Tuina Massage

Ancient Asian Massage

Tuina

Tuina is a form of traditional Chinese massage therapy that focuses on the manipulation of the body's soft tissues, including muscles, tendons, and fascia, along with the stimulation of acupuncture points. It is rooted in the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, emphasizing the flow of energy and the balance of Yin and Yang within the body.

The primary goals of tuina are to alleviate pain, reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, promote relaxation, and enhance overall health. It can be particularly effective for musculoskeletal issues like back pain, neck pain, and joint problems.

Tuina can enhance treatment outcomes alone or in combination with other traditional Chinese medicine therapies, such as acupuncture or herbal medicine.

Tuina encompasses a variety of techniques, including kneading, rolling, pressing, and stretching. Practitioners may also use hands, fingers, elbows, and sometimes tools to facilitate treatment.

I've been seeing Dana for 5 years or so. Visiting her practice is so much more than a traditional acupuncture experience. Dana's combination of TCM knowledge and various applications, genuine care for her patients' wellbeing, intuitive gifts, and a wonderful balance of humor and and "real talk" make her a great healthcare advocate and partner. I look forward to all of my visits with Dana!
