Tuina Chinese massage

What is Tuina?
Tuina (pronounced "twee-nah") is a therapeutic form of Chinese massage that has been a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years. The name "Tuina" comes from the Chinese words “tui” (to push) and “na” (to grasp), which describe the primary techniques used. This dynamic, hands-on therapy works to improve circulation, relieve pain, and restore balance.

How Does Tuina Work?
Rooted in the principles of TCM, Tuina combines massage techniques such as pressing, kneading, rolling, and stretching to target specific points and areas of the body. By stimulating these points and pathways, Tuina helps promote overall well-being and address both acute and chronic conditions.

How is Tuina Incorporated into Treatments?
In my practice, I integrate Tuina with acupuncture or use it as a standalone therapy depending on your needs. For children, Tuina provides a gentle and non-invasive approach, perfect for building trust and delivering effective care. For adults, I use techniques tailored to address specific concerns, from musculoskeletal pain to stress relief.

What Conditions Can Tuina Help With?
Tuina is incredibly versatile and may help address a wide range of health concerns, including:

• Musculoskeletal Issues: lower back pain, neck and shoulder tension, joint stiffness, and muscle discomfort.

• Digestive Health: Stimulates key points to support digestion and alleviate discomfort.

• Stress and Emotional Well-Being: Promotes relaxation and mental clarity, reducing stress and anxiety.

• Paediatric Care: Offers gentle solutions for children experiencing digestive issues, colds, coughs, and general discomfort.

Whether you’re seeking relief from physical tension or looking to restore harmony in your body, Tuina provides a holistic and effective pathway to healing.
