The Chinese word 按摩 (ànmó) for "massage" is composed of two characters: 按 (àn), meaning "to press" or "to massage", and 摩 (mó), meaning "to rub" or "to stroke". The term 按摩 has been used in Chinese medicine for centuries to describe a variety of massage techniques used to promote relaxation, relieve pain, and improve circulation. In modern Chinese, 按摩 is commonly used to refer to any type of massage, including Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, and acupressure.
