What might I notice?
Massage may offer short-term relief for some discomfort. Evidence does not establish that one massage style works better for everyone.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
Your visit, explained.
Tuina is a Chinese massage tradition using hands-on soft-tissue techniques. Ask your practitioner how they will tailor the session to you.
Before your visit
Describe your goals and any injuries, medications or health conditions. Discuss sensitive areas and pressure before starting.
After your visit
Notice how you feel before returning to demanding activity. Gentle movement may help if muscles feel tender.
Possible side effects
Temporary discomfort or soreness can occur with bodywork. Vigorous pressure can cause injury, particularly in people at greater risk.
When should I return?
Decide together after reviewing comfort and response. A traditional approach does not require a fixed number of visits.

ASK US ANYTHING
Common questions.
How long is the session?
The current booking menu lists a 60-minute Chinese Tuina session for $80.
Is Tuina the same as Swedish massage?
The techniques and style differ. Tuina draws on traditional Chinese bodywork, while Swedish massage commonly uses flowing strokes and kneading.
Can I ask about clothing or preparation?
Yes. Call the clinic for preparation instructions for your selected session.
Is tuina the same as acupuncture?
No. Tuina is hands-on massage; acupuncture involves needles.
Can pressure be adjusted?
Yes. Explain what feels comfortable, and ask to pause or reduce pressure when needed.
Is it always better than Swedish massage?
No. Discuss the experience you want rather than assuming one method is best.
Can it replace assessment of a new problem?
No. Unexplained or persistent symptoms should be assessed by a healthcare provider.
