Bojin Therapy in Singapore
Bojin therapy (拨筋疗法) is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that uses smooth tools to glide along meridians and muscle fascia, releasing blocked qi, easing tension, and restoring natural balance from face to body.
TCM Meridian Therapy
What is bojin therapy?
The short answer: bojin therapy is a gentle, hands-on TCM treatment that manipulates muscles, tendons and fascial tissue along the body’s meridian lines to restore the smooth flow of qi and blood.
The term 拨筋 (bō jīn) literally translates to “tending the sinews.” Rather than relying on needles, the therapist uses a polished tool — commonly jade, horn or ceramic — to press, glide and scrape across the skin. The motion follows the path of specific meridians, the same energy channels used in acupuncture. When qi becomes stagnant from stress, poor posture, screen fatigue, ageing or water retention, symptoms show up as tension headaches, puffy eyes, dull skin, jaw tightness or stiff shoulders. Bojin works by dispersing these blockages, encouraging micro-circulation, lymphatic drainage and fascial release.
At Aimin TCM Clinic, bojin is never a one-size-fits-all routine. Our physicians assess your constitution, lifestyle and concerns before selecting the meridian points and techniques that are right for you. The result is a deeply restorative experience that feels as calming as it is effective.

The Experience
What to expect during your bojin treatment
Most guests describe bojin as a “good hurt” — firm enough to release tension, yet rhythmic and relaxing. Here is what a typical session looks like at Aimin.
1
Consultation and pulse diagnosis
Your therapist reviews your health history, sleep patterns and daily habits. A quick pulse and tongue assessment helps identify the meridians that need the most attention.
2
Target area preparation
The skin is cleansed and a thin layer of herbal oil or balm is applied. The oil reduces friction and carries warming herbs that support circulation.
3
Bojin tool technique
Using a smooth jade, horn or ceramic tool, the therapist glides, presses and scrapes along the meridians. Pressure is adjusted to your comfort, and different edges of the tool target surface tissue or deeper fascia.
4
Herbal mask or warm compress
For facial or body sessions, a soothing herbal mask, warm compress or acupressure finish may be applied to calm the skin and seal in the benefits.
5
After-care guidance
Before you leave, your therapist explains what to expect over the next 24 hours and recommends a treatment plan based on your goals.
Safety precautions and contraindications
Bojin is generally safe when performed by a trained therapist, but it is not suitable for everyone. Please inform your therapist if any of the following apply to you.
When to avoid or postpone
- Open wounds, cuts, active acne or skin infections in the treatment area
- Severe eczema, psoriasis or sunburn on the area to be treated
- Pregnancy, especially during the first trimester or when abdominal points are involved
- Bleeding disorders or use of blood-thinning medication
- Recent surgery, fractures or implants near the treatment area
- Fever, acute infection, or cancer without medical clearance
After-care tips
- A little redness or light petechiae is normal and usually fades within 24–48 hours.
- Keep the treated area warm; avoid cold drinks and cold air blowing directly on the skin.
- Drink warm water after the session to support lymphatic drainage.
- Avoid heavy makeup or harsh skincare on the face for at least four hours.
- Wait 24 hours before intense exercise, sauna or swimming.
