Tui Na Massage

Tui Na massage is a form of traditional Chinese therapeutic massage. It involves various techniques such as pushing, stretching, and kneading the muscles and tendons to promote energy flow and balance in the body. Tui Na massage is often used to treat musculoskeletal conditions, promote relaxation, and improve overall well-being. It is believed to work by restoring the flow of Qi (vital energy) in the body and stimulating acupressure points. Tui Na massage is commonly practiced alongside other traditional Chinese medicine treatments, such as acupuncture.

Acupressure Massage

Acupressure massage is a therapeutic technique that is closely related to acupuncture. It involves the application of manual pressure to specific points on the body, known as acupressure points, with the aim of promoting balance and well-being. These points are believed to be connected through pathways or meridians that allow the flow of energy, known as Qi, in Traditional Chinese Medicine. By stimulating these points, acupressure massage aims to alleviate tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. It can be performed using various techniques, including finger pressure, palm pressure, or using specific tools. Acupressure massage is considered a non-invasive alternative to acupuncture, and like Tui Na massage, it is often used in combination with other traditional Chinese medicine practices.
