TUI NA

Tui Na (pronounced “Twee Nar”) is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine and is based on the same principles as Acupuncture, Chinese Herbalism and Qi Gong. Tui Na, although relatively new to the West, is practised throughout China and has been for over 4000 years. It is a deeply soothing body massage which incorporates Acu Pressure points being gently massaged throughout the treatment, rather than needled as in acupuncture. It is a medical treatment that treats root causes which may have existed within you for many years so it is likely to take more than one treatment to rebalance you. An in-depth diagnosis is undertaken during the first treatment. Gentle manipulations are used for specific problem areas such as lower back pain and frozen shoulder.

Tui Na is based on the flow of vital life energy (Chi) throughout a network of Channels or Meridiens in the body and the balance of Yin and Yang. To maintain health this energy must be balanced and must flow unhindered. Chi becomes unbalanced and blocked by our hectic lifestyles, poor diets, over/under exercising, emotional stress, inherited weaknesses, infections, injuries, toxic build-up etc. Tui Na rebalances Chi bringing harmony to mind, body and spirit, all of which are essential for good health. It leaves you with a deep sense of well-being as if your batteries had been thoroughly recharged.

Conditions: Tui Na can treat most conditions e.g. Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Ulcerative Colitis, Depression and other emotional problems, Migraine/headaches, Joint and Muscle pains and injuries, Backache, Insomnia, Panic Attacks, Irregular Periods, PMT Asthma, Hay fever, Sinusitis, Diarrhoea and Constipation, ME and many more.

Diagnosis is particularly important in Tui Na. Root causes are treated rather than symptoms. The first treatment last 1 ¼ hours with 45 minutes diagnosis and 30 minutes treatment (£38.50) All follow-up treatments last one hour (£33).

Tui Na Case History: A patient of mine has Lupus and before she came to me was on a daily dose of 30mg of steroid pills plus a multitude of other drugs, could only walk with 2 walking sticks, had long periods of being hospitalized, was constantly exhausted and in pain. She carried a Tense pain killing machine with her everywhere. I have treated her every 3 weeks for 2 years and she now takes 5mg steroids daily, walks without sticks, no longer carries her Tense machine, recently walked 5 miles and plays football with her son, has not been hospitalized for 2 years and leads a full and remarkably pain free life. Her improvements began after her first treatment and the continued treatments ensure her health remains good.
