Tui Na massage: Multiple handling techniques

About fifty handling techniques are used, the most common of which are for example rolling, circular pressure and zen finger pushing.

This is a technique based on the theory of meridians and acupuncture points.

They can be classified into three main groups:

  1. The first group of techniques is used to treat muscle, tendon and joint problems.
  2. The second group is acupressure which consists of exerting pressure on acupuncture points with the fingers, palms or elbows in order to rebalance the energy of the meridians-organs.
  3. The third group of techniques is used to unblock or correct deformities caused by poor positioning of the joints, and aims at relieving joint and ligament pain.

What happens during a Tui Na massage session?

During a typical session, the practitioner first carefully identifies the problems, considering the energy imbalances of the whole body. He can then choose Tui Na as the method of treatment for a given problem. The patient may receive the massage either seated massage or laid depending on the protocol decided.

This treatment is typically done fully clothed in comfortable attire. However, there are occasions when the therapist may need to perform deeper massage, sometimes using specific massage oils, and may ask you to remove some of your clothing.
