Tuina massage

Tuina massage is a therapeutic treatment within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). At the Vital and Wellness Hotel Zum Kurfürsten, it is performed by naturopaths with several years of specialized training in TCM. Tuina massage is performed using a cloth, without oil. The massage is carried out along the meridians and acupuncture points using pressure, pushing, and pulling movements with the fingers, hands, and elbows. The therapist may also use their entire forearm. Tuina primarily serves to activate Qi, the vital energy. By stimulating the meridians, blockages in the flow of Qi are released, and blood circulation is improved. Tuina massage is a very effective alternative to acupuncture for patients who are too sensitive to it. The TCM specialists at the Vital and Wellness Hotel Zum Kurfürsten particularly recommend Tuina massage for headaches and backaches, musculoskeletal disorders, nervousness, exhaustion (including burnout), palpitations, and sleep disturbances. Tuina massage can be used as a draining massage or a strengthening massage. These two types of Tuina massage from Traditional Chinese Medicine are distinct. For example, on one visit you might receive a gentle and slow draining massage, working clockwise against the flow of the meridians. On a subsequent visit, the therapist might diagnose a need for a strengthening massage. In this case, the massage would be more vigorous and work counterclockwise along the meridians.
