TuiNa (Massage)
 |
Tui Na (pronounced twee-nah)
is a non-invasive alternative massage technique that relies on the
stimulation of acupoints (meridian points). This traditional Chinese
massage employs over a dozen different techniques such as stroking,
kneading, rubbing, pressing, knocking, and vibrating, creating a technique
that is similar |
in practice to Shiatsu and acupressure massage. Due to its non-invasive
nature, Tui Na is often used as an alternative to acupuncture.
Finding its roots in TCM theories, including the use of channels and
points, Tui Na is excellent for both tonifying (strengthening the body's
immune system) as well as eliminating pathogenic factors. Tui Na is highly
tuned for the treatment of specific musculoskeletal disorders and chronic
stress-related disorders of the digestive, respiratory and reproductive
systems.
Due to the nature of Tui Na, it is not suggested for those seeking a
relaxing, mild or sedating massage as it tends to be focused on a specific
area of Qi stimulation, not supplying the generalized approach of other
common massage styles.
Sessions generally last from 30 minutes to 1 hour however, depending
on your specific needs. The physician may suggest additional treatments.
