What is Tui-Na?
(Chinese Medical Massage)
Tui-Na is a form of therapeutic massage that like Acupuncture has been used in China for over 2000 years. It makes use of rhythmic compression techniques, stretches and manipulations along different energy channels in the body (Meridians) to establish harmonious flow of energy (Qi). Tui Na is often used in combination with Acupuncture, to enhance the healing process. It is often referred to as Acupuncture without needles. Even though Acupuncture is virtually always painless there are people who just don't like the idea of fine needles. Tui-Na follows the same principles so is an excellent alternative.
How does it work?
In Traditional Chinese Medecine (TCM) where Tui-Na stems from, illness is caused by stagnating vital life energy (Qi). Better health and relief from illness and pain, can be acheived by restoring the smooth flow of energy through the unique blend of hands on massage techniques.

''To follow the Tao is
To honour its principles
To realize that we live in Nature
But can never own it; We can guide and serve
But never dominate.
This is the highest wisdom''
