What to Expect During Your First BES Massage

A complete guide for your BES Massage session to maximise the holistic benefits of this therapy.

GenQi BES Massage is a holistic therapy that targets the body’s energy pathways to promote balance and well-being. If you’re gearing up for your first massage therapy session, know that you’re in for a treat! In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to make the most of your experience.

Understanding Your Energy Pathways

Firstly, let’s talk about what exactly your energy pathways are. Energy pathways are channels through which vital energy flows in the body, according to traditional Chinese medicine.

When these pathways are blocked or imbalanced, it can lead to various physical and emotional ailments. BES Massage aims to unblock and balance these energy channels. The pathways are circulatory, carrying blood, nutrients, and energy all over the body. When they are unblocked by BES Massage, you can expect relaxation, stress relief, and overall health improvement.

Among the benefits of BES Massage are:

Aid in removal of toxins, and many more.

Preparation Before Your Massage

Before you step into the massage room, there are a few things you can do to prepare for your massage. First and foremost, wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows the therapist easy access to your body. This will ensure a more relaxing and effective massage experience.

Additionally, it’s a good idea to avoid heavy meals and alcohol before your appointment. Opt for light, nourishing foods and plenty of water to hydrate your body and enhance the benefits of the massage.

During Your Massage

As you settle onto the massage table, your therapist will begin by assessing your individual needs and concerns. They may ask you about any specific areas of tension or discomfort you’d like them to focus on during the session.

Feeling a little nervous before your massage? Don’t worry, it’s completely normal! Our team will make sure you feel relaxed and comfortable every step of the way. Just take a deep breath, unwind, and let us take care of the rest. We’re dedicated to providing you with a soothing experience that will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

During the massage, the electrodes will massage deep into your muscles with varying intensity, depending on your needs. The rhythmic movements stimulate the energy pathways and promote energy flow throughout your body. You may experience a deep sense of relaxation and well-being as tension melts away and your body’s natural healing mechanisms are activated.

While you’re getting treated, you also might feel a bit of soreness, numbness, swelling, pain and itching.

Acidity suggests that the energy pathways are clear, but there’s not enough energy and blood flowing through.

If you feel numbness, it could mean there’s not enough blood or the pathways are blocked.

When you’re bloated, it might mean your energy flow is stuck, and your pathways are blocked.

Aftercare Tips

After your BES Massage session, it’s important to take some time to rest and relax. Drink plenty of water to rehydrate your body and help flush out any toxins released during the massage.

It’s important to wait for 6 hours before showering after the treatment, and avoid strenuous exercise.

As the day or evening progresses, you might notice a sensation of heaviness or tiredness. This could indicate that your body is working to flush out toxins by boosting lymph flow.

Remember that after your massage session, it’s essential to treat your body kindly to maximise the benefits. Avoiding caffeine, alcohol, cigarettes, and heavy foods can greatly aid in your body’s recovery process. Instead, opt for hydrating drinks like herbal tea or water, indulge in nourishing foods rich in nutrients, and take some time to rest and relax. Your body will thank you for it, and you’ll prolong that post-massage bliss. Remember, self-care is key to feeling rejuvenated and revitalised!

Precautions

While BES Massage is generally safe for most people, there are a few precautions to keep in mind before your session. If you have any underlying health conditions or concerns, it’s always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider before trying any new form of therapy.

If any of the following apply to you, it’s best to avoid the massage:

If you're dealing with malignant tumours, benign brain tumours, or hemangiomas.
If you've experienced a cerebral haemorrhage or cerebral infarction.
If you have severe heart issues, a pacemaker or stent, or if you've had coronary artery bypass surgery.
If you're dealing with serious internal diseases.
If you tend to bleed easily.
If you have tuberculosis, mental illness, or epilepsy.
If you have any skin conditions.
If you often feel very tired, have low physical strength, or are prone to allergies.
If you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

Practice precaution if you have a high blood pressure reading (140 or higher), are menstruating, and/or feeling extreme hunger, just overate, or have had alcohol.
