Qi Massage, Buford

“What is qi (“chee”), anyhow?” That’s a question a lot of folks in the West probably have when they walk into a place like Qi Massage. According to traditional Chinese medicine, qi is, quite simply, the body’s life force, which flows through it to give energy and vitality to every limb, organ, and tissue. But when that flow is impeded in any way, the body’s qi doesn’t move properly and bad stuff starts to happen: systems can get out of whack, pain can spike, and sickness can set in.

That’s where the therapists at Qi Massage come in. They loosen up those energy blockages using long, flowing strokes that help to increase the flow of qi to promote healing and overall wellness. They don’t subscribe to a one-size-fits-all approach, though. Beyond traditional Chinese massage they offer a host of modalities, that range from deep-tissue to shiatsu. And if clients want to up the flow of their qi even more, there’s detoxifying body wraps that rope in organic ingredients.
