ANCIENT TUI NA TECHNIQUES IN MODERN APPROACH
TCM TUINA MASSAGE - THE ULTIMATE PAIN RELIEVE
WHAT IS TUI NA?
什么是推拿
Tui Na is a therapeutic massage used in ancient China that has been around for over 2,000 years. It combines the elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) knowledge, to treat & heal the body ache.
This Chinese therapy make use of rhythmic compression techniques along different energy channels of the body to establish harmonious flow of "Qi" throughout the body and bringing it back to balance. It works deeply with the positive energy of the body.
推拿综合了中医古方疗法，通过经脉穴位来调节身体机能，修复肌肉损伤、加速新陈代谢，以达到身体调理、治病防病之功效。推拿通过疏通身体的“气”，舒筋通络，平衡身体的回复和治愈力。
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TUINA AND NORMAL MASSAGE？
推拿与一般按摩的分别
Normal body massage works on superficial skin tissues to relax muscle tension, some like Javanese type works on a stronger pressure to relief harder areas. It may soothe the ache instantly but the result usually couldn't last long as the “source of pain/blockage” hasn't been clear thoroughly.
TCM Tui Na technique works along meridians of the body to stimulate "Qi"(气) to remove blockage in the body. Overall, Tui Na's sensation is more painful than usual massage, The only reason is it works along blockage meridians areas which is the source of aching problem.
一般身体按摩属于表皮按摩，主要舒缓精神和肌肉紧张，让酥酸肌肉得到暂时的松解。当中也有力道较强的爪哇式按摩，但与中医推拿法有一定不同。推拿也是以揉、推、搓等手法，感觉相似，但运作位置却不一样。推拿顺着人体经脉位置，疏通气堵部位，从根部解决问题。推拿一般感觉比普通按摩痛，主要原因倒不是力道的问题，而是推拿“对症下药”，不是在皮肤表面搓揉而已，而是针对有问题部位和堵塞之处搓揉，因此痛感较甚。
BENEFITS OF TUINA?
推拿的好处
The main benefit of Tui Na massage is that it focuses on the specific problem, whether it is an acute or a chronic pain associated with the joints, muscles or a skeletal system. This technique is very beneficial in reducing the pain of neck, shoulders, hips, back, arms, highs, legs and ankle disorders. It is a very effective therapy for arthritis, pain, sciatica and muscle spasms. Other benefits of this massage therapy include alleviation of the stress related disorders like insomnia, constipation, headaches and other disorders related to digestive, respiratory and reproductive systems.
The greatest advantage of Tui Na is that it focuses on maintaining the overall balance of both physical and mental health. Anyone who wants to avoid the side effects of drugs or a chemical based treatment can adopt this effective massage technique to alleviate their pain. Tui Na massage therapy is now becoming a more common therapy method due to its focus on specific problems rather than providing a general treatment.
推拿较“对症下药”，不但能治疗肌肉酸痛、对脊椎错位、内脏失调等都具有疗效。但推拿是保健，不能当治病管道，有慢性疾病者仍须寻医。长期进行推拿通经络，对放松筋络、增进循环、消除疲劳，甚至更针对性的失眠、头痛、脾胃问题等都有所帮助。推拿适合任何年龄和身体状况，但孕妇和癌症病患则不建议。
