Bodywork

Tuina bodywork is a Chinese bodywork that has been most tried and tested in the world. Its literal translation is "push and grasp", and it is often used to relieve muscle pain, tension and inflammation. It is one of the main components of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Tuina is a vigorous and invigorating bodywork, and every technique requires movement as well as pressure. After the first session, you may feel a little sore, but most people adjust well to the deep and penetrating pressure within a few treatments. Once you get a taste of Tuina, you will enjoy it very much.

Tuina is applied to your clothed body, except for foot reflexology. So there is no need to disrobe or worry about oil staining your clothes. Foot reflexology is applied directly to your feet with massage cream.

Tuina can work on your muscles, joints, and soft tissues effectively. In combination with the meridian and point stimulations, Tuina can increase and smooth the blood circulation of the whole body. In human body, functions, such as metabolism, gas exchange and hormone transportations are necessary for us to live, and they all depend on blood circulation. The muscles, tendons, and joints reach a greater state of relaxation when the blood circulation of the extremities increases from Tuina treatments

Immune system can be suppressed easily when the body is under stress. This is why people catch cold easily when they are stressed out. Tuina can increase resistance of your body against external pathogens by promoting relaxation and stimulating the immune system of the whole body.
