Acupressure/Tuina/Deep Tissue Massage/Shiatsu is a traditional massage
therapy originally developed in Ancient China and today used in every Chinese hospital to help a wide range of conditions, particularly where Acupuncture and herbs have been less effective. Tuina literally translates as ‘push’ and ‘grasp’ and involves applying finger pressure to specific points on the Meridians whilst also incorporating gentle massage to directly influence the flow of Chi. Put simply, Tuina is like Acupuncture without the needles! As well as relaxing the body and mind by balancing chi and facilitating improved blood flow and the removal of toxic waste, Tuina is also used preventatively to protect health and build up immunity. Tuina is the basis upon which many Modern Complementary Therapies are based, including Shiatsu and Deep Tissue Massage, all of which can also be offered by your Chisense therapist.
