Tuina massage in Berlin-Friedenau

Therapeutic touch for body and mind

What is Tuina?

Therapy with the hands – deeply rooted in traditional Chinese medicine

Tuina (pronounced “Tui-na”) is a manual therapy within traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It combines elements of massage, acupressure and mobilization techniques and has been used for thousands of years to treat physical complaints and regulate the flow of energy in the body.

In contrast to classic wellness massage, Tuina aims to have a therapeutic effect: Targeted hand movements, stretches and pressure techniques are used to stimulate meridians, release blockages and stimulate the body’s own healing processes. The treatment is always based on TCM diagnostics – individually adapted to your complaints and constitution.

How does Tuina work?

Effect from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine

Tuina supports the free flow of Qi (life energy) and body fluids along the meridians. Acupressure points, muscles and joints are used to influence the energetic balance. Stagnation is released, fullness or emptiness is balanced – the body finds its way back to its natural harmony.

Effect from a modern medical perspective

The positive effects are also evident from a conventional medical perspective:

The particular strength of Tuina therapy lies in the combination of manual precision and energetic depth.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Tuina massage

Is Tuina painful?

As a rule, patients find the treatment beneficial. In the case of very tight tensions, there may be an intense feeling of pressure – but we always adjust the intensity individually.

Tuina is a medical treatment based on the principles of TCM. The aim is not just relaxation, but the targeted alleviation of complaints and regulation of Qi.

For acute complaints, just one session can bring relief. For chronic issues, we recommend a series of 5-10 treatments.

Private health insurance companies and supplementary health insurance companies often cover part of the costs. Statutory health insurance companies usually only pay for certain diagnoses. Please clarify the details directly with your insurance company.
