Tui-Na Massage at Pulse Acupuncture Practice, at Clifton, NJ

Tui-na massage, also called tuina massage (pronounced twee-nah), is a powerful form of Chinese medical bodywork that is used for a variety of conditions. Used in China for over 5,000 years, tui-na massage focuses on establishing a harmonious flow of the qi, or healthy energy, through the meridian channels by making use of rhythmic compression techniques. Tui-na massage is based on the same Oriental medical principles as acupuncture and is often used in conjunction with other treatment modalities, like acupuncture and cupping, to achieve optimal health for the client.

What is Tui-Na Massage?

Massage tui na originated in ancient China, and is now considered one of the oldest systems of bodywork. Tui-na wellness massage is one of the four main traditional Chinese Medicine branches, with others being qi gong, Chinese herbal medicine, and acupuncture. Tui-na practitioners generally use their fingers, hands, elbows, knees, or feet to apply pressure, kneading, stretching, and rolling to special body areas. Tui-na massage aims to restore the healthy balance within the patient’s body and promote a healthy positive energy flow within the body by applying pressure to specific muscle groups, nerves, meridians, and acupoints to remove the blockages that the practitioner identifies.

How Tui-Na Massage works?

Similarly to acupuncture, the Chinese tuina massage uses acupoints and energy meridians to promote a healthy qi (energy) and improve the blood flow in your body. However, unlike acupuncture, massage tuina uses applied pressure and manual manipulation instead of needles to stimulate the same 12 body points. It is believed that if the qi is blocked or not flowing properly, the result may be pain or a variety of illnesses, so tuina massage specialists focus on massaging the patient’s tendons and muscles to directly impact and improve the flow of qi at different acupoints. For a maximum result, many patients choose to utilize other treatment modalities that use the same principles of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine).

Tui-Na Massage Benefits at Pulse Acupuncture

For example, tui na massage techniques can be used to treat neck pain, lower back pain, migraines and headaches. In addition, tuina massage benefits include an improved blood flow, a relief from some diabetic symptoms and reduction of inflammation. On top of that, Tui na massage showed positive results when treating mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. This massage technique can also promote relaxation, reduce stress and provide insomnia relief. Conditions such as IBS, digestive and respiratory conditions, and sports injuries are also successfully treated by the tui na massage techniques. Though more research is needed, tui na massage is generally considered a great alternative to conventional medicine to treat a wide variety of conditions.

Dear Dr.Marina Doktorman,I hope this message finds you well! I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible impact your acupuncture sessions have had on my life. Your expertise and care have helped me find relief and healing in ways I never thought possible.When I first sought acupuncture, I was struggling with a combination of issues that affected my overall well-being. Chronic back pain was causing constant discomfort, and my restless nights were dominated by persistent night sweats. Additionally, I was battling frustrating skin issues that seemed to resist all other forms of treatment.From the very first session, I knew I was in good hands. Your thorough understanding of my concerns and willingness to explain the acupuncture process put me at ease. The ambiance of your clinic created a serene and comforting space, setting the tone for a transformative healing journey.What amazed me most was the efficacy of acupuncture in addressing my various health challenges. The impact on my sleep was nothing short of miraculous. After a few sessions, I began experiencing deep, uninterrupted sleep, waking up refreshed and energized—a change I had been longing for, but never found through other methods.Furthermore, the improvement in my skin condition was remarkable. Acupuncture seemed to trigger a healing response, and gradually, my skin issues started to fade away. I couldn't believe the visible transformation, and it did wonders for my self-confidence.As for the night sweats and back pain, they became less frequent and intense with each session. Your targeted approach and skillful needle placement directly addressed the root causes of my discomfort, providing much-needed relief and easing the burdens I had carried for far too long.I cannot stress enough how appreciative I am for the positive impact you've had on my life. Your dedication to helping your patients achieve better health and well-being is truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend your services to anyone seeking holistic and effective solutions to their health issues.Once again, thank you for your expertise, kindness, and genuine care. You have not only been my acupuncturist but also a catalyst for transformative change in my life. I am forever grateful for the healing journey we embarked on together.Thank you Dr. Marina Doktorman! Special shoutout to Olga for being so welcoming!

This place is awesome! Such a relaxing experience. Marina addresses all my concerns and always makes me feel comfortable. The treatments I received here have solved several of my health issues in just a few sessions after years of OTC medication. I would definitely recommend Pulse for serious health concerns and even if you just want some stress relief or add a new beauty treatment to your regimen! A+ for Marina Doktorman.

I was a patient of Marina Doktorma for about two weeks (October/November 2020), receiving acupuncture treatments for lower back and knee pain. Marina is a true professional. Before beginning each treatment, she explained the treatment options and made sure that I was well informed and comfortable before beginning. She was very gentle as she administered the treatments, (I feel asleep a few times) communicating with me throughout the process. In addition to the premise being very clean, relaxing music made for a very calming experience. Without hesitation, I would return for future treatments if the pain returns. Kenny.

How is a Tui-Na Massage performed?

A Tui-Na session typically involves deep tissue massage and manipulations, often quite vigorous, with the goal of relieving tension in muscles and joints. The practitioner may also use range of motion, traction, and massage, with the stimulation of acupressure points. The patient is usually clothed during the session.

Is Tui-Na Massage painful?

Tui-Na Massage can be intense, and some techniques may feel more uncomfortable than others, particularly if the body is already in a state of tension or affected by injuries. However, the massage should not cause excessive pain. It’s crucial to communicate with your practitioner throughout the session if you feel any discomfort.

Are there any potential side effects or risks of Tui-Na Massage?

Side effects of Tui-Na Massage are generally mild but can include temporary soreness or bruising. More severe complications are rare, especially when the massage is performed by a qualified practitioner. However, people with certain health conditions, such as osteoporosis, heart disease, or certain skin conditions, should consult a doctor before receiving Tui-Na Massage.

How often should I have a Tui-Na Massage?

The frequency of Tui-Na Massage sessions depends on the individual’s health status and their response to the therapy. Some people may benefit from weekly sessions, while others might need it less frequently. This should be determined in consultation with the practitioner.
