Tuina Massage

Home-visit tuina massage

Chinese medical massage — pressing, kneading and stretching along the meridians, done through clothing.

What it is

Tuina is hands-on TCM. It looks like massage, but it follows the same meridian and point map as acupuncture, and it is firmer and more targeted than a relaxation massage. It is done through loose clothing, so there is no oil and nothing to clean up afterwards.

It is often the right starting point for people who want treatment but are not comfortable with needles yet — and it works well combined with acupuncture in the same visit.

What happens in a session

  1. Check the tight or painful areas.
  2. Pressing, kneading and stretching while you stay clothed.
  3. Simple stretches to do at home.

What people traditionally come for

  • Stiff neck and restricted shoulder movement
  • Lower back tightness
  • Frozen shoulder discomfort
  • Tension headaches
  • General stiffness from inactivity

Good to know

These are concerns people traditionally seek this treatment for — not a promise of a particular result. Whether it suits your situation is something Jelly will discuss with you at the consultation. If she thinks you should see a doctor first, she will tell you.

  • Tell me about any medicines you take, especially blood thinners, hormones or fertility drugs.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding? Mention it when you book; some techniques are adjusted or avoided.
  • Eat something light 1–2 hours before, and wear loose clothing.

Frequently asked questions

Do you really come to my house?
Yes. I bring a portable treatment table, sterile single-use needles, cups and everything else the session needs. All you have to provide is a room with enough space to lie down and a plug point if we are using anything heated.
What do I need to prepare before the visit?
Very little. Clear a space roughly the size of a single bed, wear loose clothing, and eat something light beforehand — treatment on a completely empty stomach can leave you light-headed. If you have recent medical reports or a list of your medication, have them nearby.
How long does a session take?
Budget an hour to an hour and a half for a first visit, which includes a full consultation. Follow-up sessions are usually shorter. The exact length depends on the treatment — each treatment page lists its own timing.
Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture needles are far finer than injection needles — most people describe a brief dull ache or a heavy sensation at the point rather than a sharp pain, and many feel nothing at all going in. Tell me at any point if something is uncomfortable and I will adjust it.
Is it safe? What about hygiene at home?
Needles are sterile, single-use and disposed of in a proper sharps container that leaves with me. Cups and tools are cleaned and disinfected between patients. Nothing is reused between people, ever.
