Tuina

(Asian Physical Therapy)

Tuina dates back 2000 years to the Shang Dynasty of China and
 is based on the traditional Chinese Medical Theory of the flow of Qi
through the meridians.

Tuina treatments use massage, acupressure and manipulation techniques
 along with external herbal poultices, compresses, liniments and salves with
 the aim of restoring balance thus allowing the body to naturally heal itself.

With more than 365 hand techniques available, Tui Na treatments can
 range from those that are light and soothing to those that are strong and
 invigorating. By pressing, tapping, and kneading with palms, fingertips,
 knuckles or other implements, Tui Na therapists are able to remove energy
 blockages along the body's meridians and restore balance in the body in
 order to promote self-healing. Tui Na acts to reduce pain, stimulate the
immune system, Qi, blood and lymphatic flow, and generate a deep sense
 of harmony and relaxation in the patient.
