Tui Na Massage

Traditionally, Tui Na massage is used to regulate blood and lymphatic circulation and to regulate the flow of hormones. Nowadays, however, it is used mainly to counteract or alleviate painful symptoms of various kinds (joint pain, muscle pain, headache, neck pain, etc.).

The Tui Na massage is a particular type of Chinese massage that is characterized by numerous maneuvers and manipulations, skilfully combined with each other to offer a personalized treatment for each person.

The aim of the Tui Na massage is to ensure the maintenance and improvement, where necessary, of the flow of vital energy “Qi” that flows in the body of each individual within specific channels called meridians.

Generally, this treatment is used in case of:

Muscle and / or joint pain of different types;

Cervical pain;

Back pain;

Headache;

Sciatic pain;

Disorders due to alterations (generally not pathological) of the blood and lymphatic circulation;

Menstrual disturbances;

Abdominal swelling;

Stress and non-pathological anxiety states;
