As a British Acupuncture Council acupuncturist, many health insurance schemes will pay for my acupuncture treatments, with an appropriate referral. I often combine deep tissue massage with acupuncture, which could also qualify. Please ask me for further details if this interests you. Tui na deep tissue massage is a holistic, therapeutic, deep tissue massage based on the principles of Chinese medicine. Tui na deep tissue massage includes a wide variety of techniques to loosen tight areas, promote healthy circulation and speed healing. Tui na is very flexible, and I use it for all sorts of problems, including those that you might seek sports massage, other styles of deep tissue massage, holistic massage or any other remedial therapeutic massage for. In tension, muscles feel tightly held. When tension is relieved, the whole body can benefit; if your neck and shoulders feel stiff you are also more likely to suffer from headaches. I use massage to separate out these tightly-bound fibres and help circulation to painful or tight areas.
