Fort Lauderdale Tuina Therapeutic Massage

Tui na

Tuina massage is an important component of traditional Chinese recovery therapy in which diseases are cured by the operator's manipulations of the patient's body to stimulate the energy meridians, collaterals and points. The earliest record of Tuina treatment in China is in the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, a medical treatise published in the fifth century, B.C.

Tuina (Tui Na) uses the traditional Chinese medical theory of the flow of Qi through the meridians as its basic therapeutic orientation. Through the application of massage and manipulation techniques Tuina (Tui Na) seeks to establish a more harmonious flow of Qi through the system of channels and collaterals, allowing the body the naturally heal itself.

Tuina (Tui Na) methods include the use of hand techniques to massage the soft tissue (muscles and tendons) of the body, acupressure techniques to directly affect the flow of Qi , and manipulation techniques to realign the musculoskeletal and ligamentous relationships (bone-setting).

In a typical session, the practitioner examines the specific problems of the client and begins to apply a specific treatment protocol. The major focus of application is upon specific pain sites, acupressure points, energy meridians, and muscles and joints. The client usually feels relaxed but energized by the treatment.
