Chinese massage – also referred to as tui na – is an ancient form of massage used to relieve pain, accelerate recovery from injury, improve blood circulation and energy levels, and support your overall mental and physical wellbeing. Practitioners believe that health issues can be triggered when energy (qi) becomes blocked as it travels through interconnecting pathways (meridians) in your body. Chinese massage stimulates certain acupoints (clusters of nerve endings, capillaries and lymphatics) on your body to clear any blockages and re-establish balance.

A Chinese massage focuses on holistic health, directing massage to very specific acupressure points on your body to target specific problems and boost your wellbeing. A regular massage, on the other hand, is centred on relaxation and stress relief.

Your practitioner will use their elbows, fingers and hands to administer kneading, twisting, pulling, and pushing massage techniques on specific points on your body. This aims to unblock the flow of your qi and restore balance to your body.
