  • 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.

    @fireaza Před 6 lety +3

    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.
