Tuina Massage (Chinese Therapeutic Massage)
Principle:
Tuina massage is a form of Traditional Chinese therapeutic bodywork that aims to promote the smooth flow of Qi (vital energy) and blood throughout the body. Using techniques such as pressing, kneading, rolling, and stretching, Tuina focuses on restoring balance within the body’s meridian system and supporting natural self-regulation.
Effects:
Tuina may help relieve muscle tension, improve joint mobility, and promote deep relaxation. It can support general well-being, help reduce stress, and enhance the body’s natural balance. Each session is tailored to the individual’s needs and condition.
Insurance Reimbursement:
When Tuina is provided by a licensed therapist registered with a recognized professional association (such as NBCG Yi) and holds an AGB code, treatments may be partially reimbursed by Dutch health insurance companies under complementary healthcare (aanvullende zorgverzekering). Clients are advised to check their individual policy for coverage details.
Disclaimer:
Tuina massage is not a medical treatment and does not replace medical diagnosis or therapy. It is a complementary and preventive health approach based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles.
