Chinese Therapeutic Massage & Acupuncture

Welcome to our Therapeutic Massage & Acupuncture Studio

Nestled in the heart of Auckland there lies a special place known only to a lucky few, who have had their bodies relaxed and their minds set free from stress and worry. This place, steeped in secret knowledge from the heart of the orient, is where many a weary soul has found themselves refreshed and rejuvenated at the hands of one of our talented Tui Na experts.

Tui na is a hands-on body treatment that uses Chinese taoist principles in an effort to bring the eight principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) into balance. The practitioner may brush, knead, roll, press, and rub the areas between each of the joints, known as the eight gates, to attempt to open the body’s defensive chi (Wei Qi) and get the energy moving in the meridians and the muscles. Techniques may be gentle or quite firm. The name comes from two of the actions: tui means “to push” and na means “to lift and squeeze.” Other strokes include shaking and tapotement. The practitioner can then use range of motion, traction, with the stimulation of acupressure points. These techniques are claimed to aid in the treatment of both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, as well as many non-musculoskeletal conditions.
