Taiwan is as famous for massages as it is for its delicious food. But did you know that there is a massage style that uses knives? Hsiao Mei Fang, the owner of Ancient Art of Knife Massage Dao Liao, located in Taipei, Taiwan, has been performing massages with knives for 13 years. This ancient and unique style of massage originates thousands of years ago in China. First she uses a stick to loosen up the blood vessels and improve the circulation of the client, then she moves on to a massage using knives. In the midst of the massage the masseuse makes something like a burping sound, which they explain is them spitting out the bad energy they draw from the client. The cost depends on the time and masseuse, but you can get an hour starting from 1,200 Taiwan dollars. After getting our footage and doing the interview our team got massages, and the knives were much heavier than we imagined, so that the impact of each blow could be felt throughout our bodies. Our fear of the knives melted away quickly and we even found ourselves drifting off to sleep to the pleasant rhythm of the knives. (April 16th, 2017.) Produced by 28Lab / E.x.N K.K.

BIZARRE KNIFE MASSAGES ARE A HIT WITH HARDCORE SPA-GOERS Bizarre new health craze sees patients hit with razor sharp knives and meat cleavers The hardcore spa goers say the rhythmic motion of the blades which are whacked all over the body and face are extremely relaxing A strange health craze where spa goers get hit in the face and body with knives is becoming popular as people seek new ways to feel relaxed. Sharpened cleavers are pressed in rhythmic motions with nothing but a thin piece of material between the patient and the blade. Hsiao Mei Fang, the owner of Ancient Art of Knife Therapy Education Centre, in Taipei, Taiwan, has been performing the strange procedure for more than 13 years. But says people are now seeking out the treatment, which starts from around £30. Ms Fang said: "The treatment is originally from China and is 2500 years old. "But here we have created an original and new knife therapy. "Everything has a Yin and a Yang, so instead of using one knife we use two - this represents the Yin and Yang. "The massage changes the energy inside the person and makes them more relaxed. "The knife is specially made so it's very safe. We wouldn't use a kitchen knife to do this." She added: "A lot of people think it's just for fun but people don't realise this will change their lives. After they have experienced it they tell their friends and they all come to us." After sharpening her tools Hsiao uses a stick to loosen up the blood vessels and improve the circulation of the client before moving onto the massage itself. And just when you thought things couldn't get any stranger, in the midst of the massage the masseuse makes a burping sound, which is apparently them spitting out the bad energy they draw from the client.
