Tui Na Massage

Tui Na massage is a form of therapeutic massage rooted in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

"Tui Na" loosely translates to "push and hold" or "press and knead" in Mandarin, reflecting the core techniques used in this practice.

This type of massage is designed to restore balance to the body's energy (Qi), improve circulation, and relieve muscle tension.

Tui Na massage is not just physical—it’s believed to address emotional and energetic imbalances. You might feel a sense of mental clarity or calmness after your session.

Key features of Tui Na massage:

• Acupressure: Stimulating specific points on the body (acupoints) that align with energy meridians, promoting the flow of Qi.
• Stretching and kneading: These techniques release tension in the muscles.
• Focus on health: Not only is the massage used for relaxation but also to address health issues like chronic pain, trauma, stress, or fatigue.

What to Expect

During: A mix of relaxation and a “good pain” as tight areas are worked on. Often described as a warming, tingling sensation in the areas being treated, linked to the release of Qi blockages.

After: Many patients report feeling lighter, more relaxed, and energised. Some mild soreness might occur, especially if areas of tension were deeply worked on.
