Tui Na

What it is

A traditional Chinese form of therapeutic bodywork using rhythmic pressure, kneading, and stretching along the body's energy channels, often within Chinese medicine.

What a session is like

The practitioner uses firm, rhythmic hand techniques along the body, often more brisk and therapeutic than a relaxation massage. It may be part of a broader Chinese medicine treatment.

Every practitioner works in their own way — your first conversation clarifies length, approach, and what's right for you.

Who it's for

People seeking a traditional, therapeutic style of bodywork, often alongside acupuncture or Chinese medicine.
