What is Asian Tuina BodyWork?
TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE PERSPECTIVE
in the Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophy, when the body
contains two opposite forces and a delicate balance, the body is
healthy. Energy, called "qi" flows like rivers along pathways, or
meridians,
throughout the body. This constant flow of energy keeps the yin and
yang balanced. However, the flow of energy can sometimes be blocked,
like water getting stuck behind a dam. A disruption in the flow of
energy can lead to illness.
Approximately 2,000 different acupuncture
points lie along the body's meridians. The idea behind
acupuncture is that stimulating these points with acupuncture
needles or pressure relieves obstructions in the flow of energy,
enabling the body to
heal.
Tuina Tuina is essentially the Chinese
version of Western Massage Therapy. It utilizes the theories of
Traditional Chinese
Medicine (TCM) and has been practiced,
researched and improved upon over many years in China. Many
acupuncturists in both the west and the east utilize Tuina (with or
without acupuncture) to facilitate the removal of physical blockages
caused by tension a/or alignment
problems.

Why should I see a
Bodyworker?
Bodywork is one of the oldest forms of medicine. It
is based on the idea that muscle tension and improper alignment may
cause a/or contribute to physical, mental and internal imbalances.
The techniques are focused on reducing tension within the body and
improving the structure to facilitate the free flow of blood and
energy.
When this
flow of blood and energy has improved, the major systems of the body
(immune, circulatory, nervous, etc.) will be better able to
naturally heal disease and to promote health and
well-being.
What conditions can Bodywork treat?
As with many Complementary and
Alternative Medicine techniques, bodywork may be used to treat a
very broad range of conditions. Generally, it excels at those which
involve physical pain and/or structural misalignments. The nervous
and circulatory systems of the body, however, are crucial in
promoting health and wellbeing as well as healing disease and
bodywork has the potential to greatly improve the functioning of
these systems.
What will my first Bodywork treatment be
like?
Your first bodywork treatment generally
involves a discussion with your practitioner regarding your health
history and current health issues. Depending on the modality, then,
you will be treated either lying down or seated, with or without
clothing. Most treatments last approximately an hour and usually
include work on your area of concern as well as your body in
general. Most people find bodywork extremely relaxing, however, some
of the deeper techniques such as those occasionally employed in some
western massage therapies, rolfing and tuina may be mildly
uncomfortable. Discomfort is often felt in the areas with the
highest degrees of tension and the value of work in those areas
cannot be overemphasized. Over time you should notice the discomfort
in those areas abating as well as improvement in your overall
health.
