Tuina - What is it?

 

Tuina is an ancient massage therapy that has been used in China for over 2,000 years. This therapy improves the smooth flow of Qi through the meridian system that flows through our body. When Qi is blocked, pain is felt.
 
Techniques used in Tuina include: kneading, rolling, grasping and acupressure. These movements directly affect the flow of Qi. The result: decreased pain and tension. A feeling of calm and relaxation is then achieved.
 
As in shiatsu, loose clothing is worn and no oils are used. Tuina is a great compliment to shiatsu and acupuncture. It can be easily added to any treatment.
 
Tuina can treat: frozen shoulder, headaches, constipation, pain of the neck and low back, arthritis and insomnia.
