An ancient art for deeply rebalancing the body.
Originating more than three thousand years ago in the central regions of the Middle Kingdom, Tui Na is a therapeutic massage rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This invigorating and deep-tissue massage works on muscle tissue, joints, and energy meridians, promoting the flow of Qi (vital energy) and contributing to the body’s overall well-being.
Much more than just a relaxing massage, Tui Na is a comprehensive manual therapy that helps restore mobility, relieve tension, and harmonize the body’s overall functioning.

Tui Na massage: numerous hand techniques
Tui Na massage is based on the fundamental principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and on the theory of meridians and acupuncture points.
About fifty manipulation techniques are used, including:
– rolling (Gun Fa),
– circular pressure (Rou Fa),
– finger pressure (Zhi Fa),
– kneading (Nie Fa),
– friction (Mo Fa),
– stretching and joint mobilization (Ban Fa).
Techniques that help to:
– relieve muscle tension,
– improve joint mobility,
– stimulate blood circulation,
– promote physical recovery,
– rebalance the body’s energy.
These techniques can be grouped into three main categories:
Muscle and Joint Work
These techniques are used to treat muscle tension, tendon pain, and joint restrictions. Tui Na works deeply on the muscle chains and helps restore the body’s mobility.
Acupressure and Energy Work
The practitioner applies pressure to acupuncture points using their fingers, palms, or elbows to regulate the flow of Qi in the meridians and support organ function.
Manipulations and Structural Realignment
Certain manipulations are designed to release or correct functional imbalances related to joints or posture in order to relieve pain and improve the body’s alignment.
