Tuina is a traditional Chinese massage that combines kneading, pressure and stretching with work on the body's points and meridians according to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine. The aim is to release tension, get the energy flowing and restore the body's balance. Tuina tends to be more brisk and therapeutic than an ordinary relaxation massage.
How a Chinese Tuina massage works
Tuina combines kneading, pressure with the thumbs and palms, friction and stretching. I work with specific points and meridians on the body according to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine. The massage is usually more targeted than a classic relaxation massage, and I adapt it to whatever you need to release.
Depending on the chosen technique, Tuina is performed over light clothing or with oil.
The effects and benefits of Tuina
- Release of muscle tension and stiffness
- Support for circulation and the flow of energy

What to keep in mind
I do not recommend Tuina in cases of acute inflammation, fever, fresh injuries or during pregnancy without a consultation. Please inform me of any health limitations in advance so I can choose a safe approach.
