Massage
From the earliest history of Chinese medicine, massage has always been important. Sometimes, when it hurts, it just needs to be rubbed! Chinese massage, or “Tui Na”, evolved over the same multiple thousand year history as acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. It’s been researched and tested and perfected in the Imperial Academy of Medicine from the Song to the Qing dynasties. Not only can it treat aches and pains and all the things you love getting massages for, but Tui na has advanced to a point where skilled practitioners can use it to treat anything and everything—all the same things you’d come to acupuncture for. That includes digestive, gynecological, musculoskeletal, mental-emotional, auto-immune and more.
Massage is especially helpful for treating our pediatric patients. Not only do they love the experience, but we also teach parents some massage techniques to be able to do treatment for your loved ones at home.
All of our doctors of acupuncture are highly trained in performing a variety of styles of tui na. Booking a 60 minute or a 90 minute massage is ideal for any patients that are afraid of needles, or really for anyone who just plain wants a massage! With our doctor’s depth of knowledge and clinical experience, it means that every session with them is much more than just relaxing, it’s truly therapeutic!
