Q: Can you tell me what is the difference between Eastern and Western massage?
A: Western massage works on the physical body encouraging lymphatic and blood flow, while eastern massage works on the flow of energy (Ki or Chi) throughout the body. Eastern massage usually works on the chakras (seven energy centres in the body) or the meridians (channels of energy flowing vertically through the body). A lot of massage treatments you will receive today encompass both eastern and western techniques.
