Career Profile: Gong Qi
See Available Gong Qi Schools
Job Description:
Gong Qi Massage uses the same basic principles
and beliefs of Chinese acupuncture and acupressure.
The Chinese believe that throughout the human body there
are specific points along a network of channels, which
are called meridians. These channels direct the flow
of “Qi,” which is the body’s source
of vital energy. If the Qi is flowing in order, the
body will function perfectly. However, if the Qi is
blocked at a specific point, the body will cease to
function normally, and that is when the malady occurs.
Practitioners of Gong Qi massage use their finger pressure
along these points in order to stimulate the body and
rebalance the energy of the body, mind, and spirit.
Gong Qi practitioners work in spas, clinics,
offices, and private practices, as well as make in-home
visits to clients. They usually work a regular week,
but may offer evening and weekend hours in order to
better serve their clients. Their salaries vary according
to location, capacity in which they are employed, and
their client base. The growth outlook for this career
is as good as that of any other career in massage therapy,
which continues to increase as more people look for
natural ways to relieve stress and treat chronic pain.
Classes in Gong Qi are often given in
massage therapy courses, but are also offered as the
sole curriculum in some areas. Gong Qi practitioners
often incorporate this practice into their current massage
practice, offering it along with other forms of massage
therapy. All Gong Qi practitioners must adhere to the
massage certification and licensing laws of their state.
For more information, see acupuncturist
(for description of Qi and how it is stimulated) and
massage therapist (for information on schooling, licensing,
and ceritfication).
