Tuina therapeutic massage

The manual therapy of Chinese medicine

What is Tuina massage?

Tuina is a therapeutic massage rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and martial arts. Its goal is to harmonize the body’s vital energy (Qi) to address a wide range of physical and emotional imbalances.

This centuries-old manual therapy is based on the meridian system and acupuncture points. It treats the person as a whole—physically and emotionally. At once, it works on the soft tissues (fascia), joints, and energetic circulation. As a result, Tuina is a complete and holistic method that supports multiple systems of the body.

Session flow

Listening to your needs

Each session begins with a dedicated moment of listening to better understand your needs. This is followed by an energetic assessment and a conversation about which areas will be the focus of the treatment.

Tuina techniques

The massage includes a combination of specific Tuina techniques—such as pressure, stretching, and mobilization—applied to the targeted areas, meridians, and acupuncture points. Some techniques are more dynamic, while others are gentle and subtle. The intensity is always adapted to what your body needs.

Other techniques from Chinese medicine

Depending on your needs, complementary approaches such as moxibustion or cupping may also be integrated. In this way, the treatment becomes even more complete and deeply personalized.

Because your body deserves attention

Let yourself be held by a soft, nurturing approach.

Take a moment to recenter, release built-up tension, and reconnect with deep balance. Whether you're coming for a specific discomfort or simply to feel more at home in your body, each treatment is thoughtfully tailored to your needs.
