What is Dao Liao (Knife Massage Therapy)?


Dao Liao, or Knife Massage Therapy, has a 2500 year history, originating in China.  In the past, monks in temples utilized it as natural therapy to cure illnesses.  Currently, it is only practiced in Taiwan by practitioners in the World Public Welfare Association, a public service organization based in Taipei, Taiwan.

Dao Liao’s primary function is to provide a qi (life force energy) exchange.  As such, it is a form of Qigong and uses a light force.  Beneficial effects of this qi exchange and energy field transformation are numerous:  Relaxation of body and mind; increased circulation and lymphatic function; relief of bodily aches and pains; cellular rejuvenation; balance of the body’s internal heat and cold state; improved quality of sleep; reduction of body fat and water retention; clear and open energy channels and pressure points.  Dao Liao can also address problems such as hypertension, cardiovascular problems, stress, insomnia and immunity deficiencies, among others.

Dao Liao practitioners follow a daily practice of meditation, exercise, qi gong and vegetarianism.  This allows the body and spirit to be a clean and empty conduit for the qi from the Universe to enter and exit. 

Dao Liao is different from a regular massage in that its effects are deeper and more holistic.  Whereas a regular massage focuses on specific areas of the physical body, Dao Liao addresses the whole system’s physical and energy field balance. 

Initially, most people are afraid of the knives when they first see them.  However, the knives used are dull and feel very comfortable when used on the muscles and nerve points. 

There have been many cases where clients with untreatable or undiagnosable illnesses were cured by the Dao Liao therapy.  Many success stories have led to Dao Liao to be considered a miracle therapy.
