Tuina Bodywork
Tuina is a specific form of massage based on Chinese medical principles. It involves deep tissue manipulation often along acupuncture points and meridians, stretching, and manipulation of the muscles, joints, and tendons. This treatment is good for patients looking to relax, relieve stress and muscle tension, and reduce pain.
Tuina is often done over clothing or a sheet. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment.

The Origins of Tuina:
Rooted in a history spanning over 2,000 years, Tuina 推拿, meaning 推 "push" and 拿 "grasp" in Chinese, finds its place in the tapestry of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). As part of our commitment to integrative health, Tuina becomes a key component—a manual therapy that combines massage, acupressure, and stretching techniques. Its purpose? To awaken the body's vital energy, or Qi, and restore harmony within the delicate balance of Yin and Yang forces.
Principles of Tuina Massage:
Tuina massage involves skillful manipulation of specific points along meridians and channels of the body, a core component of traditional Chinese medical theory.

This therapeutic approach goes beyond mere relaxation, addressing specific health concerns at their core.
