Ask Core De Vie..Tui Na
Dear CVD, I saw Tui Na on your list of spa services. What is Tui Na and what is it for? Tui Na (pronounced “Tway Na”) Massage originated in ancient China as a treatment for soft tissue damage, joint and tendon disease, and internal disorders. Tui Na massage therapists stimulate acupoints by deeply rolling, grasping, pressing, and rubbing problem areas. Activation of these energy points improves circulation of blood and qi, and realigns the structures of the body so it can properly heal itself.
Tui Na is very effective when combined with acupuncture because both treatments work to restore energy systems. Clients suffering from neck tension, frozen shoulder, lateral and medial epicondylitis, joint pain, and sciatica have reported being pain-free for the first time in months (or even years!) after treatment.In addition to soft tissue and join damage, Tui Na Massage is also effective for labor induction, gynecological issues, and general relaxation and stress reduction.
