A typical Tui Na session is practiced on a person dressed in comfortable clothes
lying on a massage table or sitting.
The pressure can be strong, medium but also very soft.
Digito pressure works by stimulating acupuncture points to treat internal diseases.
your questions
Is it true that Tui Na is painful ?
Indeed there can be vigorous or strong massages that can be painful or uncomfortable during therapeutic massages in particular . This is sometimes necessary to tone a muscle or an energy point so the practitioner must be able to communicate and the recipient to whom it is recommended to tell his feelings.
I mostly use Tui Na at the end of the session to allow my client to evacuate superficial tensions, most often located in the neck, shoulders, upper or lower back and limbs.
Are there any contraindications to receive a Tui Na ?
- Poor health in general.
- Fever
- Recent skin problems, dermatosis, wounds or scars.
- Recent surgery
- Inflammation of the joints,
- Infectious disease,
- Diseases related to bones and
- skeletal.
- Phlebitis,
- Heart problems
Do you use creams or oils for Tui Na ?
Tui Na is normally practiced on the person dressed, through the garment, or by putting a fabric on the massaged part.
It is possible for some deep massages to use a cream or oil. If you have allergies, I recommend bringing your own products.
