appearance, as well as
prepare the face for the next stage
By working with the MERIDIANS
that run through the face, we can affect the balance of health in the
whole body. In addition, many of the TSUBOS have a
specific beneficial effect on the appearance of the face
By working
with the LYMPHATIC system we encourage the removal of
metabolic waste products.
Many of the techniques can help to
prevent lines, wrinkles, and puffiness - a natural facelift!
PARADOXES
OF TSUBOKI™ JAPANESE FACE MASSAGE
ONE: the face is a very
accessible part of the body to offer for massage, yet face massage can
be the most intimate and nurturing of massages.
TWO: face
massage is incredibly relaxing to receive, but 7 of the 8 meridians
that run through the face are the yang, or more energising ones. This
may explain why clients often report feeling deeply relaxed during the
massage but balanced and energised afterwards.
SUITABILITY

some circumstances Tsuboki™ Japanese Face Massage may not be
