Why Choose “Tui-na Massage” from
BM Aesthetics?

Tui-na (pronounced ‘twee-nah’) is a form of Chinese therapeutic massage. ‘Tui’ meaning to push and ‘Na’ to grasp.

Tui-Na uses rhythmic compression along energy channels of the body, as well as a variety of techniques that manipulate and lubricate the joints. Like acupressure, Tui-Na directly affects the flow of energy by holding and pressing the body at acupressure points.

Does Tui-na Massage Hurt?

Whilst Tui-Na isn’t a spa treatment, when carried out by an trained practitioner it shouldn’t be painful either. Some Yang techniques (more dynamic and active) may be a little uncomfortable for a short time. Your practitioner will check in with you throughout the treatment to ensure it isn’t too uncomfortable and recommend any at-home aftercare.

Depending on your pain, illness or condition, your TCM practitioner may use techniques such as kneading, tapping, gliding, rolling, pressing or pulling to stimulate the positive energy and reduce stagnant energy which could be causing pain.
