RMT Massage
Our RMTs personalize each treatment with Tuina techniques to address tension, stiffness, and limited mobility. Tuina may help with concerns such as neck pain, shoulder discomfort, back tension, sciatica, and muscular tightness.
What is Tuina Massage?
Tuina (pronounced “twee-nah”) is a traditional Chinese massage therapy technique that combines pressure, kneading, rolling, and stretching movements. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Tuina has been practiced for centuries as a hands-on approach to promoting balance, encouraging healthy movement, and addressing areas of tension.
Unlike a standard relaxation massage, Tuina focuses on specific areas of tightness, stiffness, and discomfort, considering how different parts of the body work together. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, Tuina takes a personalized approach, with techniques adapted to each individual’s needs.
How Does RMT Tuina Massage Work?
During your RMT Tuina massage session, you remain clothed in a calming open-space setting while your therapist uses targeted methods (e.g., kneading, pressing, rolling) to encourage muscle relaxation, mobility, and wellness.
