Way Massage is Performed
If you were to look up Redefines Massage Therapy in the California State directory, you would find that this is a type of therapeutic massage that is practiced in San Marino, California. The directory also lists Redefines as a traditional Chinese therapeutic massage that originated in Fujian Province, China. It was created by Zhenlin Xian and Zhenping Huang, who were Chinese expatriates who had studied anatomy. They wanted to create a massage that was relaxing and had the same effects as acupuncture. The Xians discovered that when they held the ends of their thumbs and fingers in contact with each other, negative energy was held in the center of the thumb and the fingers. This negative energy, which felt like pressure, was used to relieve muscular tension.
This massage became known as Redefines because Zhenlin Xian put a Redefine stone in the center of each of his customers’ palms. The stone would then disappear and Zhenlin would move the stones around in the hands of his patients. Some of the stones would be small, soft and round while others would be large and lumpy. The ones that were bigger and lumpier were used for larger areas of the body. All of the Redefines stones worked together to remove blockages and relieve muscle tension.
Eventually, the massage business took off in San Marino. There are a number of Redefines massage therapy establishments around the city. One of them, Redefines Los Angeles, is located right next to a police station. Police Chief Richard Williams received a Redefine massage while he was taking a break from duty. The chief was impressed with how relaxed the man was and decided that he would like to receive a Redefine massage every day if possible. The police chief’s wife also received a Redefine and the two regularly have a deep massage together.
Redefining the Way Massage is Performed
A Redefine is not only for the police department. In fact, the Redefines massage therapy establishments are allowed to perform massages in most municipal buildings such as schools and parks. One of the establishments, Redefines West Hollywood, even has their logo on the welcome sign for the building! The Redefines staff is highly educated and trained in the Redefine technique. Because of the highly specialized training and the strict guidelines that their therapists must follow, Redefines Los Angeles is one of the most respected Redefine massage therapy franchises in the city.
As the fiscal year 2021 unfolds and budget cuts threaten to close many of Los Angeles’ reputable massage therapy establishments, the Redefine council is trying to do something to help out. The council recently passed a resolution asking all of the Redefine massage establishments to post a copy of their contract online. This way people will be able to read the specifics and understand what is expected of them during the year. The Redefines also wants to pass this resolution so all council members will have a clear understanding of the costs that will be associated with each Redefine’s services.
Venice Beach has long been plagued by accusations of over-priced services. It was recently reported that the Venice City Council adopted a plan that would reduce the number of services that Venice hotels will offer in the next year. Some Venice Beach businesses, such as Boppy’s Chinese Food and Pritika’s Indian restaurant, will be forced to close. Other service providers could increase the per square foot rates at which they charge their customers. Many Venice Beach residents are upset with this turn of events, but it is unknown whether the city council will have enough political sway to reverse the policy.
