Traditional Chinese Medicine
A specially trained Chinese Medical Massage, called Tuina, based on Traditional Chinese Medicine Theory
What is Tuina?
Tuina, one of the three pillars of Traditional Chinese Medicine—alongside acupuncture and herbal medicine—has been practiced in China for nearly 5,000 years. As a highly sophisticated form of medical massage, Tuina has been continuously refined over the centuries, influencing various massage techniques worldwide, including those from Japan, Sweden, and Korea.
Rooted in a profound understanding of anatomy, physiology, and pathology, Tuina works by skillfully guiding qi (vital energy) through the body's meridians and channels to restore balance, alleviate pain, and enhance overall well-being. This time-honored technique promotes natural healing by addressing both the root cause of discomfort and the body's innate ability to recover.
At our clinic, we honor the rich tradition of Tuina while integrating modern holistic principles to tailor each treatment to your specific needs. Whether you are recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or seeking to optimize your health and vitality, our expert practitioners are dedicated to restoring harmony and enhancing your well-being through the art of Tuina.
Mechanism of Tuina
The therapeutic effects of Tuina stem from the heat and energy generated through deep tissue manipulation, which flow deep into the body and are absorbed by the microstructures of muscle fibers and soft tissues. This process helps restore physiological function at the site of injury. Specifically, Tuina enhances blood and lymphatic circulation, strengthens the immune system, and supports the body's natural healing process. As a result, it effectively alleviates symptoms such as muscle spasms, muscle stiffness, edema, muscular adhesions, and restricted range of motion.
Our Treatment Modalities
As a family-owned clinic, we primarily focus on Tuina, a therapeutic massage technique highly effective for pain related to soft tissue and muscle injuries. However, our expertise extends beyond Tuina to offer a well-rounded approach to healing and wellness.
