China

I removed the entirely unsourced section on China and rewrote it. The RS I could conveniently find on the subject were a bit dry and industry related and also put a heavy focus on links with the sex trade. I welcome the addition of some information on the underlying traditions. If anyone could suggest some sources for this it would be appreciated. Online searches mostly link to commercial sites, which I’m reluctant to use. One source I would like is one that states that Chinese massage parlors often offer Chinese traditional medical treatments such as cupping. Edaham (talk) 23:01, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Citation #25 is out of date; Alaska was forced to license in 2015 https://careertrend.com/list-6537675-states-not-require-massage-license.html As of 2014 there were 6, Kansas, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Vermont and Wyoming plus Alaska, but since then Alaska has required licensing.

Citation #57 Reflexology is a pseudoscience isn't true. By stimulation of nerves in hand/foot other non-direct location it has an effect on the connected nerve bundle along the way. TENS Units have their electrode pads placed on such positions to help with chronic or acute issues. Example: zapping a nerve near the achilles heel & ankle to help with incontances. I understand that it is difficult for some to believe stimulating the nerves between thumb and index finger can run up the arm & where it connects into the spine, have an effect that goes along the neck into the dental area alleviating pain; or massaging a location in the wrist/forearm area can result in less nausea or vomiting then ginger or medications; but repeatedly it has been found not just in traditional USA medical practice to be valid, but world round. The sights below all believe that reflexology is real, based on scientific facts, are an ancient form of healing, and help a person's overall wellness. There are more, but I thought I'd start with the basics to cover my point. https://www.webmd.com/balance/qa/what-is-reflexology-massage https://www.massageenvy.com/massage/massage-types/reflexology-massage/ https colon slash slash www dot Very Well Health dot com slash reflexology-what-you-need-to-know-89995 https://www.spafinder.com/blog/health-and-well-being/reflexology-101-treatment-benefits/ https://www.angieslist.com/articles/what-difference-between-reflexology-and-massage.htm

It has been in recent years we've seen how weather (SADS), magnetic forces (both from the earth itself and wearing a loadstone), certain metals(copper & nickel), and other forces of nature (like hemp or certain mushrooms have medicinal properties, while hemlock hurts most a tolerance can be built to it, & poison oak/ivy/sumac aren't pleasant for most people) can affect, effect, defect, and improve health in a person that were previously thought to be pseudoscience or "magic". The art of healing will always be changing, hopefully for the better & most natural. Unicornsmom (talk) 05:50, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Please see WP:MEDRS, the much stricter guideline for sources related to medical topics. None of these websites meet even normal reliable source criteria much less MEDRS, with the exception perhaps of webmd, which quite telling uses the terms "believed" and "expected" on the linked page.

Hi contributor,

I read your article and found lots of information about the massage. Its a very helpful to the users but when I was clicked on the reference 65 and open the reference page URL but that page was not relevant. I have a better fit for that reference hope you will read that and will add this as reference page. Current Reference URL. "Swedish Massage". Massagereister.com. Archived from the original on 4 September 2012. Retrieved 18 October 2013.

Medical and therapeutic use: non-relevant subsections -- suggest removal

This section currently includes three subsections that do not relate to the section itself. They are filler and should be removed. They might even suggest a need for 'non-therapeutic' or 'other' section.

Practitioner associations and official recognition of professionals is not related to the section and, furthermore, the content isn't even relevant to the subsection heading itself.

Associated methods lists various methods but there is no association to medical/therapeutic use.

Massage and proprioception is about a) how massage and proprioception are not associated and b) the association has been studied very little and c) increasing proprioception has not even been shown to be therapeutic. Arbalest Mike (talk) 18:36, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
