How Does TCM Work?
TCM seeks to restore balance between Yin and Yang holistically, ensuring that the Qi, or the flow of energy, can flow freely through the body. We restore balance by tailoring TCM treatment services such as acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping therapy, and more to address your specific concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can Paediatric Tuina be used to improve digestion in children?Most of the mechanisms of action for Paediatric Tuina Massage remain unclear. This is what we know, when used to alleviate symptoms of functional digestive-associated diseases, Tuina potentially increases peripheral blood flow, activates the autonomic nervous system, and excites the gastrointestinal parasympathetic nerve. This stimulates intestinal smooth muscles, which promotes peristaltic function, thereby reducing gastric residual volume and improving digestion.

Paediatric Tuina is a gentle, non-invasive form of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) designed specifically for younger patients. This massage technique helps to balance your child's energy (qi) and supports natural healing without the use of medications. It is tailored to the physical development and health conditions of children, making it safe and effective when administered by a qualified TCM practitioner.
-
Is Paediatric Tuina massage painful?No, Paediatric Tuina is not painful.

-
What is the difference between Paediatric Tuina Massage Therapy and Adult Massage Therapy?Paediatric Tuina Massage Therapy is tailored to the unique physical and emotional needs of children. A key difference lies in the use of unique acupoints in Paediatric Tuina that are not present or used in adult treatments. Children have specific acupoints that are more responsive to stimulation during their early developmental stages. These acupoints allow for more effective treatment of childhood conditions, supporting the body’s natural healing process with lesser pressure compared to adult massage, focusing on energy flow rather than muscle tension. Additionally, TCM paediatric massage is shorter in duration and aims to address childhood ailments such as colic, constipation, or immune deficiencies, while adult massage therapy targets deeper muscle issues and stress relief.
-
