TUI NA MASSAGE

It's taken over two years to find a worthy replacement for Hin Ho Li,’s Tui Na, BUT boy have we found one. Wow!

For anyone who hasn't tried it before, Tui Na or Chinese Massage (pronounced twee-nah), is like pressure on points rather than the deep gliding action you get with a deep tissue massage.

Literally translating as “pinch & pull”, Tui Na's roots are based in ancient Chinese medicine and aspects of wellbeing such as harmony and balance. It can be a deeper, more robust, even vigorous form of therapy massage and in the hands of a skilled practitioner such as Peter, it can make a world of difference. The different techniques involved in Tui Na are based around the balance of yin and yang, the former is gentle, often meditative, the latter is more dynamic. No two people have the same needs though and every treatment is bespoke to the individual.

With Peter’s Tui na you can feel a deep sense of satisfaction as the knots are worked out by Peter’s masterful technique.

THAI MASSAGE

Having the honour to have been trained by some of the most renowned Thai massage Masters in South East Asia, Peter became a master of his craft and a teacher of the discipline, after realising the incredible potential of Thai massage for the body and mind.

Today Peter is a a respected teacher of Thai massage and a skilled practitioner with experience working in London’s renowned Harley Street, China, Thailand and now as an exciting part of our own services.

An ancient practice and a powerful healing art, Thai massage carries with it a wide range of therapeutic benefits, it can also feel sensational. Thai massage encompasses the whole body as well as the whole person, physically, emotionally and mentally.

The art of Thai massage is characterised by a wonderful array of passive stretching and twisting, to open up joints, increase flexibility and stimulate internal organs in a similar way to yoga. Alongside these techniques, skilled point work and pressing techniques increase circulation and muscle function exactly where it is needed.

Thai massage is an amazing all round treatment for both body and mind, one that can make strains and stresses simply drain away!

Cupping

Cupping therapy is one of the oldest and most effective complimentary therapy methods for releasing the toxins from body tissue and organs. It is also known as vacuum cupping, hijama cupping, horn treatment etc. It is a practice in which the therapist puts special cups on the skin to create suction. This causes the tissue beneath the cup to be drawn up and swell causing increase in blood flow to affected area. Enhanced blood flow under the cups draws impurities and toxins away from the nearby tissues and organs towards the surface for elimination. For best results book as part of Tui Na (massage) session, but you can book an individual cupping session.
