Tuina Massage Therapy
Tuina focuses on balancing the energy of body and addressing both physical and internal issues. Its unique techniques and holistic approach make it a distinct and effective form of therapy.
What Is Tuina Massage
Tuina is the older Chinese hand technique — kneading, pressing, a joint rolled slowly through its range — and the closer, more local cousin to Shiatsu. Where Shiatsu reads across the whole body, Tuina goes to one place and stays: the neck, the shoulders, the head, the hands, the feet. The place that’s asking, worked until it lets go.
In a session:
The work is narrower than Shiatsu, and often firmer — thumbs and knuckles, a forearm, the heel of the hand, pressing and rolling along the channels of the single region that’s holding. Qi is the tradition’s word for what that pressure follows: where the region is full, where it has stopped moving. The rest of the body is left alone.
Why You Need a Tuina Session?
What it’s for:
People come to Tuina with something specific and located — a neck that won’t turn, a shoulder set hard from a desk, a headache that lives behind the eyes, feet that have carried too much. Not the whole body’s story, but one chapter of it, worked directly. It suits the visit with a clear reason: one thing addressed well, rather than everything touched lightly

Sometimes you meet people who enter your life in a way that makes you realize things will never be the same again—a shift, a new turn in your journey. As I step into Francesco’s space, I know he is one of those people.
During my first Shiatsu session, I quickly surrender to his skilled hands; I feel safe and find myself relaxing more and more. It is clear that this man knows exactly what he is doing. I know I want to do this much more often. My body has never felt this good. Thanx, xxx

Let me start by saying that I'm also a Shiatsu therapist. Receiving Francesco's treatment was a true emotional journey.
I appreciated his precise and surgical presence, not only through touch but also through energy. I felt him to be very present. He has the ability to create a space where time stands still and the mind is calm. Highly recommended!

As a colleague in the holistic field, I recognize and appreciate when a treatment is performed with true mastery. Receiving Shiatsu from Francesco is a wonderful experience. His presence is constant and reassuring throughout the session; he has a perfect touch, a rare intuitiveness, and knows exactly where and how to target the right areas. He is extremely knowledgeable, gifted with a great listening ability and profound professionalism. I highly recommend him!

I had a shiatsu session with Francesco in Dahab and it was absolutely lovely. Deeply relaxing, but also precise and skilful. He works in a way that feels intuitive and grounded rather than showy. I felt safe, held and properly unwound afterwards. Highly recommend if you’re in Dahab and want something genuinely restorative.

Francesco is a master. It was an excellent Shiatsu massage experience. The session was both deeply relaxing and therapeutically effective. Pressure was applied with great sensitivity and precision, creating a strong sense of balance and wellbeing. I felt calmer, more open, and noticeably less tense afterwards. I can wholeheartedly recommend this treatment to anyone seeking deep relaxation and holistic care 💜✨

Meeting Francesco in Dahab was truly a blessing.
He is a highly professional therapist – attentive, caring, and very thoughtful. I would recommend him to anyone.
My tired body finally felt deeply relaxed, and I genuinely felt healed.
If my travel schedule allows, I would love to come back again.

I’ve been searching for a way to restore my body, and when i found this place i had no doubt i need to try. From the very beginning of the conversation, I felt like I’m in a very special field of being heard and cared for, with a clear support and responsiveness.
During the session I felt reliefed of tension and restored the body to a state that it hasn’t been to for a while. It felt like I’ve been to the deep space restoration station a got back with the inner system sounding in a different way. As if I got a new face. And that’s always reviving, I guess.
I can see how several days after the session the changes heard by the body are slowly and gently revealing the reality around me, bringing peace, care and comfort back to my life. The treatment starts with the attitude of the therapist, and makes it a wonderous fulfilling experience, cause in healing everything matters, and it's the main principle of holism, which I strongly believe in.

During my holidays in Dahab I was so unbelievably lucky to book by coincidence a Tuina massage with Franscesco. The Tuina massage with Francesco was absolutely amazing, he really knows about the points and your body system, directly afterwards I felt very much inner peace, was very relaxed, but also quiet tired. The next day I felt a lot more energy and power, like a deep reset and my whole body system felt fully recovered. Because of this, I did book a second massage with Franscesco, this time I wanted to try the Shiatsu massage. This massage was again absolutely wonderful, from the technique different from Tuina, but the effects were the same, afterwards again profound inner peace feeling and very relaxed , but tired, next day fully recovered with a lot of energy and power / revitalised. Besides, Francesco is a wonderful person, you feel that he does his work with great dedication and has profound knowledge and huge experience. Thank you so much, dear Francesco!

I had a shiatsu session with Francesco. He is a very attentive and caring therapist. The space was clean, and the process was wonderful. We worked with the body and identified several tight spots that need attention and further work. Thank you!

I had regular shiatsu massage therapy with Francesco over a period of about a year and it made a huge difference to my general well being. His calm, present focus put me at ease straight away and his ability to attune to the minor changes in my body each week meant I felt very well looked after. I would thoroughly recommend.

Francesco has magic on his heads! He just barely touches you and you go into a deep relaxation mode! Always be prepared to take a day off after he is done with you because he reminds you of the importance of your own body and how much you need to care for it! A must….
