 Thanks Dr. Nelson Elias:

The expression "chirapsia massage" is from a Chinese study and, perhaps, it is different of Chiropraxia. By the definition that you cited, it seems similar to the tradition occidental massage ("a friction caused by rubbing skin with the hand").

But I am still uncertain about it.

everything I find about it refers to friction which is a failry standard massage technique.

Thanks Sh:

I think that it is really like a traditional occidental massage.

The following is from a PhD friend who teaches various forms of bodywork internationally including in Asia: "Chirapsia is simply a term meaning "hand massage"or massage delivered with the hands, as comnpared to the elbow or feet.,  Few people use the term  and  most massage therapist do not know what it means. "

Thank you very much Dear Sh Haber. I thing it clarified our question.
