Specializing in Tui Na Chinese Medical Massage

Mateo Silva, husband to Sonia, brings over a decade of expertise in Tui Na, a traditional Chinese medical massage technique. Tui Na combines specialized hand techniques to work on muscle and connective tissue with acupressure to enhance blood and Qi circulation, promoting the body’s natural healing processes. Originating around 2,500 BC, this ancient modality provides relief for a wide range of conditions, including chronic and acute pain, muscle and joint tension, limited range of motion, headaches, fatigue, post-surgical recovery, depression, digestive issues, and more.
