In China, Tui-Na massage techniques and acupuncture deal with conditions which, in many countries, are also treated by osteopaths, chiropractors and physiotherapists or with drugs. Chinese healing techniques have spread beyond China as a viable and useful alternative treatment. Its massage and acupuncture techniques, refined in hospitals in China and other countries, are used in medical and paramedical practices all over the world.

Services
The Chinese massage and acupuncture practice in Truro offers a number of traditional Chinese healing and body care techniques in Cornwall. Over the years our practice has created a loyal client base. Traditional Chinese healing techniques have been practised for thousands of years, not only in China but also in neighbouring countries.
We practice a Chinese needling method handed down by Taoist ancestors 1700 years ago. The therapy concentrates on hand acupuncture, ear acupuncture and foot acupuncture. It has refined over the centuries, over the last century by hospitals and is currently the main stream for acupuncture taught by the UK Academy of Chinese Medicine.
Chinese massage speeds up the internal working of the body. Some clients may feel a bit sleepy afterwards. Some feel thirsty, they are all normal reactions. Our advice is to rest after treatment and drink some water to rehydrate. We have drinking water or Chinese tea available. Strong drinks such as alcohol or highly caffeinated drinks should be avoided for one hour.
One of the earliest documentations about the purpose of massage and acupuncture is in the Chinese classic Documents of Internal Medicine, dating back to 2300 BC. This is an imperial report giving an overview of healing, body repair and body maintenance. Taoist cloisters which had collected medical and anatomical knowledge.

I have been here many times and they always give me a great massage. They DON'T do that annoying thing that other places do and wander off to answer the phone halfway through. A nice relaxing atmosphere and a really good massage in a little gem at the heart of the city. Thoroughly recommended
