Tui Na

Tui na for Everyone
Tui na (twee -nar) is a type of Oriental bodywork which has been used in China for millennia. The techniques of tui na and its uses in treating health problems were documented in a vast volume - The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, written about 2500 years ago. After such a lengthy period of development and evolution, modern tuina is the most tried and tested hands-on therapy in the world.
Diagnosis and treatment are based on the same principles as acupuncture - the traditional Chinese medical theory of the flow of Qi (Chi) through the meridians.
Practitioners develop a special awareness of the Qi, and specific techniques are used to work on the meridians and on specific points, to harmonise the balance of Qi and allowing the body to heal itself naturally.

Tui na literally means "pushing" and "grasping" - two of the techniques used in treatment. Tui na methods include the use of hand techniques to massage the soft tissue (muscles and tendons) of the body, acupressure techniques which directly affect the flow of Qi and manipulation techniques to realign the muscles and ligaments.

Tui na treats chronic pain, especially that caused by muscle-skeletal conditions and injuries. Neck, shoulder and back pain and immobility, sciatica and joint pains all respond very well.

Tui na treatment can be either relaxing or stimulating depending on the condition and is an excellent complement to an acupuncture treatment: it offers a unique system of hands-on treatment, which has profound effects.

Nutrition - Coming to Park Practice in June

The food we eat can have a significant effect on every aspect of our lives. Making adjustments to your nutrition and lifestyle can make a big difference to the way you feel and your health.

If you suffer with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, evidence is showing the relatively new FODMAP diet can significantly improve symptoms in 75% of people. Studies show that reducing weight by 5-10% can cut risks of heart disease, diabetes and stroke and reduce blood pressure and cholesterol.

So whether you want to improve your energy, take control of your weight, improve your performance in sport or have a specific health concern, a consultation with a registered dietitian could benefit you.

Each consultation is tailed to your specific needs, to suite your lifestyle and to help you make achievable changes.

Dietary analysis is also available where your diet is nutritionally analysed, this is useful to check for vitamin or mineral deficiency, carbohydrates and protein intake for sport or for assessing overall energy intake or weight gain or loss.

So whether it's for a specific reason, or just to help stay fit and healthy, a dietitian can be beneficial to everyone.
