Tuina — Harmony of Body & Mind

Chinese Medical Massage, also known as Acupressure massage — a hands-on healing art practiced for thousands of years.

What is Tuina?

The ancient healing art of fingers and strength

Tui Na (pronounced "twee nah"), also called Chinese Medical Massage or Acupressure Massage, is one method of Chinese Medicine used in China for thousands of years. Based on Chinese Medicine theory, it's used for soft-tissue conditions, internal conditions, and relaxation.

Tui Na has no adverse side effects and can improve your condition in comfort, with only slight tenderness. In modern China, it remains a standard method of treatment in Chinese Medicine hospitals.

Soft Tissue & Pain Relief

Improved circulation, reduced pain

Similar to Western therapeutic massage, Tui Na also targets the meridians and meridian points to improve Chi (vital energy) and blood circulation — increasing range of motion and supporting nerve regulation.

  • Chronic and acute arthritis & joint pain
  • Sports injuries and fibromyalgia
  • Lower back, neck and shoulder discomfort
  • Headaches
Internal Health

Supporting the body from within

Tui Na also helps restore organ function and digestive regularity, and treats women's menopausal symptoms such as night sweats, hot flashes, anxiety and sleep disorders.

“Treat when you are not sick.”
— Ancient Chinese doctor
What To Expect

Your Tuina session

  • An assessment through a Chinese medical exam — pulse, tongue, and a few questions about your condition.
  • Performed seated in a chair or lying on a massage table, often combined with acupuncture for maximum effect.
  • Can be done over loose clothing or on bare skin; therapeutic oils are sometimes used.
  • No adverse side effects, though some feel sleepy or notice increased bathroom frequency afterward.
Relaxation

Harmony Body & Mind

Chinese Medicine is preventative medicine — treating before illness by keeping the body's energy in balance. Tui Na stimulates circulation through the muscles, meridians and acupuncture points to harmonize body, emotion and spirit, in comfort and without side effects.
