Tui Na, dian xue, massage are best suited for rectifying chronic pain, stress related disorders and traumatic conditions (sprain, strain, contusion, fractures, joint and connective tissue diseases). For those who engage in fitness and exercise activities, incorporating Chinese massage into your routine can help you get in better shape faster, with less stiffness and soreness while aiding in recovery from heavy workouts. Joseph’s experience is in treating injuries associated with martial arts as well as those encountered during most sports activities.

Because it tends to be more specific and intense than other types of bodywork, tui na, dian xue massage may not necessarily be used to sedate or relax a patient. The type of massage delivered can be quite vigorous. In fact, some people may feel sore after their first session. Often times, the effects of treatment are immediate ( pain relief, decrease in symptoms, increased energy, flexibility and an ability to function). With other disorders, it may take time with results coming more subtly.
