Tuina Massage

Tuina is a manual method within traditional Chinese medicine. Mrs Zhang works with muscles, tendons, and selected points using pressing, kneading, grasping, rolling, and pushing techniques.

You usually remain clothed during the treatment, so comfortable, loose clothing is helpful. Oil is used only for particular techniques or areas.

Tuina can feel firm and focused, especially around tense or sensitive areas. You may notice pressure, pulling, warmth, or a dull ache. Tell Mrs Zhang how the pressure feels so that she can adjust the technique. Mild muscular soreness can occur afterwards and should settle.

Severe pain, a recent injury, unexplained weakness or numbness, or rapidly worsening symptoms should be medically assessed before manual treatment.

Tuina can be used on its own or combined with other methods during a visit. When back pain or muscular tension is being discussed, manual work may be paired with acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, or a TDP heat lamp.

The choice of techniques and combinations follows the assessment and your feedback during the session.
