Massage

Chinese therapeutic massage, known as Tui Na, is effective for aiding the recovery of muscle-skeletal disorders and relieving stress. Tui Na, literally translated as “push-grasp”, has been practiced and refined over thousands of years to become the primary form of manual therapy used in Chinese medicine. Tui Na massage encompasses the techniques of acupressure, deep tissue massage, cross-fiber massage, and traction to relax and manipulate the soft tissues (muscles and tendons). Tui Na therapy assists in correcting misalignment of the muscular skeletal system and returning the proper flow of Qi (energy) in the body.

Tui Na therapy sessions are usually preformed with the patient fully-dressed in loose clothing. Treatment is often used in combination with acupuncture to enhance therapeutic effects.
