TUINA MASSAGE
What is Tuina?
Tuina is a Chinese medical massage and is one of the oldest Chinese
therapies. It uses manipulative movements and varying degrees of
pressure on special areas to correct imbalances, relieve pain and
achieve harmony in the body’s system. It is used to heal injuries, cure
and prevent illnesses and maintain health.
How does it differ from Western Massage?
Chinese Medicine holds that imbalances in the circulation of Qi are at
the root of a body’s illness. Therefore. Tuina massage was developed
for healing purposes, rather than just relaxation and enjoyment.
The patient does not need to remove clothing
as Chinese massage does not usually use oils directly on the skin.

under five.

ACUPRESSURE

acupuncture points and achieve changes in the body. The choice of
acupuncture points is based on the same type of diagnosis that is used
in acupuncture with needles. Acupressure is a non-invasive form of
treatment.
Electro-acupunture can also be used instead
of needles. This works in the same way as acupuncture, but using a small
electric current.

ACUPUNCTURE
What is Acupuncture?
According to ancient Chinese philosophy, our health is dependent on the
body’s motivating energy-Qi-moving in a smooth and balanced way through
a series of channels beneath the skin. These channels are called
meridians.
Acupuncture is performed with sterile, disposable needles. These very fine
and solid needles are inserted into the skin (meridians) to stimulate the
energy flow, help overcome pain or disease and restore harmony.
AURICULAR
EAR-PATCH ACUPUNCTURE
What is Ear-Patch Acupuncture?
There are many points on the ear which connect to the meridians in the
body. Ear-patch Acupuncture therapy regulates the nerves and vital energy
flow.
A tiny bean is taped tightly to an ear acupuncture point and is pressed
so as to stimulate the point. This bean is retained in the ear point for
about a week. This acts as a form of mild acupressure.
After treatment you should press the taped points for one or two
minutes, three times a day.
CUPPING THERAPY
What is Cupping?
A burning taper is held inside the glass, which expels all oxygen and

into the cup. Cupping increases circulation, alleviates pain and
encourages Qi. (You will notice red
bruises where the cups have been. These will fade after a few days).
