Tui Na Massage

Tui Na (pronounced “twee nah”) is an ancient form of Chinese therapeutic massage that focuses on balancing the body’s energy and promoting natural healing. At Head Pain Clinic, we use Tui Na as a targeted approach to treat both muscular and neurological pain by addressing the root cause of discomfort—whether it stems from tension, inflammation, nerve impingement, or energy blockages.

Tui Na involves a combination of hand and arm techniques, such as kneading, pressing, rolling, shaking, and stretching. These movements are used to massage and realign muscles, bones, ligaments, and tendons. This physical manipulation helps release built-up tension in the muscles, improve blood circulation, and restore mobility to areas affected by stiffness or injury. Tui Na is particularly effective for conditions like neck and shoulder pain, lower back discomfort, sciatica, repetitive strain and sports injuries.

In addition to its physical techniques, Tui Na shares similarities with acupuncture by stimulating pressure points throughout the body. These acupressure points are connected to the body’s meridians—pathways through which vital energy (Qi) flows. By activating these points, Tui Na can regulate the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and ease pain caused by nerve dysfunction or compression, including migraines and nerve-related facial pain.

Unlike general massage, Tui Na is a clinical practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that works to harmonize the body's internal systems. Whether your pain is chronic or acute, muscular or neurological, Tui Na offers a drug-free, non-invasive treatment that supports long-term healing and pain relief.
