What is TUINA MASSAGE?
…and what are its benefits?
Tuina Massage w/Acupuncture
A: Tuina is one of the modalities and fundamental pillars within Traditional Chinese Medicine.
It uses different strokes, passive movements, and pressure to stimulate the flow of energy in the body. When we have blockages, whether it be muscular, emotional, digestive, etc, our bodies are unable to function properly. By stimulating different areas of the body through different forms of touch, the practitioner will work to bring your body back into balance.
Tuina can include both light touch as well as vigorous movements, depending on the patients’ needs.
