Shizi

Shizi, also known as the "Stone Doctor," is a traditional Chinese concept referring to a skilled practitioner who uses stone tools and techniques for healing and therapeutic purposes. Historically, it involves the use of polished stones, massage, and physical manipulation to promote health, balance, and well-being. Often rooted in ancient Chinese medicine and martial arts, Shizi emphasizes the importance of natural materials and manual skill to stimulate the body's energy flow, improve circulation, and restore harmony within the body. It reflects a holistic approach that combines physical therapy with traditional philosophical principles.
