Tuina for Weight Management

When we take a holistic approach to our health, most symptoms are not the problem to be solved, but are instead a doorway to understanding what is going on beneath the surface. By allowing the body to heal what may be the root cause of a problem, the symptoms you experience will fade and new life will begin to take shape.  

Tuina (pronounced tween-ah) is an ancient technique that uses various massage-like movement with different sets of pressure, force and speed to promote the movement of qi and blood. Tuina helps to promote the movement of stagnant energy in the body and restore our yin and yang energies into balance. Accelerating the movement of blood, qi and fluids helps to rid the body of excess fat. Once we are back in balance, our bodies can work properly to ensure a healthy state of being.

Studies, such as the one cited here, have shown that regular Tuina sessions, combined with a healthy diet and exercise can support a healthy weight. Results will vary depending on how your body reacts to the Tuina experience, but like anything we do in life, consistency creates results. We suggest a Tuina session combined either with Cupping or Gua Sha once or twice per week.
