Tui Na, often referred to as Chinese therapeutic massage, is a traditional form of Chinese manipulative therapy that has been used for thousands of years. It is a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and involves various massage techniques to stimulate acupressure points, muscles, and energy channels in the body. Tui Na aims to promote the flow of Qi (vital energy) and blood, balance Yin and Yang, and support the body’s natural healing process.

Tui Na is typically performed with the client fully clothed. Loose and comfortable clothing is often recommended to allow the practitioner to perform the massage effectively. Unlike some Western massage styles, Tui Na usually doesn’t involve the use of oils. The focus is more on the manipulation of muscles and energy channels through specific hand techniques

The treatments often incorporate different applications of heat through infrared heat lamps, to cupping and liniments to encourage recovery and relaxation.
