Are you looking for massage? Let me tell you there is a specific type of massage from Chinese Medicine, there is a special therapeutic massage called Tuina (推拿).

This millennial practice, developed over 2,000 years ago, is more than just relaxation — it’s a healing art. Tuina works on the same principles as Yin & Yang balance and the Five Elements Theory, meaning it sees the body as an interconnected system rather than isolated parts.

Through rhythmic movements, acupressure, and stretching techniques, Tuina helps to:
✔️ Release muscle tension
✔️ Stimulate circulation and energy (Qi) flow
✔️ Support organ health
✔️ Reduce stress and restore balance

Unlike Western massage, Tuina is not only about comfort — it’s a clinical tool used to address conditions like chronic pain, digestive issues, insomnia, and even emotional imbalance.

Think of it as a bridge between body and energy — harmonizing the physical and the energetic for complete wellness.

Is a complete healing experience.
And sometimes is complemented by the use of guasha (scraping, or accoding to "modern" ideas fascia release) and cupping (suction cups are helping to improve circulation and mobilize the deep tissue.

In my opinion, this type of massage is both therapeutic and deeply relaxing.

I use it with my patients to support acute and chronic conditions, sports injuries, and to help with stress or digestive problems.

🌿 What is Energy Healing? 🌿

Energy healing is a holistic practice that focuses on restoring the natural flow of energy in your body. ✨ Our energy system can become blocked by stress, emotions, or illness, leading to imbalance. By using techniques like Reiki, chakra balancing, and acupressure, energy healing helps release these blockages and promotes harmony.

Benefits include: reduced stress, deeper relaxation, emotional clarity, and support for physical healing. 🌟

I was in the 55 Plus Pickleball games, was amazing see all this people from 55 to 70 years old enjoying the sport. Amazing rallies, good friends, nice facility.
And this event has different sports.

Here some of the benefits related with physical activity

Staying active through sports or physical activities has many benefits for your body and mind. When you move your body, you help your heart stay strong and improve your blood circulation. Regular activity also keeps your muscles, joints, and bones healthy, which is important as you get older.

Doing sports like pickleball, swimming, or even walking can help you maintain a healthy weight, lower your risk of diabetes, and reduce high blood pressure. Exercise also boosts your immune system, so you may get sick less often.

But physical activity isn’t just good for the body — it’s great for the mind too. Sports help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. When you move, your brain releases “feel-good” chemicals like endorphins, which improve your mood.

Sports can also be fun and social. Playing on a team or in a group helps you make friends and feel more connected. It teaches important life skills like teamwork, discipline, and goal setting.

No matter your age, keeping active adds energy and joy to life. Even small actions, like stretching or dancing at home, can make a difference. The key is to stay consistent and choose activities you enjoy. Keep moving — your body and mind will thank you!
