Hi!

I have never Heard of it in south América, Canada, USA...really never seen this anywhere in the world except as in Asia.

I dont think this kind of message is allowed in many places, as it could bring risks to clients, the Clinic and the workers. What if someone Goes out of their mind and decides to hurt someone?

Plus other countries might not find it beneficial thustnot allowing it. Even "massage parlours" have strict regulations as many hide "sexual massages" instead of normal ones.

What? I am not very willing to be tenderized by a knife, no way. But yes, I watched a documentary about this and it has been a practice not even in Taiwan but in China and Japan too, although on the latter, the practice was discontinued. It is called the Daoliao. There are people who are doing the practice and for 10 minutes you will be tenderize by the blunt edges of the knife. It said to remove the bad energy of the body because of the steel knives. Some of the reviews are from the people who bravely tried to be tenderized. They said that it improves the circulation of the blood. I have to agree because they are chopping fakely using the knife. But before you cringe, the victim or the person is covered by a thick sheet so you can just feel something is pushing you, not slicing you.

A sort of radiation therapy called gamma knife radiosurgery is used to treat brain tumors, vascular malformations, and other abnormalities. Because there is no incision. I am not sure if it is available in Thailand.

Knife therapy, also known as Ba Guan, is an ancient Chinese healing art that uses knives to stimulate acupuncture points and massage muscles. It is believed to improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain and stiffness. Knife massage is a relaxing, therapeutic massage that is typically performed with a stainless steel knife.

Knife massage is not commonly practiced outside of Taiwan. However, there are a few practitioners who offer knife massage in other countries, such as the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.

 Knife therapy is a form of massage that uses a knife sharpener or knife. It is said to be an alternative to other massage techniques, because it does not require a therapist standing next to you the whole time.

Knife Therapy, also known as Dao Liao, is a traditional Chinese therapy that involves using a special knife to scrape or rub the skin in a particular pattern. The practitioner uses a blunt-edged tool, often made of jade or other smooth stones, to apply pressure and friction to the skin.

The theory behind knife therapy is that it helps to remove stagnant energy, known as chi or qi, from the body's meridians. By removing this blockage, the body can better circulate blood and energy, which can promote healing and overall well-being.

While knife therapy is traditionally practiced in Taiwan, it has gained popularity in other countries as well, particularly in Asia. However, it's important to note that some experts caution against the use of knife therapy, as it can potentially cause skin irritation, infection, or other adverse effects if not performed correctly.

Knife massage, on the other hand, is a different technique that involves using a sharp-edged knife to perform a massage on the skin. This technique is not commonly practiced outside of Taiwan and is generally not recommended due to the risk of injury. It's important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional before trying any new therapy or treatment.

Knife Therapy, also known as Dao Liao or Daoist Knife Massage, is a traditional Chinese therapy where a blunt-edged knife or scraper is used to gently scrape the skin. It is believed to promote blood circulation, remove toxins, and alleviate muscle tension. 

While Knife Therapy originated in Taiwan and is most commonly practiced there, it has gained some popularity in other countries as well, particularly in regions with a significant Chinese cultural influence. However, it is not as widely known or practiced as more mainstream massage techniques such as Swedish massage or deep tissue massage.

The goal of knife treatment, a traditional Chinese therapy, is to enhance blood circulation and relieve tension by gently scraping the skin with blunt-edged knives. Knife massage is used in other nations as well, though perhaps not to the same extent as in Taiwan, where it is more prevalent.
