Korean massage - history, techniques, and influence on modern spas today

Korean Massage uses many different Japanese massage techniques including fingertip, thumb and elbow pressure, along with shiatsu and reflexologymovements to release muscle tension, relax the nervous system and create positive energy flow throughout the body. 

These techniques have been used in Korea, along with acupuncture and herbal remedies, for thousands of years.

Good health is seen in Korea as the proper balance of Um-Yang (like Chinese Yin-Yang), good energy flow through the body.

Bodywork in this country views the mind and body as interdependent of one another, therefore, emotions can greatly affect physical health.

Rather than a massage parlor, Korea is more famous for kiln saunas or han jeung mak. They are dark cave-like structures with a small low opening at the entrance.

Within seconds of entering the cave, it feels as if you are baking your body in an oven broiler. But afterwards, because it increases metabolism and relieves back, head and neck pain, you feel amazing.

The jjimjilbang (or steam room), as it is called, is a place to hear all the latest gossip as you sweat and purify. As you enter the male or female locker room, you will notice very few inhibitions, everyone is really relaxed with their own body. In the sauna room, folks are casually de-stressing in whirlpools with temperatures from frigid to scalding.
