Tui Na & Acupressure
Tui Na is a traditional Chinese therapeutic massage practised for thousands of years. Using a range of hand techniques — pressing, kneading and rolling — the practitioner works on the muscles, joints and soft tissue, while acupressure applies focused pressure to specific points along the body's channels.
