Chinese Therapeutic Massage (Tuina)
Chinese Therapeutic massage, also known as Tuina, is a traditional form of bodywork rooted in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), that involves a combination of rhythmic compression techniques along different energy channels (meridians) in the body, as well as various manipulations of muscles and joints.
Tuina translates to "push and grasp" in Chinese. This ancient technique involves:
Kneading: Circular movements applied to muscles and tissues.
Rolling: Rolling hands or fingers over specific areas to enhance circulation.
Pressing: Applying pressure to acupressure points to relieve pain and tension.
Rubbing: Frictional movements to generate heat and stimulate blood flow.
Tapping: Light, repetitive tapping to relax muscles and invigorate the body.
Grasping: Pinching and pulling techniques to release tension and improve energy flow.
Pushing: Long, gliding strokes to stretch muscles and align the body.
*Your Tuina treatment will also involve other Chinese Medicine modalities such as Cupping and Guasha (scrapping), however it will not involve acupuncture, unless payed for separately.
