Get answers to common questions about Chi Nei Tsung-Massage of Internal Organs.

Chi Nei Tsung is an ancient Taoist form of visceral massage using gentle, precise abdominal and chest techniques to release fascial restrictions, clear stagnant chi around the navel, improve organ mobility, support detoxification, and promote systemic balance and self-healing.

Generally safe when performed by a trained practitioner, but not appropriate for certain conditions like recent abdominal surgery, pregnancy, active infection, uncontrolled blood clotting, severe cardiovascular disease, or abdominal hernias. A pre-session assessment and physician approval may be required for complex medical histories.

Sessions begin with a health intake and gentle breathing guidance. You'll lie comfortably while the therapist uses slow, focused abdominal and thoracic techniques. Expect sensations of warmth, shifting, and possible emotional release. Aftercare includes hydration, rest, and self-care exercises for continued benefits.
