Tuina Massage at Pulse Acupuncture Practice, at Brooklyn, NY

Tuina 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 Tuina Massage?

tui na massage near me

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, asian 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).

To understand what I'm talking about, you have to try it for yourself.After 10 minutes of the procedure, you get into a different reality. Marina is knowledgeable, answers all the questions. After the procedure, the skin of the face glows, the body becomes lighter by a couple of pounds. I've been looking for such a procedure and state of mind for a long time.

Pulse Acupuncture is exactly what I’ve been looking for to treat my migraines! Marina is knowledgeable, professional, asks probing questions and does fire cupping! She also has a very serene and clean office that makes me feel so relaxed and I never feel rushed during my sessions. Marina is truly incredible - her treatments help me mitigate migraines and I highly recommend her for any acupuncture/holistic health needs!! (I’ve tried other practitioners in the area and none have compared to Marina’s experience and professionalism.)

When I first came to Marina, I felt constant pressure in my lower back, tension in my upper back and lack of energy. During the first session I could literally feel something shifting inside in those areas she was working on. Her touch was so gentle that I didn’t even feel the needles go in. The time stopped, I was relaxed, calm and peaceful. Besides acupuncture I had some cupping done as well. The cups relieved a great deal of pressure from my upper and lower back. After the session I immediately felt the effect. Have my next session scheduled for next week. I would definitely recommend Marina to those seeking holistic ways to deal with muscle, spine, and pain issues. She is a miracle worker!

I’ve had great acupuncture experience at Pulse Acupuncture. Marina was able to fix my neck strain in just one treatment. It was not painful and actually very relaxing. Cupping and massage followed after acupuncture session. This was the most relief I’ve had in a long time. Loved the healing vibe of this beautiful studio.

Tuina Massage in Brooklyn - FAQ

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.

Tuina 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.

Side effects of Tuina 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.

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.
