TuiNa Massage Therapy
TuiNa massage can be used for relaxation, but also for the treatment of a large number of syndromes. For that reason TuiNa is also referred to as Chinese medical massage.
TuiNa uses a large number of massage techniques. Acupuncture points and meridians are massaged and manipulated. This is an important difference with Western massage techniques, which are generally aimed at treating muscles and muscle groups. Trough the harmonising effect of TuiNa treatment the body is given a chance to recover by using its self healing capacity. Using TuiNa therapy enables the release of attached tissues, pain and spasms, for example. It can also relax muscles and tendons, unblock meridians, stimulate blood circulation and restore the Qi (energy) circulation. Moreover it can promote the functioning of organs, intestines and the nervous system.
TuiNa works without needles which makes this method particularly suitable for the treatment of children and people with a weak condition. It can also be applied to patients afraid of acupuncture needles. In combination, TuiNa and acupuncture can support each other. For example, TuiNa can prepare the body and make it more sensitive for an acupuncture treatment.
Awareness of the cause of the complaint makes the client participate in the healing process by changing diet and lifestyle.
TuiNa, as well as acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, is recognised as a specific Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapy by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
