Traditional Chinese Healing Therapy
Tui Na (pronounced “tweenah”) is one of China’s oldest massage methods that works to sync up the body’s energy, or Qi. It’s commonly used in Chinese medicine alongside acupuncture and cupping. Techniques include gliding, kneading, tapping, rolling, and stretching, all done over clothing.
Therapists aim to unblock energy flow for pain relief, improved digestion, and better sleep. Tui Na can be gentle or strong, tailored to your health needs. After a tough week at work, I found it helped ease neck and upper back stiffness without the soreness that sometimes follows a deep tissue session.
Many clinics in Asia offer Tui Na as part of a package, along with herbal remedies or acupuncture. If you’re curious about traditional medicine or want something a bit different, Tui Na gives you a taste of holistic Eastern practices aimed at balancing both physical and internal health.
