Tuina Massage Basel
Tui - pushing and Na - grasping, are the two basic grips of the traditional Chinese massage technique

Tuina is one of the oldest forms of therapy in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and continues to play an important role in the treatment of a wide variety of physical and emotional ailments. As a holistic massage method, Tuina is becoming increasingly popular in Basel – both for the relief of acute complaints and for supporting general health and preventative care.
At our TCM practice in Basel, we combine the millennia-old principles of Chinese medicine with modern insights to provide personalized treatments. Tuina therapy uses targeted manual techniques such as acupressure, rubbing, kneading, stretching, tapping, and stroking along the meridians to harmonize the flow of life energy—known as Qi. The goal is to release blockages, balance Yin and Yang, and stimulate the body's own healing processes.
What can you expect from a Tuina massage in Basel?
Each treatment begins with a detailed diagnosis, as is customary in TCM Basel.
These include:
Tongue diagnosis:
The tongue provides information about the energetic state of the organs.Pulse diagnosis:
The pulse shows the current Qi level and any imbalances.Conversation diagnosis:
A sensitive conversation helps to understand the symptoms holistically.
Based on this medical history, an individually tailored Tuina massage is performed. Targeted acupressure on specific points or along the meridians can restore the body's energetic balance. The treatment is complemented by gentle mobilizations, stretches, and, if necessary, additional TCM techniques such as:
Moxibustion (Moxa): Heat therapy to stimulate acupuncture points
Cupping: Promotes blood circulation and detoxification
Gua Sha: scraping technique to relieve tension and stagnation

The treatment typically lasts about 60 minutes. Depending on individual needs and symptoms, shorter or longer sessions may be beneficial.
