Tuina by massaging on the body to ease any blockages or imbalances.

What Is Tuina?

Tuina (pronounced “twee-nah”) is a form of therapeutic Chinese massage that has been practised for thousands of years. Rooted in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Tuina involves a combination of massage, acupressure, and stretching techniques to restore balance, release tension, and promote the smooth flow of Qi (vital-energy) and blood throughout the body.

How It Works

Tuina targets specific meridians, acupoints, and muscle groups to address blockages, imbalances, and areas of pain or stiffness. By applying various hand techniques such as kneading, rolling, pressing, and tapping, the therapist stimulates the body’s healing response and supports its natural energy flow.

Unlike a relaxation massage, Tuina is focused, therapeutic, and tailored to your individual health needs. It can be firm or gentle depending on the condition being treated.

Key Benefits

• Relieves muscle tension, stiffness, and pain

• Unblocks meridian channels and restores energetic balance

• Supports circulation and lymphatic drainage

• Enhances flexibility and joint mobility

• Reduces stress and calms the nervous system

• Complements other TCM therapies such as acupuncture and cupping

What to Expect

Tuina treatments are typically done through clothing or with a towel over the body, without the use of oils. Sessions may focus on specific problem areas or be delivered as a full-body treatment depending on your condition. You may feel relaxed, energised, or experience a sense of deep release following the session.

Tuina offers a holistic, hands-on approach to restoring harmony within the body and is suitable for both acute and chronic health concerns.
