Chinese ‘Tuina’ Massage

Chinese Massage Worcestershire

Can Tuina Massage Help Me?

Tuina massage offers effective support for many common health concerns. It is a key branch of Chinese medicine, and it treats both the root causes of illness and the symptoms you feel. Moreover, Tuina massage can feel deeply relaxing, making it especially helpful for stress-related conditions. Like other therapeutic massages, it also encourages healthy movement of Qi and Blood to maintain long-term wellbeing.

At our Chinese Massage Worcester, Worcestershire clinic, Tuina massage can stand alone or work alongside acupuncture and exercise therapy for even better results.

What to Expect During Tuina Massage

Tuina massage can be given while you lie down or sit in a comfortable chair. Most treatments do not require clothing removal unless herbal liniments need to be applied or if we use moxa, cupping or Gua Sha techniques. For comfort, we also use a covering sheet.

Before treatment, we take a full medical history and assess your tongue and pulse. The massage itself usually feels warm, rhythmic and soothing. Techniques vary, and your practitioner may use their hands, elbows, knees or even feet, depending on what your body needs.

Additional Chinese Medicine Techniques

Moxibustion:
A warming technique that uses dried mugwort to expel cold and damp, nourish Qi and support immunity.

Gua Sha:
A traditional scraping method that improves circulation, clears stagnation and releases heat.

Cupping Therapy:
Glass, silicone or plastic cups create suction to free Qi and Blood, ease pain, reduce swelling and dispel cold or damp.

Herbal Liniments:
These may be applied to reduce inflammation, improve circulation and relieve pain while complementing your Tuina treatment.

At Chinese Massage Worcester, Worcestershire, Tuina massage is tailored to your unique needs. Each session aims to ease discomfort, restore balance and support long-term health.

Testimonials:

Torn Cruciate Ligament
“After sustaining a torn cruciate ligament I was unable to walk unaided for four months. I was told I needed ligament reconstruction if I was ever to partake in any regular athletic endeavors again. Whilst waiting for my leg to unlock and my operation, I sought out a secondary opinion from the Kui De Tang Clinic. Their opinion was that I could avoid surgery with Chinese massage along with traditional kung-fu/qigong training to strengthen my leg. Within an hour of my first treatment I could stand and walk without crutches (something four months of physiotherapy had eluded). Over a year later I have 95% of my athletic ability back and am able to train five days per week. All without surgery, Amazing!”

Post Natal Depression/Under-active Thyroid
“I have recently had a course of treatments with J. Rodriguez at the Kui De Tang Centre, which was very effective. He was very professional, efficient and dealt with me sensitively. I had pain free acupuncture and massage. Although the neck massage was uncomfortable at first it became more enjoyable as the sessions progressed and my symptoms improved. The back massage was amazing, if you want a deep tissue massage that was the best. I had post natal depression, was on anti-depressants, winged scapula (shoulder blade) – which became more comfortable, had thyroid and hormone irregularities which made weight loss an impossibility.

After the treatments I came off the tablets and felt much brighter in myself. I felt I had regained some energy and self-worth. I gained some motivation to start an exercise programme and I lost some weight. After having a second blood test I also found that my hormone levels have returned to normal. After exercising I now drink goji berries in boiled water as they are rich in anti – oxidants and vitamins.


I recommend James to anybody for any ailment, as all his remedies are natural products and don’t just give short term pain relief but permanent solutions which can be really life changing.”
Many thanks

Post -Traumatic Stress Disorder
“I would like to say a very big thank you for all that you have done to help me. After struggling to cope with the effects PTSD has had on my life the Tui Na and Acupuncture treatment that I received has had a positive effect on me, greatly reducing my insomnia, stopping my headaches, restoring my appetite, relaxing my nerves, boosting my energy and giving me a fresh perspective on life. My lower back pain has gone allowing me freedom of movement, something that chiropractors and medication could not do. The prescribed medication I am on has now been reduced by half because of the effectiveness of the treatment.
Again many thanks for your understanding of my condition and your professional approach to helping me.”
Regards.
Charlie (Banbury).

Intense Anxiety & Depression

“I went to the Kui De Tang Centre because I was suffering from intense anxiety and depression and had already tried all sorts of other approaches, including anti-depressant medication. Within a month of having weekly massage/acupuncture treatments I felt significantly better; calmer, more energetic and much more my usual self. I intend to have regular ‘top up’ appointments with the Centre and would recommend it to others with similar symptoms. I do not fully understand how it works, but for me it has certainly contributed to my improved well-being.
