Unlike relaxation-focused massages such as Swedish or deep tissue, Tui Na is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and focuses on therapeutic outcomes. It targets specific meridians and acupoints to treat both the physical body and internal imbalances. It can be invigorating or gentle, depending on your condition and treatment goals.

A typical session begins with a brief consultation to assess your health needs. You can remain clothed (wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes), and the practitioner will use various techniques to work on different areas of the body. Depending on your condition, your therapist may also integrate other modalities like fire cupping therapy or Gua Sha.

Tui Na should never feel painful, but you may experience some pressure or tenderness, especially in areas of tension or stagnation. Your therapist will always adjust the pressure to ensure your comfort while still delivering effective treatment.

The number of sessions varies based on your condition and treatment goals. Some people feel relief after just one session, while chronic or complex issues may require a series of treatments for lasting results. Your practitioner will create a personalized plan for you.

Yes! Tui Na complements other Traditional Chinese Medicine therapies such as acupuncture, cupping, herbal medicine, and moxibustion. It’s often used in combination to enhance results and support holistic healing.

Tui Na is generally safe for most people, including children and seniors. However, it may be modified or avoided for individuals with certain health conditions like fractures, acute infections, or high-risk pregnancies. Always inform your practitioner of any medical conditions before your session.
