Cathay massage therapy & acupuncture

"Cathay" is the name used by Europeans in the 16th century to refer to China, where the elaboration of traditional Chinese medicine is dated 1250 BC. In the West, Dr. Pehr Henrik Ling, elected in 1831 at the Swedish Medical Academy, is considered "father of Western massage therapy". With the aid of a Chinese massage therapist named "Ming", Dr. Ling sets up the "Swedish massage". Nowadays, the two main disciplines of traditional Chinese medicine, massage therapy and acupuncture are part of the university courses offered in about 30 medical universities in China. Cathay's mission is to carefully select regulated and insured practitioners, who come from the country of origin of massage therapy and acupuncture.
