Tui Na

Tui Na is a massage modality that is based in traditional Chinese medicine principles, and focuses on balancing Yin and Yang and improve the flow if qi. Tui Na involves stretching, the use of fingers to apply pressure to certain points along the meridian, as well as other techniques such as kneading, rolling, pulling, and other manipulations to reduce tension and increase blood flow. Although Tui Na differs in style to traditional Western massage, Tui Na is known to help alleviate chronic pain conditions and promote relaxation. Comfortable/flexible clothing is recommended, but not required, due to the stretching elements during a Tui Na massage session.
