The most significant difference between Tuina massage (pronounced twee-nah) and typical massage is that it focuses on the individual's foundation and can also treat mental and emotional aspects, including musculoskeletal conditions. Tuina allows for the experience of acupuncture without having to use needles.
You should have our initial acupuncture treatment to ensure your practitioner fully understands your needs. This way, you're paying for time on the table and then time for your practitioner to ask focus-related questions.
The Tuina Ethos
Medical massage may reduce pain, increase circulation and mobility, harmonize the gut and internal organs, balance the body, and facilitate homeostasis.
The Tuina Process
Instead of using acupuncture needles, tuina uses different massage techniques to treat the affected area. While tuina is very effective on its own, it can provide additional benefits when used in conjunction with acupuncture and cupping treatments.
The treatment of Yang: Yang-based techniques focus on various knots or tension held within the muscles so that they can be released. What this does is increase circulation, decrease pain, and increase flexibility.
