Tight shoulders? Stiff hips? Feeling like your body has become locked up from training, work, or everyday life?
Tui Na, pronounced “twee-nah”, is a traditional Chinese style of deep tissue massage that combines hands-on massage, stretching, joint mobilisation, and acupressure techniques to help release muscular tension and improve movement.
Unlike many relaxation-focused massages, Tui Na is an active form of bodywork. Treatments can range from gentle and restorative through to deeper work designed to release stubborn areas of tightness and restriction.
Many clients choose Tui Na because they want something that sits between a conventional massage and a more clinical treatment approach.
People book Tui Na for many different reasons, from managing muscular tension and stiffness to supporting recovery after training, physical work, or long hours at a desk.
Your appointment begins with a short consultation to discuss your health, lifestyle, areas of tension, and what you would like to achieve from treatment.
During the session James may use a combination of deep tissue massage techniques, acupressure, joint mobilisation, stretching, and traditional Tui Na methods.
The exact treatment is tailored to you rather than following a fixed routine. Many clients leave feeling looser, lighter, and more mobile, with a greater sense of ease throughout the body.
For those wanting a more comprehensive Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment, Tui Na can be combined with acupuncture within the same appointment.
This combination allows hands-on treatment and acupuncture to work together as part of a single integrated session.
