Massage
We offer two styles of Chinese massage: tui na and acupressure.
In Chinese medicine, both work through the body’s channels, the same pathways acupuncture uses. Tui na works the muscles, tendons and joints over a broad area, while acupressure presses on individual points, the same ones we would needle.
What we use it for
Stiff necks
Shoulders that have set hard
Frozen shoulder
Where the joint work matters most
Low back & hip
Tightness that runs into the glute
Old strains
Injuries that healed short
Choosing between them
Tui na
Pressing, kneading, rolling and stretching across the back, neck and hips. Best for tight muscle and stiff joints.
Acupressure
Firm finger and thumb pressure held on acupuncture points, with no needles. A good fit if you’d rather not be needled.
We also offer foot reflexology
A separate treatment from tui na and acupressure, with slow, steady pressure worked across the soles of the feet. A calmer option, and welcome after a long day on your feet.
We ease off whenever you say, and most visits pair massage with needling.
