Massaging With Knives

- In Taiwan, massage therapy gets an edge. Dao Liao, or “blade therapy,” has been around for over 2,500 years, first originating in ancient China as an alternative to traditional medicine. Practitioners use specially blunted knives instead of hands to refresh and renew their clientele. The technique is believed to relieve headaches, sores, back pains and migraines and continues to be very popular in Taiwanese culture.

This is crazy, but cool at the same time! Love the video😁😊
Assassin : okay i got the target lying on the bed all i need to do is grab this knif--
Guy : what are you doing
Assassin : uhh.. Massage?
Guy : with a knife?
Assassin : uhm.. Yeah?
In this case, a happy ending means going home alive. xD
What if someone they don’t like walks in?
Guy they don't walk out again
Chop chop
Guy they'll go home wondering where there leg and hand went
And the rest is history
Judge: How did you kill him?
Murderer: I was trying to give him a blade massage
Not sure I buy into this being effective medicinal treatment, but as a storyteller, this gives me all sorts of wonderful worldbuilding ideas.
I respect your tradition/culture and all but hell *NAH*
Steffie Swift where y from ?
there is nothing traditional about this...
nevermind, actually watched the video before commenting lol
Lol!
This is where the new jigsaw will take place.
That'll be a no from me
Justin Y. yeah same, your life is in their hands
Perfect opputunity for a sereal killer
Justin Y. Do you watch youtube all day?
YOUR EVERYWHERE WHAT
Same
Damn. How creative can these get man?
Wow this looks really cool. I love the dedication and respect they put towards their craft. Fire therapy next??
I want to try this so much!
of course people are gonna be afraid, the person can decide whether youre worthy to live or not
Interesting and different, would try it
Massaging with knifes
*sponsored by Gordon Ramsay*
Just kidding 😅
Thanks I love it
I would totally try this
Wow thats amazing. Didnt even know it existed
Try it man!!
Thanks! :)
That looks scary but for some reason I wanna try it 😂
Yayyy i can understand without subtitles
That’s crazy 🔥🔥
I’d still try it tbh
The thumbnail freaked me out more than it should have... It was probably cuz I didn't ready the title first lol
Wait did you just record this again
If you look closely, they're not using a slicing motion, they're pushing the knife straight. Anyone who has ever used a knife to chop up vegetables would know trying to push the knife straight though takes a lot more effort. This, combined with the towel and blunted knives means you not that likely to be cut.
I actually want to try it...
I want to try it
yall do wrist massages?
Taipei represent!
Mmm... I might consider massaging my husband now...
Welcome to Taiwan where knives can relax you!
Is this a reupload? I think I've seen it before
我现在要去. I could really use it
why do you have a picture of Frank and you typed in chinese
Don't ask questions
imma ask how many questions i want
He said, "I'm going now."
Yes pls
Oh WOW! That doesn’t look painful at all
This is cutting edge massage therapy.
0:23 "hey can you do this wiggle thing over our camera?"
I should try this
Oh, nope
It looks neat and must be really comforting since it's a thing. The only precaution is not to piss them off lol.
I saw this lady in the cup of tj video. Idk about this whole thi g but her personality seem fun
My kind of asmr 😀
I’m good thanks
I don’t believe aura, but that looks like it feels AMAZING
I'm afraid of knifes, but I have to admit... this is interesting
This probably started as a prank 2500 years ago on an ancient version of CZcams.
Can't they do the same with duller blades?
And what is the massage lady sneezes??
Hard core
Chara would enjoy this
🎶I could float here forever🎶
Wow
Oh fuck
One slip of the knife
Customer:omg I’m bleeding
I've been to the place. Besides the fact that I'm missing a leg and 2 fingers, and a toe, I feel like a different person after the treatment.
I’m good luv, enjoy!
Next level: Chainsaw treatment
In Taiwan you'll see this a lot in places
I want one
Why knives as opposed to some other tool?
Oh look my back made fruit punch yay!!☺
This is how that one night you can't remember ended.
They do diff kinds of massages like julienne, dice, brunoise and mince.
The knives must be dull...right?
This is the same doctor from CupOfTJ ❤️
oo i want
hello
I actually want to see how sharp they are. Maybe they are just dull...
Women u meet on Craigslist: that's goo get a message, it would been great
You:(in a coffin with that same f***in smile before u were politely amputated)
When you want a massage but you still wanna be a badass
guys chill, the knives are blunted. they may as well be wooden blocks. anyways, the knife isnt in direct contact with the skin. the video shows towels and clothes in between.
Why can’t you use the other side of the knife?
It was going well until i accidentally swinged too hard and now i have one relaxed leg and the other one missing.
Bon appetit 😂
Umm ok
When wrist slitting ain't cutting it.
Why not use the other side of the knife?
I want it
Lucas Baker: Think of this as a shiatsu massage, only it will be the LAST massage you'll ever get!!
It's hard keeping all my brain asmr
actually might feel good 😂😂
I guess you could say that they cut the tension with a knife
I would do it
*it is safe*
Hell no
Blunt knife they can't cut
What if they use a katana?
Ouch.
Well as long as the knives are blunted, sure.
leave it up to the people who first decided that sticking needles into people would also make them feel better :D :D :D gotta try this next time i'm back!
My brain say want.
But my body say don't.
Imagine what would happen if one of their clients who pissed them off in the past or recently just walked in.
If this was hitman,agent 47 would replace the knives with razor sharp ones to assassinate a target.
Yuri would like this
So uhhh, what *EXACTLY* was the conversation had for the first person to try this?
imagine a psychopatic employee going to do that to you
I've seen a Chinese guy do this on bare skin on, I think, Ripley's Believe or Not years ago.
很爽的样子
