- Restart energy and blood circulation.

Steps
How does your Tuina session in Montpellier work?
First and foremost, I take the time to conduct a friendly, one-on-one consultation. This involves assessing your energy levels, which allows me to identify your needs, any pain you may be experiencing, your emotional state, and your lifestyle habits.
This is an essential opportunity for me to listen to you sincerely, so that I can offer you a treatment that is truly tailored to your needs.
Observation, questioning, and palpation
I observe your posture, your breathing, the vitality of your complexion, your pulse, and even your tongue, according to the principles of TCM.
These elements guide me in identifying any meridians that are out of balance and in tailoring the treatment to your energy profile.
Massage
Lying on the massage table, you remain clothed or partially covered depending on the areas being worked on. The traditional Tuina techniques are performed without oil, through light clothing.

I use different maneuvers depending on your needs:
- Des techniques d'ouverture pour libérer les stagnations.
- Un travail profond sur les méridiens et les muscles.
- Des mobilisations articulaires douces pour restaurer la fluidité du mouvement.
Sports Tuina is particularly recommended for runners, yogis, dancers, or athletes who are looking to:
- Accélérer la récupération musculaire.
- Prévenir les blessures.
- Améliorer la souplesse et la performance.
- Calmer le système nerveux après l'effort.
When I deem it appropriate, I incorporate various Traditional Chinese Medicine tools: cupping or moxibustion to optimize the effects of Tuina treatment.

Your practitioner
Why choose me for your tuina massage?
My approach to Tuina is the result of rigorous academic training and clinical practice in demanding contexts.
But beyond massage technique, it is the quality of presence that makes the difference.
I practice a traditional Tuina:
- Adaptive: neither too gentle nor too intense, always adjusted to your sensations and comfort level.
- Effective: results can be felt from the very first sessions.
- Respectful: I limit the number of appointments to ensure full attention and adequate recovery time between each treatment.

FAQ
Everything you need to know before booking your Tuina Massage
Can I combine Chinese Massage with other approaches such as physical therapy, osteopathy, or psychological counseling?
Absolutely. Tuina, Chi Nei Tsang, and foot reflexology fit harmoniously into a comprehensive treatment plan. Chinese massages are in no way a substitute for medical diagnosis.
They are not a substitute for medical care provided by a primary care physician, specialist, or other qualified healthcare professional.
How should I prepare before a session?
There are several things to consider before your massage:
- It is recommended not to eat just before the session.
- Tuina is performed fully clothed, without oil. I recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing. If this is not possible, the treatment is done in underwear covered with a sheet.
- Drink enough water before and after the session to help eliminate toxins and support energetic rebalancing.
- After the session, avoid exposure to wind, cold, and humidity, as well as any contact with water, for a few hours.
Is Tuina suitable for all sensitivities?
Yes, absolutely.
Tuina massage can be adapted to suit every individual, regardless of age, vitality, or sensitivity. The true strength of my practice lies in this ability to adjust: depending on your constitution, fatigue, emotional state, or stress level, I adapt the pressure, rhythm, and duration of the movements so that the treatment remains appropriate and respectful of how you feel.
It is not a rigid treatment protocol, but a physical dialogue where each movement is attuned to your needs at that moment.
Some will find Tuina to be a deep treatment, others a gentle and enveloping relaxation. In all cases, the touch remains conscious and precise in order to offer the body a space for release.
How do you feel after a Tuina massage?
The effects of a Tuina massage are usually felt as soon as the session ends.
The effects of the massage may be felt as soon as the session ends or may appear in the days following. Reactions vary depending on your energy level at the time of treatment and may differ from one session to another.
It is common to feel calm, tired, or sometimes sore for up to 72 hours afterward, which are positive signs of a deep rebalancing.
This gradual harmonization promotes lasting well-being, better sleep quality, and a feeling of unity between body and mind.
