Tui Na

If you are unwell or in pain, then Chinese massage (known as Tui Na) can bring you welcome relief – it is simply the most tried and tested massage therapy in the world.

It is a very effective treatment when used in combination with Acupuncture.

What is Tui Na?

Tui Na (pronounced ‘twee-nah’) massage is a complete healing system, like Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. These three forms of therapy are the main components of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Tui Na is applied to your clothed body. Patients sit on a chair or lie on a couch. In China, Tui Na therapists treat conditions that, in the West, would be treated by Osteopaths, Chiropractors and Physiotherapists or with drugs.

The benefits of Tui Na Treatment

Tui Na therapy treats chronic pain, especially pain caused by muscle-skeletal conditions and injuries. Neck, shoulder and back pain and immobility, sciatica and ‘tennis elbow’ all respond very well.

It is, however, impossible to treat a specific condition with Tui Na without improving the overall Qi status of the body. This means that headaches, migraines, IBS, constipation, PMS and a whole range of emotional problems also improve with a Tui Na therapy.

Tui na v Sports Massage Therapy?

In a treatment, after making a diagnosis, I often start using Tuina which means the patient can stay clothed. Sometimes after thoroughly warming up the injured area/s, it may be necessary to expose the area and work with oil, using different Sports Massage Therapy techniques to work more specifically into a Trigger Point or an area of scar tissue.

It may be that Acupuncture is used as well at the end of the session to make sure the job is done! These 3 modalities I find, work extremely well together to bring relief and expedite healing.

Success Stories

Pete Thompson

“I am a long distance runner and have had hamstring issues on and off for several years. I went to see Jenny on recommendation for a Tuina massage. After a Postural Assessment and a subsequent massage I was delighted to find that my legs felt completely different on my next marathon. It lasted for about a month so I returned.

This time I had Acupuncture which after only 1 session completely took away the pain. That was 3 months ago. I would definitely recommend Jenny for her professionalism, expertise and care. I really enjoyed my treatment and indeed will be returning for maintenance massage when I need it.”

Sharon Peters

“My lower back has progressively got worse since my second child. Nothing seemed to work despite 2 weekly Chiropractor sessions for a year, drugs and various other professionals. After my first session of Acupuncture with Jenny, the pain lessened considerably – 2 more sessions and it’s gone!

Jenny has a way about her – she made me feel completely at ease and I knew she understood my pain and my situation. I felt safe. I was confident from the first session that she could help me. I now also have a regular Tuina massage with Jenny to keep my back supple and pain free. Tuina is amazing – I wish I had found this style of massage years ago!”
