Tuina Massage

How Tuina Works

Tuina is an ancient Chinese massage therapy which combines the concept of acupuncture channels with the musculoskeletal system to release tension and promote blood flow. It includes massage techniques and also joint manipulation and stretches where necessary. I frequently combine Tuina and acupuncture, using them consecutively in a treatment. There are times when touch and massage are so important.

Conditions Treated

Here are some situations when I choose to use Tuina in a treatment:

• Any muscle pain or tension
• Abdominal massage for period pain and fertility
• Pains during pregnancy
• Massage for relaxation
• Facial massage for sinusitis or blockage
• Abdominal massage for constipation or stomach pain
