In Singapore, more people are turning to traditional wellness methods for natural healing — and TCM Bojin (拨筋) has quickly become one of the most sought-after therapies. Often compared to gua sha, Bojin goes deeper, working on fascia, meridians and acupoints to release stagnation and restore the body’s natural balance.
Whether you’ve seen it trending on social media or heard friends raving about its results, Bojin is more than just a massage — it’s a powerful TCM healing technique that improves pain, tension, swelling, poor circulation, bloating, stress, and even skin health.

TCM Bojin is a Traditional Chinese Medicine therapy that uses a smooth ceramic tool to stimulate meridian pathways, release muscle tension, improve circulation, and restore qi flow throughout the body.
Bojin focuses on meridian activation and muscle release, while Gua Sha focuses on surface detoxification and blood circulation. Bojin works deeper and is more therapeutic, whereas Gua Sha is gentler and more detox-focused.
TCM Bojin should feel firm but comfortable. Some areas may feel tender due to qi blockage, but it should never be painful. Pressure is adjusted based on individual tolerance.
Bojin is effective for muscle stiffness, fatigue, poor circulation, water retention, bloating, stress, insomnia, headaches, and body aches. It also supports overall wellness and immunity.
Body Meridian Bojin is a full-body treatment that targets the body’s meridian channels to improve qi flow, lymphatic drainage, and muscle relaxation. Common areas include legs, arms, back, shoulders, and stomach.
Leg Bojin helps reduce swelling, water retention, leg fatigue, cramps, poor circulation, and heaviness. It is especially beneficial for people who stand or walk for long hours.
Stomach Bojin supports digestion, reduces bloating, improves metabolism, and helps with constipation or sluggish digestion by stimulating abdominal meridians.
For general wellness, Bojin can be done once every 2–4 weeks. For chronic issues or detoxification, weekly sessions may be recommended initially.
Bojin is suitable for most people, including those with stress, muscle tension, or poor circulation. However, it may not be recommended for pregnant women or people with severe skin infections without consultation.
Bojin massage focuses on TCM meridians and internal balance, not just muscle relaxation. It provides deeper therapeutic benefits and longer-lasting results compared to regular massage.
