Why Tui Na Massage?
Tui Na is a deep tissue massage and literally means push and grab. It incorporates the Traditional Chinese Medicine theory that injury or disease causes blockages in the channels of the body. Blockages cause pain.
Similar to a sports massage, but also incorporating acupressure points, an array of techniques are used, which the therapist will use to remove tension/spasm in the muscles and blockages of Qi (energy) in the channels. It works the muscles helping them to relax, removing stagnation and allowing the blood to flow more freely, giving the muscle the optimum chance of repairing itself. Then it works with restoring the body’s balance. Tui Na presses on certain acupressure points in the body’s meridian system to stimulate the body’s own healing process.
The client will either lie down or be seated, depending on their condition or age. There is no need to remove any clothing, only coats, shoes and jewellery. The client will be covered with a cotton sheet or though the clothes, as that facilitates the techniques used. Therapeutic oils are used only on the hands, feet, face & neck. Please wear loose clothing and no jeans for treatment.

What our customers say…
Nicci totally put me
at ease.
“Having suffered with rotator cuff shoulder injury and a sore neck, I went to see Nicci for acupuncture and Tui Na treatment massage. She totally put me at ease as had never had either treatment before. Following a full consultation, I had several sessions which has improved my pain and mobility, so I can now play badminton again – I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nicci – a total professional!.”

I’m fixed, now I just go for a top up.
“I recently had treatment for both knee and back pain – which I’ve suffered with for years. A couple of sessions later i’m fixed. I now just go for a top up as and when required”
— Mr C, Sherfield On Loddon
The next day the pain was almost gone.
“I went to see Nicci with severe lower back pain that was affecting my mobility and making it difficult to walk. Nicci completed a thorough history and examination before applying the needles. When I woke up the next day the pain was almost completely gone - the best my back has felt in years. I would highly recommend a session with Nicci if you suffer from back pain”
