Chi Nei Tsang; Taoist abdominal massage designed to provide deep healing by working directly on internal restrictions and energy blocks. Literally meaning, “internal organ chi transformation” or “changing the energy in the viscera”, Chi Nei Tsang promotes physical, mental and emotional well being.
The historical roots of CNT are lost in the mist of time, however this treatment is now found on the menu of many leading spas around the world. Science has now caught up to how gut health affects overall health.
Chi Nei Tsang works mainly on the abdomen, training the organs to work more efficiently. Treatments affect all the vital systems of the body; digestive, respiratory, lymphatic, nervous, endocrine, urinary, reproductive, fascial and muscular.
Chi Nei Tsang treatments can assist the body to detoxify and relieves the body of excess stagnation. Treatments also improve elimination and stimulate the lymphatic and circulatory system. This strengthens the immune system and resistance to diseases.
Chi Nei Tsang helps to restructure and strengthen the body by working on the fascia and viscera, which allows more freedom of movement for internal organs. This stimulates the organs to work better and helps to correct postural problems resulting from visceral imbalances, releasing deep seated tensions restores vitality.
About this series of classes

Each course will present the history and fundamental principles of Chi Nei Tsang, cover beginning anatomy and physiology of the internal organs from and Eastern and a Western perspective. Each class will feature one organ system and it's treatment techniques.
At the end of these classes students will be able to offer a simple CNT treatment which addresses the specific organ system and benefits all ages, including children. Students will also learn a self care treatment. This is a good review for students who have taken CNT classes with Caryn in the past.
