massage - chinese tuina

what is tuina?

Tuina (pronounced Tway Na) is traditional Chinese massage that has been used in China for more than 200 years. It uses the traditional Chinese medical theory of the flow of energy through meridians as its basic model. It is used to prevent and treat diseases by manipulating certain parts of the human body surface and acupressure points along the body's meridians. It is a quick, easy and safe way to relieve common ailments - with no side effects.

It works by balancing ying and yang, regulating the balance of the inner organs' functions, unblocking the meridians, and promoting the circulation of Qi (energy) and blood.
