TuiNa Massage
What to Expect During Your TuiNa Session
During your Chinese tuina massage session, prepare for a unique experience that mixes traditional Chinese medicine with specialized massage techniques. Tui Na massage,often referred to as Chinese tuina massage, and which is the basis of shiatsu massage, is not a typical relaxation massage. It’s a therapeutic session aimed at balancing your body’s energy and addressing specific health issues.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Approach That Fits Your Needs. Your practitioner will craft the session using a wide variety of tuina massage techniques to target your specific needs and health issues, whether it’s relieving pain, reducing stress, or improving circulation.
- Dynamic Techniques. Tui Na involves a combination of rubbing, kneading, tapping, and pressing motions that may differ significantly from the gentle strokes of Western massage. The focus is on opening the body’s defensive chi and getting energy moving in the meridians and the muscles to activate self-healing mechanisms.
- Therapeutic Focus. While Tui Na is primarily therapeutic. It aims to restore health and balance to your body, not just provide temporary relaxation.
- Therapeutic Enhancement. When performed by a skilled practitioner, Tui Na enhances the effectiveness of acupuncture. For these reasons, Tui Na and Acupuncture are often performed together during a treatment session.
Walking into a Tui Na session, expect a healing experience that is both enjoyable and beneficial for you.

What Clients Say About Us
My husband had chronic shoulder pain and lower back pain for a long time. After 3 sessions with Kyle Wooten he is experiencing a lot less pain, it’s not completely gone yet but definitely improved! I had one session so far for my knee and I am feeling relief already. He is knowledgeable and easy to talk with. I highly recommend him.
I have done two acupuncture sessions with Kyle now and I have left feeling so good and relaxed. He is very knowledgeable and trusting. I would recommend him to anyone looking to get acupuncture!!
Kyle is wonderful. He is very professional and knows what he is doing. He definitely helped my lower back!
INCREDIBLY HELPFUL!!! My experience with Kuna Wellness and Acupuncture has been extremely positive. Every question/concern I had was answered with knowledge, understanding and insight. The acupuncture is working great; and the guidance from Kyle is truly caring, informative and impactful.
Great experiences! Very friendly, professional, patient and informative (I had lots of questions and so did my daughters). Felt immediate results and pain relief from my overworked, compressed wrists/hands. A couple months back I had kidney pains, went to visit my medical doctor, and had tests ran. They came back with “nothing in the results; everything’s fine”. My first visit at Kuna Wellness- he immediately pointed out my kidney meridian having issues (I didn’t mention them at all)! I felt he listened, addressed my areas of concern (and then some), and he gave great self-care tips and exercises!
My wife had a sudden impairment of speech, stuttering and almost slurring. As well as twitching and shakeness of limbs and we received no information from the hospital about why or what to do. Our cherished friends invited her for a last minute session for deep precisionmassage, acupuncture and cupping after going over her symptoms the night before. After the session she was close to normal in speech and body control! She will undoubtedly get some much needed rest. Kyle is absolutely amazing. I would recommend a visit for anyone looking to improve their overall well-being!
Very very thorough, pleasant. Professional. By end of session felt significantly better. Made another appointment , looking forward to it.
Kyle did something that my medical doctors hadn’t been able to do before. He explained to me why i was in pain and explained how everything works togther. After my first visit i can start feeling the effects. I cant wait till my next visit.
Kyle is so knowledgeable and understanding. He listened to my issues and explained things in detail. If anyone is tired of pain they have , please go see him! He made my severe pain go away when not one doctor would or even could. I appreciate his caring and sympathetic personality!! Support his Kuna business!!! He will definitely make a difference in your life with his skills!!!
If you don’t go see Kyle at Kuna Wellness for an accupuncture session, you are missing out! I felt so relaxed and felt like I had known Kyle forever. I have a series of appointments scheduled.
Great care and knowledge, explains what he is doing and why. Good relief from symptoms. Clean relaxing environment.
I have suffered from neck pain and immobility for quite some time. I have tried chiropractic in the past with not much relief. I’m glad I gave acupuncture a try. Kyle is very knowledgeable and spent time asking questions to determine the best treatment for my issues. With massage/acupuncture sessions, combined with at home exercise , I am seeing relief from my neck issues. I’m very pleased to find such an amazing acupuncturist as Kyle in our small town of Kuna!
What a cool experience! I was feeling stuffy and fatigued from lingering cold symptoms and with Kyle’s expertise he was able to move the gunk through and out of my body. I feel 10x better, more energized, and I can breathe easier now. He was intuitive, careful, kind, knowledgeable, and all around a great practitioner. I will definitely be back!
Literally took my pain away. I tried chiropractor, Dr, medicine massage. Nothing worked and I was tired of crying. Thought I’d give this a try. It’s been worth every penny. Highly recommend giving him a try.
Great experience, Kyle explained things very clearly and showed me some really good stretches to do afterward. He helped my neck and arm pain tremendously.
Great experience, very knowledgeable. Best pain reduction yet with acupuncture!
This is Sandy Butler. I think Kyle is the best acupuncturist that has treated me. He is quiet, gentle and know exactly how to help with my pain. I have recommended him to many of my friends and will continue to do so.
Kyle took care of my back and neck problems. I’m a contractor and need my body in working order to be able to complete projects. I was skeptical of acupuncture, I am no longer. Thank you Kyle.
Kyle is excellent. He listened to me, was attentive and knowledgable, and very good at finding the trouble areas. My neck and shoulders are so much less painful and greater mobility. Kyle has done a great job and I will continue to use his service!
Kyle is great to work with. He was the first acupuncturist I have visited and the sessions have improved my lower back pain significantly.
FAQs about TuiNa Massage
What is Tui Na Massage?
TuiNa (or Tui-Na) is a form of Chinese therapeutic massage that utilizes various techniques such as kneading, rolling, and acupressure to address musculoskeletal issues, promote Qi flow, and improve overall health. Tui Na is one of Kyle Wooten’s specialties.
Who Can Benefit From Tui Na Massage?
Nearly anyone can benefit from Tui Na massage! Of course Tui Na is effective for those seeking relief from pain and stiffness, and in combination with Acu-pressure there is very little that cannot be improved by Tui Na.
Is TuiNa Massage Painful?
Tui Na massage is similar to other massage techniques, in that it can be painful when encountering stiff and inflamed tissue. However pain is not mandatory for the treatments to be effective, and a patient can always request that the treatment be gentler.
How Long Does a TuiNa Session Last at Kuna Wellness and Acupuncture?
A TuiNa session, with or without cupping, lasts for thirty minutes, with the first session lasting sixty minutes due to the thirty-minute free consultation.
How Often Should I Get a Tui Na Massage?
The free consultation at the beginning of the first session is when you will discuss this with the Licensed Acupuncturist, who will factor in your unique situation and specific needs when formulating a treatment plan. Generally treatments are weekly while trying to fix an active issue, though the frequency can be more or less depending on many factors.
