Asian Bodywork Therapy is an umbrella term for a variety of professions rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and evolving over 2000 years through the different cultural prisms of China, Japan, Korea, and Thailand. For example Tuina is an integral part of orthopedics in China. We integrate it as a perfect complement to acupuncture via subtle pressure and wrist-rolling activation of the meridians prior to or post needling.

Tui Na

Tui Na is suitable for ages 0-100. Normally it is applied over comfortable cotton clothing, allowing for mobility and ease of passive movement and stretches. Treatments are by appointment and last 45-60 minutes depending upon the ailment.

Can prevent and treat diseases by promoting blood circulation and energy flow. Facilitates healing of soft tissue injuries, improves joint mobility and nerve regulation, and adjusts the functions of the internal organs and cellular tissue metabolism. Techniques range from gentle, relaxing movements (rolling, vibration, rocking, thumb meditations, holding, pushing, grasping and passive range of motion) to deep and invigorating techniques (plucking, scrubbing, skin rolling). Work addressing specific problem areas of the body.
