On this page, we will explain its unique benefits. And why you should choose this treatment instead of regular massage therapy.
What Is Chinese Tuina Massage?
Tui Na pronounced twee-nah, is a medical massage. It originates in Chinese medicine and treats various conditions. We use hands and arms massage techniques to achieve a therapeutic effect.
It affects the soft tissues, tendons and joints. It improves their mobility. And also the circulation of blood, fluids and life force (Qi, chee) in those areas.
This can help to alleviate pain and reduce stress. And it promotes the overall healing process.
We enhance the general circulation throughout the body. We stimulate the pressure points of the meridian system. So, Tuina can sustain the functions of the internal organs.
We aim to open, balance and release. So we can treat muscular-skeletal problems. And any ailment due to emotional and postural holding. These holdings are unconscious. And they are within the body's connective tissues.
This therapy leads to general relaxation and better health. There can be a significant shift within the mind and body.
Tuina VS Massage: Unraveling The Key Differences
How Is Chinese Massage Therapy Different From Regular Massage Therapy?
Tuina Medical massage differs from Western massage therapies. This treatment not only treats conditions related to muscular health. But it can heal various health problems. Besides, the pressure we apply is much lighter than in Deep tissue massage.
Tuina is effective for chronic neck pain and carpal tunnel. It is a relaxing massage to raise your energy Qi. We advise you to book a deep-tissue massage for sports injuries.
What Are The Differences Between Thai Massage And Chinese Massage?
Both therapies originate from Eastern philosophy. They view the body holistically. But they differ a lot in their approach.
Thai massage includes lots of stretching, such as assisted yoga positions. Chinese massage therapists use rhythmic kneading, rolling, and acupressure.
Thai massage can be quite intense. We use deeper Pressure and lots of movement. Tuina uses lighter pressure. And it focuses more on specific acupoints and meridians.
In a Thai massage, the main focus is to improve the range of motion. Our Chinese treatment aims to restore balance in the body's energy flow. We focus more on specific medical issues. For example, we can treat digestive and breathing conditions.
Thai massage descends from Ayurvedic and Buddhist principles. Tuina originates in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Back And Shoulder/Neck
This massage is perfect for people who spend a lot of time in front of the screen. It is also a great choice for those suffering from chronic neck pain.
It can release the tension from continuous eye strain and postural habits. So, it could be very helpful for headaches and migraines.
Lower Back Pain And Legs
Working on the entire back and legs can be relaxing or refreshing. So, it is perfect for sciatica. And any tension affecting the legs and their mobility.
Firstly, We start with general relaxation. Then, we focus the work on the tensed and deficient areas.
In Chinese medicine, the lower abdomen stores the pathogen of cold. It represents the emotion of fear. Issues can manifest in the form of different conditions. Some include muscular conditions, such as sciatica, fertility and genital conditions. This type of massage might also use cupping, GUA SHA, and Moxa.
Abdominal Release & Detox For Fertility & Digestive Problems
Abdominal Tuina massage can release many emotions. In Chinese medicine, the small intestine is crucial for processing emotions. This massage technique can help to restore balance in this area. This holding may cause discomfort and stagnation.
Emotions relate to the menstrual cycle. So, this massage can improve any reproductive condition. And boosts fertility.
Emotions also affect digestion. So their release can improve nutrient absorption.
Emotional Therapy & Breathing Conditions
This massage focuses on the back, upper chest and upper limbs. It supports the Lungs.
Tuina can be quite impactful for those affected by asthma. It is beneficial for different emotional states. These include depression, grief, and lack of self-esteem and boundaries.
We may use Cupping and GUA SHA.
Headache & Migraine
This treatment focuses on the chest and upper abdomen. It is excellent for emotional upsets by creating space in the chest. It can improve movement in the diaphragm and anchor the Qi down.
Other conditions can benefit from it. These include headaches, migraines and sensory issues such as vertigo, dizziness and dry eyes. Still, we can include head and face massages for extra relaxation.
Relaxing Tuina Face Massage
This face massage might include some light cupping and GUA SHA. It is very calming and soothing, creating a sense of relaxation. Improved blood circulation benefits the appearance and tone of the skin.
Depending on your needs, we can focus on specific areas. For example, we can do the Face only, the Head and face, or the Face and neck.
Foot Tuina Massage
What is a Chinese foot massage? This treatment treats issues both around the knees and feet, including fasciitis.
I do recommend Patricia as a Chinese Medicine Practitioner. I have been her client for several years. I find her treatment and care unique. Her Tuina massage is so helpful for fatigue and digestion. And hormonal imbalance issues. The massage was restorative and relaxing. I will return to Patricia in the future. - Ann
