Tuina ~ Traditional Chinese Bodywork

We know your schedule is busy, so our professional Tuina therapists are available days and evenings during the week by appointment. While it may be possible to get same day appointments for emergencies, it is recommended that you schedule in advance for convenience and best availability.

Tuina is the oldest known system of massage and all of today's massage techniques have their roots in it.

One of Tuina's advantages is its ability to focus on specific problems, both acute, such as trauma or injuries as well as chronic pain associated with muscles, joints, and the skeletal system. It is especially effective for joint pain (such as arthritis), sciatica, muscle spasms, backache, pain in the neck, and shoulders. It is also extremely useful for chronic conditions such as insomnia, constipation, headaches (including migraines), and the tension associated with stress.

Tuina does not simply work on the muscles, bones, and joints. It utilizes the same medical model as acupuncture and other Traditional Chinese Medical practices, therefore, it works with the Qi (vital energy) of the body at a deeper level. As the practitioner senses the client's body with his or her hands, they are able to assess the distribution of Qi and rectify its condition and flow.

Tuina is designed to prevent problems as well as correct them. By keeping the body's Qi flowing properly and in balance, health is maintained. This is true not just for physical health, but for mental and emotional well-being as well.
