All massage is based on the original Chinese Meridian Massage called Tui Na, pronounced “Tway Nah.” It is a form of body work and manipulation that has a long history in Chinese medicine.

As part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and as an adjunct to veterinary therapy, Tui Na facilitates and dramatically improves the therapeutic results of acupressure for horses, dogs, and cats while contributing to their health and well-being.
