Chinese massage

Chinese massage (Tui Na) is more than just massage. It helps to restore balance on several levels at once: physically, energetically, spiritually. It brings your being back into a state of harmony, from which everyday life can sometimes disturb it, and in the process, your body relaxes.

The treatment also has a beneficial effect on various physical and mental complaints, aches and pains, and well-being by restoring the body’s energy flow. It is used as part of general medicine in its native country.

It can be beneficially used for example:

• musculoskeletal (joint, muscle) complaints, back pain, lower back pain, stiff neck/shoulder, discomfort due to sedentary lifestyle,
• stress, fatigue, nervous system problems, sleep problems,
• digestive problems (constipation, diarrhoea, stomach pain),
• colds, weakened immune system,
• internal organ diseases,
• gynaecological problems,
• headaches

Chinese massage is a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and is used by doctors in their own country, along with acupuncture, acupressure, moxa, sputum, and herbal therapy. The method is based on the knowledge that life energy, “Qi” (chi), flows through the body along energy channels, the so-called meridians, and the quality of this energy influences the state of our body and soul, our well-being and our energy levels. If the flow of energy is disturbed, it causes physical symptoms and later diseases. The causes of these disturbances are wide ranging: from external factors (e.g. weather, accidents) to lifestyle (stress, activity-rest ratio, diet, posture, etc.) to internal factors (typical thought patterns, long-lasting difficult emotions). The sooner we notice the imbalance in ourselves and the sooner we take action to restore balance, the easier it will be to do so.

In the Chinese massage, we release the energetic blocks and tensions in the meridians, balance the deficiencies and overactivities by applying gentle or stronger grips and pressures, and by touching the acupressure points. We show the consciousness of our cells how to restore the correct functioning of itself. In this way, the body’s self-healing processes are triggered at both the physical and mental level, and the balance of our system is restored. It can be used not only for ailments, but also as a preventative and wellness tool when we feel we could use a little care.

Tui Na massage treatment is based on a holistic approach, treating the whole person, not just the material body.

The balance, if upset, can damage our Wholeness. If we notice and help to restore the correct functioning of our body-mind, our body will thank us for our care and we will feel that all is well.
