This might be only for the brave at heart because a new form of massage that uses meat cleavers could be on its way to Canada!
An ancient (and visually terrifying) form of massage using meat cleavers is seeing a resurgence in Taiwan — and could be coming to Canada!
Known as daoliao, which translates literally to “knife massage,” the practice was originally practiced in Taiwan for over 2,000 years and is now getting a resurgence.
Essentially the cleavers pound stress points in your body using their sharp edges to soothe your energy and read your fortune. While daoliao looks scary, devotees swear by it and practitioners claim the knives have healing powers.
You can see video of someone getting the massage below!
