Tuina is the use of a number of manual hand techniques to diagnose and treat disease. The palpation of the body gives important diagnostic information. The practitioner still uses the diagnostic framework of TCM, but uses their hands as the main tool to adjust the patients body. Tuina techniques can be great for working with muscles, tendons, joint problems, or aches and pains. It also can be used for relaxation or more systemic internal problems where appropriate too.
Musculoskeletal techniques are emphasized at our clinic, and often used in conjunction with acupuncture and herbal medicine for more internal conditions that are affecting the musculoskeletal system. (such as arthritis, poor circulation, fluid accumulation) Tuina massage is often performed while still wearing clothes, so please wear something loose and comfortable.
