Tuina
Massage
TuiNa Massage ("tway na") is
a form of massage developed through several thousand
years to become a highly effective non-invasive treatment.
Though relatively unknown in the west, in China it is
regarded as one of the main branches of Chinese Medicine
alongside Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine and Qi Gong therapy.
Tui
Na massage can be performed through clothing, using
various lifting, stretching, stroking, pushing and grasping
massage techniques. These are accompanied by acupressure
and joint manipulation resulting in a relaxing and powerfully
energising massage.
Whilst
Tui Na is renowned for its effectiveness in the treatment
of musculo-skeletal conditions, it is also effective
for internal problems such as headaches and migraine,
anxiety and panic attacks, digestive dysfunction, circulatory
problems, hormonal imbalance, stress and related conditions
amongst others. Tui Na is also an effective way to maintain
health, reduce the chance of injury, enhance flexibility
and manage stress.
Treatment with Tui Na Massage is available, either on
its own, or in combination with Acupuncture.
Treatment
Process
Treatment follows a short medical consultation. To help
this process, it is useful if patients have considered
their previous medical history prior to treatment so
that they can inform the practitioner of pertinent facts
at the start of the session. These details will be used
to diagnose the problem and suggest appropriate treatment.
Tuina is best done with almond oil applied to skin,
however, for patients who prefer less intimacy, or have
allergies to base oils, treatment can be done through
thin clothing.
