Ancient Healing Arts
What is Tui Na and Qi Gong?
Tui Na and Qi Gong are traditional holistic forms of healing used in China for hundreds of years to achieve a complete health. Tui Na is a type of vigorous, deep massage which uses many different types of hand movement to stimulate the tissues and energy circulation and bring increased blood flow to problem areas of the body.
The massage movements can vary from deep massage to rhythmic pounding or quiet soothing circular movements over energy centers. It is Chinese pressure point therapy applied along important acupuncture meridians of the body and therefore works directly on the organs, it can release blockages in the energy flow and help to rebalance the energy throughout the body, the affects are similar to acupuncture, but without the use of needles.
Unlike Western massage which primarily focuses on muscles and soft tissue, Tui Na works on a deeper level by addressing the body’s vital energy or “Qi”. When Qi flows freely through the meridians, the body is in balance and health is maintained. Blockages or imbalances in this energy flow can manifest as pain, illness, or emotional disturbance. Tui Na techniques are specifically designed to restore this natural flow, making it a powerful tool for both treatment and prevention.
Core Techniques
The Foundations of Chinese Healing
Tui Na Massage
Vigorous deep massage using varied hand movements to stimulate tissues, energy circulation, and blood flow to problem areas.
Qi Gong Energy Work
Ancient practice of cultivating and balancing vital energy (Qi) through movement, breathing, and meditation techniques.
Dian Xue Point Therapy

A Holistic Approach to Health
Chinese Massage is not only for the athlete, but it can help sports or martial arts injuries, stress, body weakness and fatigue, back problems, headaches and other internal problems. It is a holistic treatment that addresses the root cause of health issues rather than simply masking symptoms.
Your Session
Treatments and their Effects
Treatments last an hour and are given either sitting or laying down, the patient should wear comfortable loose clothes and not eat a heavy meal for an hour before treatment. The massage can be very vigorous and sometimes a little painful, and the patient may experience tingling, an increased flow of energy and a deep internal relaxation. These sensations are normal.
Many patients report feeling profoundly different after their first session—a sense of lightness, clarity of mind, and renewed vitality that Western massage rarely achieves. This is the result of working with the body’s energy system rather than just the physical tissues. Regular Tui Na sessions can help maintain this balanced state and prevent the accumulation of stress and tension that leads to chronic health problems.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Tui Na
What is the difference between Tui Na and regular massage?
While Western massage primarily focuses on muscles and soft tissue relaxation, Tui Na works with the body’s energy system (Qi) along acupuncture meridians. The techniques are more varied—from deep vigorous movements to gentle circular motions over energy centers—and the goal is to restore energy balance throughout the body, not just relieve muscle tension. The effects are similar to acupuncture but achieved without needles.
Is Tui Na painful?
Tui Na can be quite vigorous and sometimes a little painful, especially when working on problem areas or releasing energy blockages. However, this is normal and part of the healing process. You may experience tingling sensations, an increased flow of energy, and a deep internal relaxation. The intensity can be adjusted to your comfort level, and any discomfort typically leads to significant relief afterward.
How should I prepare for my Tui Na session?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes as you will remain clothed during the treatment. Do not eat a heavy meal for at least an hour before your appointment. Treatment sessions last an hour and can be given either sitting or laying down depending on the areas being treated and your preference.
What conditions can Tui Na help with?
Tui Na is effective for a wide range of conditions including sports injuries, martial arts injuries, chronic stress and tension, body weakness and fatigue, back problems, headaches, and various internal problems. It’s not only for athletes—anyone can benefit from this holistic approach that addresses the root cause of health issues rather than simply masking symptoms.
What is Qi Gong and how does it complement Tui Na?
Qi Gong (also spelled Chi Gong) is an ancient Chinese practice of cultivating and balancing vital energy through gentle movements, breathing exercises, and meditation. While Tui Na is a hands-on treatment you receive, Qi Gong consists of exercises you can practice yourself to maintain energy balance between sessions. Together, they form a complete system for health maintenance and healing.
