Tui Na is a therapeutic form of remedial massage and has been used in China for more than 2,000 years.

This Chinese therapy makes use of rhythmic compression techniques along different energy channels of the body to establish harmonious flow of Qi throughout the body and bringing it back to balance. It works deeply with the positive energy of the body. Tui Na makes use of various hand techniques in combination with acupuncture and other manipulation techniques.

To enhance the healing process, the practitioner may recommend the use of Chinese herbs. Many of the techniques used in this massage resemble that of a western massage like gliding, kneading, vibration, tapping, friction, pulling, rolling, pressing and shaking. The best part of the therapy is that it relaxes as well as energizes the person.

The main benefit of Tui Na massage is that it focuses on the specific problem, whether it is an acute or a chronic pain associated with the joints, muscles or a skeletal system. This technique is very beneficial in reducing the pain of neck, shoulders, hips, back, arms, highs, legs and ankle disorders.

The treatment itself may involve deep tissue work for short periods of time, but the results are definitely worth it!
