Tuina Massage

A very important and very overlooked aspect of Traditional Chinese Medicine is the Tuina Medical Massage.  This method is far different and far more comprehensive than any other type of Bodywork out there in the world.  Imagine all the benefits of TCM without the needles.  We can still work on you, give you herbal recommendations to address your underlying condition, and offer dietary assistance without the needles.  What this means is that you get a comprehensive medical session without invasive therapy.  The biggest hang-up people have to our medicine is fear of needles.  Acupuncture is only about 40% of what we do.  Tuina massage is an important bridge we can use to treat your condition.

In many cases we can address conditions with tuina alone over the course of sessions especially if chiropratic, physical therapy, or massage have not worked for your physical ailments.  Our bodywork is still based on your underlying energy networks we call meridians.  We move Qi in Tuina, something that other modalities don’t address.  Qi that is moving by definition cannot be in pain!!!  This is a fundamental definition of TCM and Qi.  So if you have back pain, neck pain, sciatic sensation, etc…your Qi is stuck.  With tuina massage we move this stagnation to alleviate your discomfort.

Tuina is meant to be invigorating and energizing.  All sessions are fully clothed and tend to be pretty intense.  But relieving at the same time.  It is even common practice to do general maintenance sessions that are non-specific to help revitalize your energy levels.

So don’t be scared-off by our big Acupuncture sign out front.  We are the only clinic in Chanhassen and the Southwest Minneapolis area that offer this type of therapy.  Come and get a session so you can feel the difference 952.294.9978 if you are in or around the Lake Minnetonka area.
