About the therapy
Massage within Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese massage includes techniques such as Tui Na, using pressing, kneading, rolling and stretching movements. Treatment is adapted to the area being worked on and may feel different from a spa massage.
Before beginning, the practitioner asks about symptoms, injuries, surgery, medication and any areas you do not want treated. Pressure should always remain within your comfort and can be changed or stopped at any time.
What to expect
- A discussion of relevant health history and preferences
- Clear consent before hands-on treatment
- Pressure and positioning adjusted for comfort
- Appropriate draping and privacy
- Simple aftercare and follow-up guidance
Useful information
Frequently asked questions
What should I wear?
Comfortable, flexible clothing is useful. The practitioner will explain whether an area needs to be uncovered and will maintain appropriate draping and privacy.
Can massage be combined with other therapies?
It may be offered on its own or incorporated with acupuncture, moxibustion or cupping when suitable. You can choose whether to accept any suggested combination.
When should I postpone massage?
Seek advice first if you have a fever, infection, suspected clot, acute injury, unexplained swelling, recent surgery or another condition that may make massage unsuitable.
