Tuina
Holistic Healing Through Ancient Wisdom
Tuina is a therapeutic form of Chinese medical massage that combines acupressure, joint mobilization, and meridian therapy to promote circulation, relieve muscle tension, and restore balance in the body. Unlike relaxation massage, Tui Na focuses on correcting musculoskeletal imbalances and improving Qi (energy) flow for both pain relief and internal wellness.
Key Techniques Used in Tui Na
Kneading & Rolling
Therapist uses palms, thumbs, and forearms in rhythmic motions to loosen tight muscles and break down knots. Effective for back, neck, and shoulder tension.
Stretching & Rotation
Gentle joint manipulations and traction to improve flexibility and mobility. Often used for stiff shoulders, hips, and spine.
Acupressure
Focused finger pressure on specific meridian points to stimulate energy flow. Helps relieve pain and improve body function.
Tapping & Percussion
Light, rhythmic strikes with fingertips or cupped hands to boost circulation and release tension. Commonly applied to the back and limbs.
