Tui Na MassageWhat is it Like?
The Tui Na Practitioner uses a variety of massage techniques and pressures to specific musculo-skeletal areas of the body. This soft tissue manipulation targets the acu-pressure points along which the Qi (pronounced 'chee') meridians lie. The treatment itself is firm and vigorous yet relaxing at the same time. Also, unlike other types of massage, some techniques will also involve the limbs being moved around and lightly stretched.
Overall, it has to be said that the beneficiary effects of the massage are felt after treatment especially, with the patient feeling very relaxed yet energised for days afterwards. The patient may experience some localised soreness at first but after two or three sessions most people will adjust quite comfortably to the deep pressure; however, it is this depth of pressure that makes Tui Na so effective.
