Tui Na (pronounced twee-na) is an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Tried and tested over 4,000 years and regularly used by over one fifth of the worlds population, Tui Na is still relatively unknown in the West. It is a very powerful and effective system of healing that combines deep relaxing massage with joint mobilsation, gentle stretching and manipulation. In addition manual pressure is applied to acupressure points which works very successfully on the same principles as Acupuncture, but without the use of needles.

Tui Na's impressive success is due to this combination of therapeutic approaches, where adequate time is given by the therapist to thoroughly relax the muscles before joint mobilisation or manipulation takes place.  Acupressure is utilised to help trigger the bodies own healing mechanism and hasten recovery. Tui Na is extremely effective for easing all aches and pains, it is also a strong preventative treatment for promoting and maintaining general health.

"After about 90 minutes of this muscular steam-rollering you walk out feeling three inches taller and as supple, relaxed and stress free as a five year old."

Harpers & Queen, April 1997

"Ancient massage that will rock and roll your pain away."
