Tuina Massage in Zurich
Tuina is a holistic manual therapy method from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Together with Qi Gong, acupuncture, pharmacology, and Chinese dietetics, this effective massage method is one of the five pillars of TCM.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on the following basic idea: When our Qi (the life energy), blood, and body fluids, as well as our mind, get out of balance, this can lead to blockages. These blockages, in turn, cause physical pain, mental health problems, and even illness.
Through Tuina massage, the flow of Qi and blood is brought back into harmony. Similar to acupuncture, acupuncture points are stimulated, but with firm pressure of the fingers instead of needles. The therapist works along the energy pathways (meridians) and acupuncture points to release blockages and to bring the energy into its natural flow.

Procedure

Based onthat, the therapist creates a treatment plan according to the principles of TCM. Tuina is often combined with acupuncture, obviously only with the consent of the customer.
At the end of the treatment, the therapist leaves the room, and the client is allowed to rest for a few minutes and feel the after-effects of the massage.
The therapist often gives suitable exercises from Qi Ging or Yoga for the period between treatments. These can make a significant contribution to the success of a treatment.
