Tuina Massage – Sports and Medical Massage

Originating in China, tuina massage, also known as tui na, stands as the world’s oldest recognized form of massage, boasting a history of over 4,000 years. Widely practiced in Chinese and Southeast Asian hospitals today, Tuina addresses conditions that, in Western countries, often necessitate the expertise of a chiropractor, osteopath, or physiotherapist.

Distinguished from other techniques, Tuina not only targets joints and muscles but also delves into deeper imbalances affecting the flow of vital life energy (Qi) within the body.

Similar to acupuncture, Tuina employs the same meridians and acupoints to harmonize Qi and Blood, promoting overall health. Incorrect Qi flow can lead to blockages, manifesting as issues like poor blood circulation and localized pain.

Tuina is translated as Tui 'push' and Na 'grasp'.

Here are some conditions Tuina massage can treat:

  • neck and back pain
  • musculoskeletal disorders
  • fatigue and insomnia
  • carpal tunnel
  • headaches
  • arthritis
  • digestive conditions
  • respiratory conditions
  • stress

Unlike some other forms of massage, Tuina necessitates keeping clothes on during a session. One notable aspect of Tuina massage is its versatility, it serves as standalone treatment or complements other therapies like cupping and acupuncture, making it an appealing option for those averse to needles.

What I personally like about Tuina massage?

One notable aspect of Tuina massage is its versatility, it serves as standalone treatment or complements other therapies like cupping, acupuncture or physiotherapy, making it an appealing option for those averse to needles.

The Tuina massage also combines some of the chiropractor and osteopath’s techniques which gives me a great tool for treating musculoskeletal conditions.

Personally, I appreciate Tuina massage for its dual benefits – relaxation and the release of deeper tension and muscle knots. Tuina played a crucial role in my full recovery after a knee injury.

My other therapies include:
