Tuina Massage is a complete system of medicine and along with acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine the main components of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is thought to be the oldest system of bodywork practiced today. It is a very effective therapy for stiff necks, distension of shoulder, sciatica and sore backs.
Most of the time I combine it together with muscle taping and magnets to speed up the healing process. Is an alternative therapy using magnets that are placed on the body to relieve pain. Magnets can be worn for various period of time, depending on the condition being treated.
Muscle pain, sciatica, sleeping disorders are only a few that can be mentioned. How does it work? When a magnet is applied to the body, muscles and soft tissues lengthen and relax, waves pass through the tissue and secondary currents are induced.
When those currents clash with magnetic waves, they produce impacting heat on electrons in the body cells. These impacting heats are effective in the reduction of muscle swelling and pain. Movement of hemoglobin in the blood vessels is accelerated, while calcium, cholesterol and lactic acid deposits in the blood are decreased. The fatigued blood is cleansed, and circulation is increased.
There is also significant evidence of pain blocking mechanism in nerve fibers themselves when subjected to magnetic fields. Is commonly used to improve symptoms associated with muscular-skeletal disorders. It supports and stabilizes joints, while allowing normal movement.
