Tui Na Therapy in Westwood, NJ
Traditional East Asian Manual Therapy for Personalized Support
What is Tuina Therapy?
Tui Na (pronounced “twee-nah”) is a traditional East Asian manual therapy that uses hands-on techniques such as pressure, kneading, rolling, and gentle movement.
At PureMe Acupuncture Wellness Center in Westwood, NJ, Tui Na may be incorporated into an individualized care plan when manual therapy is appropriate for concerns such as muscle tension, stiffness, or movement-related discomfort.
Tui Na may be used alongside acupuncture or other complementary approaches depending on your individual needs and treatment goals.
How Is Tui Na Performed?
During Tui Na therapy, the practitioner uses hands-on techniques that may include pressure, kneading, rolling, stretching, or gentle movement of selected areas.
The techniques and amount of pressure can vary depending on the area being addressed, your individual needs, and your comfort.
At PureMe, Tui Na is used selectively as part of an individualized approach rather than as a one-size-fits-all treatment.

What Does Tui Na Feel Like?
Tui Na may involve gentle to moderately firm pressure, movement, or stretching depending on the technique being used.
Sensations vary from person to person, and the treatment can be adjusted based on your comfort. Let your practitioner know if any technique feels uncomfortable.
Is Tui Na Appropriate for Everyone?
Tui Na may not be appropriate for everyone. Your health history, current symptoms, medications, recent injuries, surgeries, and other medical conditions should be considered before treatment.
Tell your practitioner if you have significant pain, recent injury, osteoporosis, bleeding or clotting concerns, pregnancy, or other health conditions that may affect manual therapy.
New, severe, persistent, or unexplained symptoms should receive appropriate medical evaluation rather than relying on Tui Na or other complementary care.
What to Expect at PureMe
