The Essence of Tuina

Tuina is one of the oldest bodywork systems in the world. A sophisticated form of Chinese medical massage, it addresses both musculoskeletal issues and internal patterns of disharmony.

Often used alongside acupuncture, cupping, and qigong, Tuina is distinct in its application: fully clothed, rhythmic, and deeply restorative.

Mechanics of Healing

By stimulating specific points, we increase the flow of Qi and Blood. This supports the body's auto-healing capabilities, restoring homeostasis through a complete mind-body-spirit approach.
