With or without consciousness, pressure and tightness are built up in our body from time to time. It is always nice and crucial to pamper yourself well and lessen your stress regularly.

Here in China there are several massage services and relaxation therapies that you can do to calm your chaos and help soften your tight and stiff muscles.

Blind-practitioner massage is prevalent in China, in particular in northern places. Nearly in every corn of the street there is always a blind-people massage parlor in northern places of the country. 

The protruding advertisement billboards with Chinese Characters “blind people massage” are not difficult to be noticed if you can recognize Chinese. 

Same as many other kind of massage parlors, the type of massage places provide top-to-toe massage services, including full-body massage, foot massage, neck and shoulder massage and back massage sessions. 

The evident difference between a regular massage place and this kind is that the practitioners are sightless masseurs. It is claimed their massage skills are better due to that their sense of hand touching is more acute.

无论是在意识还是无意识的情况下，我们的身体总时不时会积累了不少压力，身体肌肉变得僵硬紧绷。适时让自己减减压，宠爱自己，是极其有益且重要的。在中国，有几样放松休闲活动，可以帮助你平复焦躁的内心，释放压力，改善肌肉僵硬紧绷问题。

在中国，特别是在北方，盲人按摩店比比皆是。几乎每条街都不难找到一家盲人按摩店。那些引人注目的广告或店家牌，用汉字写着“盲人按摩”，一下子就可以引入眼帘。但前提是，如果你认得汉字。

与其他按摩无异，盲人按摩店提供全身按摩、颈椎和肩膀按摩、背部按摩和脚底按摩。这类按摩店唯一不同的是，如店名所指，按摩师傅是盲人。据说视力有障碍人士的其他感官格外敏感，触觉是其一，盲人按摩手法更好。

Another Chinese style relaxation is Tuina. It is also a kind of massage.
