    Is that another name for physical therapy?

    Back in my old city, which has a large Chinese population, I went to a physical therapist a few times for a hurt back. The staff didn’t really speak English, but it was covered by workers compensation so I gave it a go. Those people were absolute magicians, I tell ya. I’m not exactly sure what they were doing, as I was almost always laying face down, but I’m pretty sure it involved needles, and they definitely did some electroshock therapy, but boy did it work great. I just let them do their thing, and it really seemed to help along the healing process.

      Massotherapy is like deep tissue massage and stuff. If I understand correctly it’s basically just really advanced actually medical based massage that people get licensed for. I’m just going off of memory though you might get better mileage out of actually looking it up.
