Tuina (Chinese Massage)

Tuina (pronounced “twee-nah”) is a form of Chinese therapeutic massage that has been used for thousands of years as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It combines massage techniques, acupressure, and joint mobilization to promote the free flow of Qi (vital energy) and blood throughout the body, helping to restore balance, relieve pain, and support overall health.

Unlike a relaxation massage, Tuina is focused on treating specific health concerns and musculoskeletal conditions. Your practitioner may use techniques such as kneading, rolling, pressing, and stretching to target affected areas and stimulate acupuncture points and meridians.

Tuina is commonly used to address:

• Neck, shoulder, and back pain

• Joint stiffness or injury

• Muscle tension and fatigue

• Headaches and migraines

• Digestive issues

• Stress and anxiety

Tuina can be used as a stand-alone therapy or integrated with acupuncture, cupping, and other TCM treatments to enhance healing and recovery. It is suitable for people of all ages and is especially effective for both chronic and acute musculoskeletal conditions.

This hands-on therapy supports the body’s natural healing abilities and promotes physical and energetic balance for long-term well-being.
