Tui Na Massage Therapy
What is Tui Na?
Tui Na is a therapeutic form of Chinese manual therapy, part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, that combines massage, acupressure, and stretching techniques to promote the body’s natural healing and restore balance. Its name literally means “push and grasp,” reflecting the hands-on techniques used to move energy and blood through the body.
Tui Na works on muscles, tendons, joints, and meridians to relieve tension, improve circulation, and support overall wellbeing. It can be used on adults, children, and even infants in gentler forms.
What Tui Na is Used For
Tui Na is versatile and can help with a wide range of health concerns, including:
Musculoskeletal pain: neck, back, shoulder, and joint tension
Sports injuries and recovery
Headaches and migraines
Stress, anxiety, and tension-related conditions
Digestive issues and fatigue
Children’s conditions such as digestive discomfort, colic, or developmental support
By addressing both physical and energetic imbalances, Tui Na promotes long-term wellness rather than just temporary relief.
A typical Tui Na session at Wild Heart Acupuncture lasts approximately 45 – 60 minutes and includes:
Consultation: we will discuss your health history, current concerns, and any symptoms.
Assessment: we’ll evaluate posture, range of motion, and areas of tension.
Treatment: using a combination of hands-on techniques — including kneading, rolling, pressing, and stretching — I target specific areas of discomfort and restore balance.
Aftercare Advice: Guidance on exercises, stretches, or lifestyle adjustments to support healing and prevent recurrence.
Tui Na can feel deeply relaxing, though some techniques may produce mild soreness similar to a deep tissue massage. Most clients feel an immediate sense of release and improved mobility.
