Daoyin and massage have a long combined history as therapeutic massage is considered one of the yangsheng practices. During the Sui dynasty (581-618) Emperor Yangdi employed numerous daoyin practitioners—who were also massage teachers—at the imperial court, with the objective of establishing daoyin as a major component of state medicine. And during the following Tang dynasty (618-907), daoyin continued to be an official part of the Imperial Court Medicine and was generally in the hands of the massage specialist. Daoyin Scotland has continued to uphold this tradition. Although musculoskeletal problems can be dealt with, all treatments begin with fuzang anmo, internal organ massage, to relieve internal stresses and strains. These internal issues can also result from musculoskeletal problems. Currently, treatments are limited to just one Sunday a month in Stonehaven and in Inverness every Tuesday.
