TUI NA (Acupressure)
Tui Na massage as practiced in China treats physical conditions that in the West would require an osteopath, chiropractor, physiotherapist or sports therapist.
It is more effective than any of these, since it works not only on the muscles and joints but also at a deeper level affecting the flow of vital life energy in the body.
Tui Na applies pressure using massage techniques to the Meridians (energetic pathways which transport energy around the body) and specific points on the meridians called acupoints where the energy pools and collects.
By manipulating the Meridians and the acupoints the energy or Qi of the body is affected, so that it can flow freely and evenly around the body.
The distribution of Qi within your body has profound effects on all aspects of your wellbeing, the emotional, intellectual, spiritual and physical.
Chinese medicine views all disease as caused by imbalances and blockages in the flow of Qi. When your Qi is balanced you feel relaxed, confident and full of energy and enthusiasm. You are free from stiffness or aches and pains, are full of vigour and sparkle with energy.
