Tui Na Massage has been a vital part of Chinese Medical
Practice for more than 4000 years and is now increasing in popularity in the
West. Tui Na literally means “Push” and “Grasp” and this will give you a good
idea of the technique behind this hands-on therapy. The effectiveness of Tui Na
is due to the depth of the massage, which penetrates the very channels of
energy that flow through the body. This energy is known as Chi, which flows
through the body’s meridians supplying the organs, tissue and mind.
Tui Na helps Chi to be distributed throughout the body and
replenishes both the body and mind. The flow of Chi can be interrupted by all
sorts of factors common in our daily lives. As well as physical injuries and
illness causing this, emotional factors can also be at the root of the problem.
The Chinese try to balance all aspects of their lives, both physically and
emotionally as, because of this balance, Chi is allowed to flow effectively and
uninterrupted throughout the body.
As daily life becomes more stressful sometimes the body
needs help to rebalance. There are many people who have had their lives
transformed by Tui Na, freed from pain of injury and gaining a feeling of
calmness and balance. This particular
therapy works at such a deep level that it achieves real results for a huge
variety of ailments. Most importantly, it seeks to treat both the symptoms and
the cause. At a therapy session the client is encouraged to communicate where
the pain is occurring and it is on this basis that the therapist will guide
himself and therefore tailor the treatment to meet the needs of the patient.
The therapist will use varying amounts of pressure on the relevant meridian
points to allow Chi to flow harmoniously again. All factors are taken into
account, from emotional wellbeing to the diet and lifestyle of the patient so
maximum benefit can be achieved. For a treatment, as this is of a physical
nature, loose trousers and a tee-shirt should be worn. The massage does not
require the removal of any clothing.
