Chinese massage usually refers to tui na, a traditional therapeutic massage from Chinese medicine using firm pressure, kneading and stretching along the body's meridians. It's typically firmer and more therapeutic than a relaxation massage, chosen for tension, stiffness and specific aches.

Tui na is the classical form of Chinese massage — the name refers to its pushing and grasping techniques. It applies firm, targeted pressure along the meridians and acupressure points, sometimes with stretching, as part of traditional Chinese medicine.

It tends to be firm and focused. Depending on the therapist it may be done through clothing or with oil, so check when booking. Expect targeted pressure on tense areas and possibly stretching — tell your therapist your preferred pressure.

It's primarily therapeutic — firmer, targeted work for tension, stiffness and pain, rather than a gentle relaxation treatment. If you want to unwind gently, a Swedish massage suits better; for firm therapeutic work in the Chinese medicine tradition, tui na is the one.
