About Tuina

Tuina is an old Chinese medicine that have been practiced for over 3000 years. It is one of the major branches along with acupuncture and Chinese herbalism. Over the last two centuries, Tuina has taken over the role of Physiotherapy, Osteopathy and Chiropractic in China. As of 2010 Tuina is now recognised in China as a distinct medical system in its own right.

The basic principle lies in finding the right acupressure points in order to release the Qi (energy) that causes pain. Tuina stimulates these points and channels and relief the pain by reducing and getting rid of blockages of Qi (throbbing pain).

​

The deep vibrations of Tuina can also release the emotions that are usually found to be the root of our pain. Emotions such as anger, fear, ruminative thoughts can have a deep impact on our body.

Tuina is much more than a simple massage, it is a complete therapy taking into account all the aspects of the human being. Not only does it eliminate the symptoms but it also takes care of the origin of the problem. It only takes a few sessions to release all the tensions that prevent us from living our best life.

Tuina is not generally used for relaxation as such, but rather as a treatment to address specific patterns of disharmony.

The Tuina based facial massage focuses on meridians, points, lifting and draining techniques. It is good for anti-ageing, firming & toning and clearing congested skin.
