Heal your Mind, Body and Soul
with Central Earth Acupuncture, Cupping & Massage
A Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in Aiea, HI
The Chinese tuina massage is a form of therapeutic massage based on the ancient Chinese bodywork system. Its roots lie in oriental medical principles, which seek to improve the flow of qi (or energy) in your body’s meridians. Apart from addressing illness, discomfort and pain, the Chinese tuina massage could be a form of preventative care.
There are many health benefits of massage therapy, and different types of massage therapy provide somewhat different health benefits.
Tuina belongs to the 5 main pillars of Traditional Chinese Medicine along with Chinese dietetics, acupuncture, herbal therapy, and movement therapies such as qi gong and tai chi. Practitioners of the Chinese tuina massage believe that when there are blockages and imbalances in your meridians, illness or pain can commence.
Tuina (pronounced twee-nah) literally means ‘pinch and pull’ to stimulate qi flow, and promote total body harmony.
This massage is aptly named, because you will feel this pinch and pull during the massage therapy session. This treatment is somewhat similar to acupuncture since it targets pressure points on the body.
Practitioners of the Chinese tuina massage rely on their fingers, hands, elbows, and the knees to apply pressure and stimulate pressure points.
Tuina is also referred to as the ‘high art of physical touch.’
Tuina has a whole range of benefits from treating body pains, addressing specific illnesses, alleviating stress, enhancing sleep, and maintaining overall health and wellness. It is complementary to Western medicine, especially for injuries or conditions related to the musculoskeletal or nervous system. Best of all, it works well for people of all ages.
This typically targets muscles and joints to restore function. In contrast, yang is more physical, dynamic, and active to create more stimulating sensations for unblocking knots and using full body (nei gung) manipulation techniques to realign the whole body.
In general, various techniques are used to meet your specific needs.
To enhance your tuina massage experience herbal remedies and natural healing salves are utilized as complementary treatments. Tuina massage relies on the same techniques that are used in acupressure, reflexology, myofascial release, osteopathy, and chiropractic mobilizations. The basic techniques of tuina are:
Holding (na)
Kneading (mo)
Lifting (ti)
Opposing (duan)
Palpating (mo)
Pressing (an)
Pushing (tui)
Rejoining (jie)
This treatment is safe and well-tolerated by a wide range of people. Please do take note that this is not always a gentle massage, so you could feel discomfort when you’re pinched, pulled, and pressed on during the session.
