HOW DOES TUI NA DIFFER FROM OTHER MASSAGE STYLES?

Tui na can be both a deeply soothing or dynamically invigorating massage to receive.  It is an excellent way to calm the central nervous system that helps elevate you into a deep sense of relaxation. My approach will focus on what your energy requires for bringing you back into a state of balance and harmony. Whilst also leaving you feeling both physically lighter and mentally clearer.

 

The other aspect I include is a tongue and pulse reading to help open the line of enquiry for any dis-harmonic patterns that may be presenting in your energy field. A treatment plan is then formulated to include the relevant acupoints specifically for your needs in mind, that will be incorporated into the massage work. This holistic approach works benefit and improve every level of your consciousness.

 

HOW IS TUI NA MASSAGE PERFORMED?

Tui na massage uses a variety of hand and forearm techniques that include rolling, pushing, holding, pulling, grasping and tapping. Some supplemental rotations and passive manipulations which assist joint mobility can also be performed. All of the techniques help release pathogens and move blood stagnation.

The massage techniques start on a superficial level and then gradually migrate down into the deeper layers of the fascia to help resolve deeply held somatic patterns. I conduct energetic assessment and make any necessary adjustments intuitively during the session.  This can include hands-off qi transfer and sound frequency work.


 

WHAT DOES TUINA MASSAGE FOCUS ON? 

 

Tui na massage specialises in removing physical restrictions that cause postural and spinal misalignment's. It can focus directly on joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments, as well as move blood and qi (life force energy).

 

It does this by working with the fascia (connective tissue) whilst also following meridian pathways and activating acupoints that help enhance the mobility of qi.

 

This holistic approach is highly important as pain can often be caused by a blockage elsewhere in the body. Once the blockages are released, the qi starts to flow and the body’s innate intelligence will automatically re-balance you. Improving your physical, mental and emotional well-being.  

Massage Table

"I had been diagnosed as diabetic, among a number of symptoms I was feeling extreme fatigue. Through a combination of diet, exercise and Tui na my energy levels increased radically and we managed to reverse the condition. I am no longer technically Diabetic!  Molly is impeccably professional and yet manages her healing approach with a pragmatism and great sense of humour that makes you very comfortable and confident with her treatments. I am so convinced of the benefits of Tui na that after the initial five-week recommended sessions... I still continue to go on a regular basis. Thoroughly recommended".

IS TUINA MASSAGE PAINFUL TO RECEIVE?

 

No, unlike some sports massages that tend to use continuous pressure on tight muscles, Tui na focuses instead on gradually breaking down tissue restrictions by using a rolling technique, that stays in constant contact with the body. This is what really helps to simultaneously relax the central nervous system allowing the tissues to release more naturally.

 

However, if your body is restricted and requires deep tissue work, you may feel tender the following day, similar to a post workout. This is due to the pushing out of old blood and toxins that cause stagnation in the body. This is quite normal and nothing to worry about, I simply recommend to keep hydrated to help this detoxing process.  

 

Tui na massage techniques are intended to gradually release the tissue whilst also relaxing the central nervous system, making it a particular feel good massage to receive.

WHAT DOES TUINA MEAN AND WHERE DOES IT ORIGINATE?

 

Tui na (pronounced twee-nah) is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Its translation means to push and grasp. It is often used in conjunction with other TCM treatments such as acupuncture, herbalism, Qigong and nutrition.

 

It is often referred to as ‘acupuncture without needles’ making it ideal for anyone to receive, especially those with a phobia of needles but still want to receive the benefits of Chinese medicine.

CAN TUI NA HELP WITH MEDICAL CONDITIONS?

Tui na specialises in treating health related issues and physical injuries making it a unique form of massage because it uses a treatment protocol. It is also commonly given as a monthly health maintenance to keep the body in good shape by stimulating blood and qi flow.

 

There is a saying which states ‘prevention is better than cure’ this sums up why having regular Tui na sessions is an investment in your health and well-being.

"Molly is so calm, warm and welcoming. She literally flushed the pain out of my body or that is how it felt. Like many people, my life is stressful and manic and as a keen horse rider, my body takes a few knocks too. I use Tui na as a maintenance treatment now and I find the treatment has a wonderful warming and calming effect on me mentally whilst my body benefits enormously from the physical aspect of the massage and pressure point therapy. It gives me an underlying feeling of confidence and the ability to cope with life and its many daily demands without becoming overwhelmed or anxious. It kind of gives me a coping mechanism".

WILL I NEED TO REMOVE MY CLOTHING?

 

No, unlike other massage modalities Tui na is unique in that it works with friction through the clothes. It is often applied using a cotton sheet enabling the patient to feel a sense of relaxed modesty whilst maintaining a feeling of warmth and comfort throughout the whole session.

 

At times it might be necessary to apply healing ointments to localised areas, so clothing may need to be adjusted or removed.

WHAT OTHER BENEFITS WILL I RECEIVE?

 

I also provide nutritional advice based on the five elements, deep breathing techniques, spiritual guidance and exercise or stretch suggestions taken from my martial arts experience.

 

I also receive information intuitively from your energy field that help to provide energetic corrections. I can go deeper into this approach but would recommend booking a Quantum Healing Session to do this.

 

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO RECEIVE REGULAR TUINA SESSIONS? 

 

The Western lifestyle ushers us into a constant state of outer stimulation. With our neural pathways continuously receiving information as well as our additional daily pressures of work, family, homes, finances and hobbies. Without a practice this can lead to a back log of mental & emotional data that gets stuck and does not process easily due to the prolonged states of pressure. This becomes quite a drain on our overall energy levels.

 

When we experience this trapped mental and emotional stress, our tissues have a tendency to react by becoming stuck and rigid.  This restricts the flow of qi and can be a huge factor in causing blockages and stagnation in the body systems. So the need to maintain a balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system is vital for our state of health and well-being.  

 

The gentle yet vigorous Tui na techniques stimulate the peripheral nerves under the skin, thereby having a positive effect on the central nervous system. This helps relieve stress and tension often stored within the cellular memories of our body tissues, encouraging them to dissipate, leaving the body more malleable even after just one session.

 

This allows the mind to relax and has a re-energising effect on the body as well as an overall calming affect on our spirit.
