TUINA

If you’ve ever wanted a therapeutic massage that goes beyond relaxation and actively promotes healing, Tuina might be just what you need! Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Tuina (pronounced “twee-nah”) combines massage, acupressure, and other hands-on techniques to balance the body's energy and address specific health concerns.

Tuina works by targeting the body’s meridians and acupuncture points to promote the flow of qi (vital energy), improve circulation, and alleviate pain. Unlike a typical spa massage, Tuina is focused on restoring harmony to the body, making it ideal for treating musculoskeletal issues, chronic pain, and stress-related conditions.

The traditional technique involves kneading, pressing, rolling, tapping, and stretching the body. Practitioners use their hands, fingers, elbows, and sometimes even tools to apply pressure and stimulate healing. Tuina can also be combined with other TCM modalities like acupuncture or cupping for enhanced results.

Many people turn to Tuina for conditions such as neck and back pain, arthritis, headaches, and even digestive issues. It’s especially effective for injuries and chronic pain, as it helps release tension, improve mobility, and support the body’s natural healing processes.

While Tuina is generally safe, it’s an active therapy and may not be suitable for individuals with severe osteoporosis, open wounds, or certain skin conditions. Always consult with a trained TCM practitioner to ensure the treatment is tailored to your needs and health goals.
