What Exactly Is Tuina?

A form of traditional Chinese medicine, Tuina is a combination of pressing, rubbing and kneading the soft tissues in the back to increase energy by stimulating blood flow. In addition, this massage-like practice encourages toxin release helping patients heal from the inside out.

Does It Hurt?

Tuina is similar to a massage, but the pressure is applied with more focus. If you're used to getting massages, it's unlikely Tuina will hurt. Although you may be a little sore afterward. Don't be alarmed if light bruising occurs since it's completely normal.

Just be sure to communicate with your specialist about trouble spots, preferred pressure or if you are experiencing any pain.
