Tui na Massage
Tui na, (pronounced twee-nar), was developed in China over 5,000 years ago and is commonly known now as “the grandfather of all massage”. It encompasses massage techniques, acupressure, myofascial release, reflexology, stretching techniques and joint mobilisations commonly used in osteopathy and chiropractic. The Japanese bodywork of shiatsu was developed from Tui na about 100 years ago.
Tui na works on the energy channels in muscle groups and points on the body using the same principles as acupuncture, except hands and fingers are used instead of needles. This wonderful massage session invigorates blood, speeds healing, increases circulation, relieves pain, soothes stress and eases tense, tight muscles.
