Tui Na

Tui Na is one of the oldest forms of massage therapy in the world and a key branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Unlike a standard relaxation massage, Tui Na is a therapeutic treatment that combines rhythmic massage, acupressure, and stretching techniques to restore the healthy flow of Qi, or vital energy, throughout the body. Practitioners use their hands, fingers, elbows, and even forearms to apply pressure to specific acupoints and energy channels, helping to release blockages, ease muscular tension, and improve circulation. This makes Tui Na highly effective for a wide range of conditions, including back and neck pain, joint stiffness, headaches, fatigue, stress, and digestive issues.

The strength of Tui Na lies in its holistic approach. Rather than focusing only on the site of discomfort, it considers the whole body, addressing both the symptoms and the underlying imbalances that cause them. Treatments can be tailored to either invigorate and energise or calm and relax, depending on the individual’s needs. While it is therapeutic in nature, many people also find Tui Na deeply relaxing, as it helps to release stored tension, improve flexibility, and promote an overall sense of wellbeing.

With a history spanning thousands of years, Tui Na remains a trusted and effective therapy for maintaining health and harmony. It bridges the gap between massage and medical treatment, making it suitable not only for those seeking relief from pain or injury but also for anyone wishing to maintain balance, prevent illness, and support long-term vitality.
