Tui Na, also known as Chinese Massage therapy is a one-of- kind technique based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine. The massage therapist uses his hands, feet, elbows, and arms to apply pressure on the specific points or areas of a client who remains fully clothed while receiving a variety of effective massage techniques.

Tui na is used for stress and pain relief and has been used continuously for over three millennia in China.

Those points or areas are known as acupuncture points and the stagnation of energy or chi in those areas cause fatigue or stress and the rise of all sorts of pain in the body.

The key areas that can help improve the flow of energy are the acupuncture points; eliminate the blockage in those points and stress and pain will be eventually relieved. Tui Na therapy involves several types of pointing, pressing, pushing, robbing, and rolling techniques. These methods not only work on the skin level but, more importantly, also penetrate deeply into the acupoints. This is the main difference between Chinese Massage therapy and other conventional forms of massage. In a lot of instances, the person receiving tui na becomes energetic once again and experiences instant pain relief. This therapy cures insomnia, panic, stress, sciatica, headaches, and migraines. It accelerates the healing of carpal tunnel syndrome, injuries in the joints, and arthritis as well as balance people with chronic illnesses by strengthening their immune systems and reduce pain. Acupressure is another type of Chinese massage therapy that involves the application of pressure using the practitioner’s finger or thumb to an acupoint(s) to resolve an ailment. Tui na integrates both conventional massage and acupressure.
