Was ist eine Akupunkturmassage genau?
What exactly is an acupuncture massage?
Acupuncture massage, which was developed by the German bath attendant and masseur Wilhelm Penzel on the basis of Far Eastern healing methods, has been used in the Western world since the 1950s and 1960s. It is still taught and used today as APM, acupuncture massage according to Penzel. This method was further developed in later years by Klaus Radloff, who also developed the ear reflex zone control, ORK for short. Radloff's acupoint massage is also known as energetic-static treatment, ESB/APM, and, like Penzel's method, is based on a holistic view of the human being within yin and yang. Qi, the basis of all life, is created by the opposing forces of Yin and Yan, which alternate and complement each other. This life energy flows through the body as meridians, the energy pathways, as long as yin and yang are in harmony. As soon as these are out of balance, the flow of energy, the Qi, is disrupted and blockages occur, which can lead to illnesses and deficiency symptoms if prolonged. These blockages within the meridians can be treated with a targeted acupuncture massage, resulting in an undisturbed flow of vital energy.
