About Tui Na massage
Tui na is part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It is based on the Chinese medical principle that pain and illness are symptoms of a blockage or imbalance of Qi ("chee"), the body’s energy. Tui na massage encourages the free-flow of
Qi promoting balance within the body.
Tui na is a relatively recent introduction to the UK, yet has been practiced and studied for thousands of years In China where many doctors specialise in Tui na and hospitals have dedicated Tui na departments.
Depending on the condition being treated techniques vary from subtle movements to a vigorous deep-tissue style massage.
Joints and muscles may be manipulated to relieve musculoskeletal pain and stiffness like arthritis and sciatica and directing the flow of Qi within the body to treat deeper seated conditions like depression and insomnia.
