Tuina Massage in Singapore

Tuina therapy is proven to relieve muscle tightness, and this type of massage is popular among patients suffering from frozen shoulders.

The pain relief TCM programme is personalised to each customer’s individual needs and is specifically designed to target the root of each customer’s pain point. The Pain Relief TCM Programme may involve a consultation with our physicians to accurately determine the root of the problem, and may involve an acupuncture session. The hands-on body manipulation will also involve different techniques to cater to each customer’s specific needs, rather than regular Tuina to promote blood flow.

Rest after a Tuina massage. Your body will undergo a rebalancing after a Tuina massage session as it responds to the treatment.

Exercise that is too strenuous should be avoided. Avoid excessive exercise for several hours following the treatment to keep your body in a rest state.

Reduce your stress levels.

Drink plenty of water.

After Tuina, take a glass of warm water and refrain from taking a cold shower for at least an hour. Soreness, slight skin redness, and oedema are common in the days following therapy.

Unlike Western massage treatments, Tuina works with the body on a deeper energy level rather than only the muscles, bones, and joints. Tuina practitioners use their hands to feel the client’s energy and then manipulate the flow and distribution of that energy during the session.

Each Tuina session normally lasts for about 60 minutes, with about 30 to 40 minutes dedicated to the neck, back, and shoulders. The remaining time will be used to massage the limbs and head to ensure a well-balanced massage therapy session.

After Tuina treatment sessions, it is normal to experience soreness, swelling, and skin redness. These symptoms will slowly dissipate over the next few days.

You are recommended to follow up with the Tuina treatment at least once every week to prevent relapse so that any illnesses can be addressed to relieve your condition and enhance overall health.

Yes, you can do a Tuina treatment for sprains. Tuina can help relieve muscle sprains or strains, by enhancing the blood circulation of the affected area. We recommend you seek a formal diagnosis from a physician before starting any Tuina treatment.

Tuina can help address various physical ailments, including:

• Chronic fatigue, headaches, migraines.
• Frozen shoulder and pain in the shoulder, neck, upper and lower back and knee.
• Acute sprains and strains.

Besides this, Tuina can promote relaxation, muscle relief, and improve circulation. If you have doubts about whether you can benefit from Tuina, speak to a physician for more information.

While Tuina therapy is helpful for addressing various conditions, it isn’t a universal solution. As such, individuals with the following medical conditions should consult a healthcare professional for further advice before undergoing Tuina to prevent complications:

• Bone fractures
• Ligament tears
• Fevers
• Infections
• Malignant tumours
• Acute spine injuries
• Spinal cord compression.

For pregnant mothers, regular TCM Tuina is not advised as the pressure applied to the acupoints may affect the baby. However, you can seek a Prenatal Tuina treatment, as these are specially designed to meet your pregnancy needs, which minimises the risks for both the expectant mother and the foetus.

No, TCM Tuina massage is typically performed with the client fully clothed. However, wearing loose and comfortable attire is recommended to facilitate the practitioner’s manipulation of acupoints and meridians. Besides this, massage oil may be used on your neck, hands, and feet. However, this generally will not be affected by your clothes.
