Announcements welcome (Discounted Prices too)! Chinese Medical Massage, Tui Na NOW available at my office! I am very pleased to announce a new massage practitioner in my office: Denise McQuiston, CMT. Denise has been doing Tui Na in this area for over 13 years and thoroughly enjoys healing people with this type of massage. I describe Tui Na as an orthopedic massage, with massage techniques or movements to aid in manipulating a joint or tissue. There may be passive or active stretching, and since oils are not applied, the client will remain clothed during a session. It will help with any musculoskeletal injury or pain, and since the practice is based on Chinese Medicine and its acupoints on the body, it can help many internal medicine conditions as well.
