Chinese Massage: TUINA

 


Chinese Massage (Tuina) is a therapeutic treatment involving deeper manipulation than traditional Swedish Massage. It works on the energy channels (meridians) and acupressure points using the same principles as acupuncture and Shiatsu.

A wide variety of techniques are used in Chinese Massage. While applying a sequence of both hard or soft, faster and slower, general or precise manipulations, the practitioner is able to balance the Qi energy , blood, and internal organs.

Many health problems result from blockages of the Qi energy and congestion of internal organ function. These blockages cause a build-up of toxins, swelling of tissues and muscles, leading to pain and eventually ill-health. During treatment, the proper system functions are re-established and damaged tissues begin to recover.

This form of bodywork works holistically treating the mind through the body and vice-versa, leaving the client with a deep sense of physical and mental relaxation, revitalization, and well-being.

Chinese Massage is a recognized form of medical treatment for a wide range of health problems. Almost anyone will benefit from receiving Chinese Massage, but areas in which it has been found to be particularly effective include:

  • Pain (back pain, migraines, frozen shoulder, arthritis, repetitive strain and sports injuries
  • Stress (tiredness, anxiety, weakness, depression,insomnia, weak immune system
  • Digestion (constipation, diarrhea, indigestion)
  • Women’s problems (PMS, menopause)
