What is Tuina?

Tuina (推拿) is one of the oldest therapeutic massage forms in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Unlike Western-style massage, Tuina focuses on restoring energetic balance through specific TCM techniques.

Practitioners use:

  • Pressing
  • Kneading
  • Rolling
  • Grasping
  • Rhythmic pushing and pulling

These methods target meridians, acupoints, muscles, tendons, and soft tissues to encourage healing and release blockages that disrupt the flow of Qi.

Tuina is both therapeutic and energizing — ideal for muscular discomfort, stress, and TCM-based health support.
