Mateo Silva, Sonia's husband, specializes in Tui Na Chinese medical massage. Tui Na utilizes a combination of unique hand techniques to work muscle and connective tissue, along with acupressure, to increase the circulation of blood and Qi, enhancing the body’s natural healing process. The origins of this traditional Chinese modality date back to 2,500 BC, and treatments can provide relief from a wide range of conditions including chronic and acute pain, tight muscles and joints, limited range of motion, headache, fatigue, post-surgical, depression, digestive issues, and more.
