Tui Na Massage
What is Tui Na Massage?
Tui Na massage is bodywork and is in TCM next to acupuncture, herbs and Tai Chi/Chi Kung. From the period 500 BC onwards, various schools and movements in acupuncture and in the application of Chinese herbs developed. This also applies to Chinese massage, which from 280 BC onwards appears in Chinese medical books as Tui Na (literally Tui: pulling and Na: grasping, holding). A few decades ago, the various styles spread across China were brought together in what we call Tui Na massage therapy today.
Tui Na is therapeutic bodywork. By performing massage techniques on acupuncture points and meridians in your body, the flow of Qi or energy balance is restored. Because the meridians lie on the surface and then go deeper into the body, the condition of the internal organs can also be influenced by massage. Complaints that have to do with the body surface or joints are also treated via the meridians.

More about Tui Na Massage
The meridians form the channel network through which not only Qi, but also blood, fluids and essence circulate. This network is often compared to streams, rivers, lakes and seas. The function of the meridians is, among other things, to transport Qi and blood throughout the body. They form the connection between organs and between the organs and associated tissues and senses. They connect top with bottom, left with right and inside with outside. In addition to feeding the body with Qi, essence, fluids and blood, the meridians also have a protective function and form the various energetic levels of the body. By massaging the acupuncture points on the meridians, the energy circulation in the body can be influenced. In this way, an excess of Qi can be reduced, a deficiency can be supplemented and stagnations in the circulation can be eliminated.
Tui Na massage therapy is a full-fledged treatment technique with which you can treat a wide range of complaints. Normally, the treatment duration is between 3-9 treatments, depending on the complaints. Tui Na massage techniques are also often used during regular acupuncture treatments.
