Tuina by far is the most powerful massage therapy in the world. It has such a spread of application that increasingly sports people in Ireland are favouring it over the conventional sports injury massage.

Primarily the reason for this is that Tuina is a much deeper treatment, it is flexible and require no oils or fancy lotions. It utilises over 2,000 years of observed human conditions. Incorporated within Tuina is the Chinese Medicine model combined with traditional manipulation, bone setting and stretching techniques.

Balancing both the tissues and the energy channels of the body. It yields much faster results than conventional massage, because it is so much more than just massage.

In China it requires at least 6 years of practice to be considered a junior doctor of Tuina. In the west it is far less; so as a sports person it is essential that you find a truely qualified practitioner.

One of the most qualified practitioners in Ireland is Anthony Monteith - he is based in Dublin and is a direct student of several masters.
