Lunch Time (Tui Na) Massage
What is Tui Na
Tui Na is an oriental
bodywork therapy that has been used in China for at least 3,600 years. Often called ‘acupuncture without needles', Tui
Na uses the traditional Chinese medical theory of harmonising the flow of ‘Qi' through the meridian lines of the body.
The term Tui Na translates into ‘push – grasp' in Chinese and relates to the application of massage and manipulation
of the soft tissues. Tui Na is used to treat many disorders from soft tissue / sports injury, repetitive strain to arthritic
pain and frozen shoulders. It even doubles up as a thorough sports massage or to relieve work related postural pain
What to expect
Following a brief discussion as well as some basic questions regarding general
health and any existing conditions you may have, the Tui Na massage will be focused on specific acupressure points, energy
trigger points, muscles and joints . This therapeutic method goes directly after any problems, sometimes requiring significant
pressure. As with most ‘energy based' treatments, the patient either feels relaxed and tired or surprisingly energised
by the treatment and release of pain. Treatment is carried out in a seated or lying position, whichever is the most comfortable,
and the Tui Na massage is applied through loose clothing or over a towel. It uses no oils or creams so is ideally suited before
or after a day in the office or even at lunchtime: no need for a shower after treatment!
