Tui Na

Tui Na (which literally means push and grab) incorporates the Traditional Chinese Medicine theory that injury or disease causes blockages in the channels of the body. Blockages cause pain.

​

Tui Na, (pronounced “twee na”) is a deep tissue Chinese massage, and is a fundamental part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), along with acupuncture, acupressure and so on.

 

Like Western massage, it works the muscles helping them to relax, removing stagnation and allowing the blood to flow more freely throughout the area, giving the muscle the optimum chance to repair. It also works with restoring the balance of Chi. Tui Na touches on certain acupressure points in the body’s meridian system to stimulate the body’s own healing process. Chi, or Qi, is universal life force energy, which all living forms have. When one’s Chi is strong, well-balanced and flowing freely throughout the body, the individual is healthy and free from illnesses and diseases.

 

There is no need to remove any clothing (only coats, shoes and jewellery). I will cover you with a cotton sheet that facilitates the techniques used. After the treatment, I may offer advice on exercise and stretching, diet and lifestyle. Please wear loose clothing (no jeans!) for this treatment.
