Tuina Massage

WHAT IS TUINA MASSAGE?

Der Name Tuina kommt aus zwei der Aktionen: Tui bedeutet «schieben» und Na bedeutet «heben und drücken». Die Tuina- oder Tui-Na-Massage (ausgesprochen twee-nah) stammt ursprünglich aus dem alten China und gilt als das älteste System der Körperarbeit. Es ist neben Akupunktur, Qi Gong und chinesischer Kräutermedizin einer der vier Hauptzweige der traditionellen chinesischen Medizin.

It is based on the theory that imbalances in qi, the body's vital life force or energy, can cause blockages or imbalances that lead to symptoms such as pain and illness. Tuina massage stimulates the flow of qi (chi) to promote balance and harmony in the body, using many of the same acupuncture principles.

It is similar to acupuncture in the way it targets specific acupuncture points, but practitioners use fingers instead of needles to apply pressure to stimulate those points. The Tuina massage is much more effective in combination with acupuncture.

WIE FUNKTIONIERT DIE TUINA MASSAGE?

The philosophy and principles of Tuina massage are based on traditional Chinese medicine, which focuses on the emotional and physical components of a person's wellbeing, as well as aspects such as climate, relationships, and diet. The underlying philosophy of Tuina massage is that true health is achieved when one has found harmony and balance in oneself and one's surroundings.

The goal of Tuina massage is to create harmony in the yin and yang of the body by removing blockages and disorders that manifest as illness, disease and emotional problems. Similar to acupuncture, Tuina massage uses the same energetic meridians and acupuncture points to balance the qi and blood in your body, resulting in better health. Incorrectly flowing Qi can lead to blockages, e.g. B. poor blood flow to the affected area. The main therapeutic goal of Tuina massage is to remove the energetic blockages that cause Qi (Chi) stagnation.
