What is TUI NA MASSAGE?

Tui Na is a simple yet very effective division of Traditional Chinese Medicine which has been practised and used in China for thousands of years. It is one of the three components of traditional Chinese Medicine offered in virtually every hospital in China (the second and third being Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine).

Tui Na is a medical massage related to Acupuncture. Instead of needles, deep pressure is applied along the meridians (energy lines) in a variety of moves, using different parts of the fingers, palms and elbows. This releases blockages causing pain, and restores balance in the body. The unique rolling action harmonises and recharges the body’s internal energy.

“Tui Na is acupuncture WITHOUT the needles.”

It is performed on the clothed body and the person is either lying on a couch or sitting upright in a chair.

What is Tui Na good for?

Tui Na excels in the treatment of chronic pain associated with the musculo-skeletal system. Particularly neck, shoulder and back pain, sciatica, muscle spasms, tennis and golfer’s elbow, frozen shoulder, joint pain (including arthritis). It is unsurpassed in the treatment of sports injuries and will aid chronic conditions such as headaches, migraine, constipation, insomnia, tension and a restless mind.

Tui Na, as practised in China, treats conditions that in the West would require an osteopath, a chiropractor or a physiotherapist. It is more effective than any one of these individually, since it works not only on the muscles and joints, but also at a deeper level, affecting the flow of vital life-energy in the body. Tui Na can also be a preventative treatment correcting any imbalances in the body’s energy before symptoms and disease can develop. It also works to restore emotional and intellectual harmony as well as physical health.
