Tui Na massage – the main massage therapy at Pure WellbeingCo – originated in ancient China and is believed to be the oldest system of massage. It is one of the four main branches of traditional Chinese medicine, along with acupuncture, qi gong (an ancient Chinese exercise and healthing technique which involves mediation, controlled breathing and movement exercise) and Chinese herbal medicine.
Pure WellbeingCo founder and director, ShuQuan Liu,Doctor of TCMA, said Tui Na massage was based on the theory that when your qi (the body’s vital life force or energy) was unbalanced, a person could get pain or illness.
ShuQuan Liu,Doctor of TCMA, a Chinese medicine expert, said Tui Na massage stimulated the flow of qi to promote balance and harmony within the body.
He said in some ways this type of massage was similar to acupuncture as it targeted specific points of the body – but PureWellbeingCo massage therapists used fingers instead of needles to apply pressure.
The underlying philosophy of Tui Na massage is that true health is achieved when a person has found harmony and balance within themselves and their environment. The goal of this type of massage is to create harmony in the yin and yang of the body by getting rid of blockages that can manifest themselves as illness, disease or emotional issues.
Similar to acupuncture, Tui Na massage uses the same energetic meridians and acupoints to balance the qi and blood in your body, leading to better health.
