Tui Na is a form of therapeutic bodywork rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that focuses on restoring movement, reducing tension, and supporting balance within the body.
Unlike relaxation-based massage, Tui Na uses structured techniques such as pressing, rolling, kneading, stretching, and mobilization to work with muscles, joints, and soft tissues. These techniques are applied with intention and precision to support circulation, mobility, and functional alignment.
Tui Na may be performed through clothing or with minimal oil, depending on the area being addressed and the goals of the session. The approach is dynamic and therapeutic, tailored to how the body presents on the day of treatment.
