Tuina & Shiatsu Massage

 

Tuina Massage, also known as acupressure, is a hands on manual manipulation modality that uses meridians and acupuncture points to move qi and blood, and release muscles and tendons.  Tuina massage is closely related to and is often synonymous with Shiatsu massage with regards to treatment style, function, and results.  It is a very deep treatment and shows great outcomes, especially when combined with other therapies such as acupuncture and electrical acupuncture. 

 

Tuina is a type of massage that uses pressure and then sustaining that pressure on acupuncture points, muscles, and fascia to release tension and adhesions and promote the flow of energy.  It differs from any western style of massage in that application of pressure instead of gliding with the muscles.  Since it works with acupuncture points and channel/meridian systems, Tuina’s scope of treatment is rather large and it can be used all over the body to not only release muscle and fascial adhesions, and regulate specific acupuncture points, it can also be used to treat internal imbalances and disharmonies such as digestive issues as well as relax the mind and body.
