Asia Tui-Na Massage & Acupuncture

It was my first time at Asia Tui-Na and I found my experience to be relatively good. I went in for the 60 minute massage and facial. The massage was great. It wasn't too deep, nor too soft. It was a bit painful at times, but it was due to my tight muscles. It was my first time getting a facial and I wasn't overly impressed, though my face was really dry and the next day, soft. My two complaints are: I was freezing during the facial. The towel isn't sufficient. And she quit about 10-15 minutes early, so I didn't get the full 120 minutes that I paid for. Pros: Price is reasonable Cons: Was not the full 120 minutes more

I have been coming to Asia Tui-Na for almost two years. The massages are usually ok, not great, but at $55 an hour, you really can't complain. This place is a couple of blocks from my office, so for convenience, I go about once every 3 weeks. After my experience today, I will NEVER go again. The masseuse I had, Linda, was extremely rough - her massage style was fast & hard. 3 times I asked her to please be more gentle, and it only seemed to fuel her fire. I actually cried out in pain twice (after the 3 times asking her to be more gentle). The whole experience was extremely uncomfortable and I lay there with my eyes open, staring at the floor. Suddenly she left the room....and the person who returned to finish the job was different - completely different shoes/toenail polish. Seriously? Seriously. The 2nd person was a little better, and she finished the massage. When it ended, I checked my watch....hmmm, my 60 minute massage was actually barely 50 minutes. Mind you, it was awful, so I wasn't too upset it ended early, but 1) I have always thought their massages seemed fast, this was the first time I timed it 2) they were charging me for 60 minutes. When I went upfront to pay, I informed the receptionist that the massage had not lasted for an hour. She simply shrugged her shoulders and asked me for payment. When I inquired as to why I had to pay for 60 minutes when I only got a 50 minute massage, she rolled her eyes and offered me a $5 discount. This made me even more agitated, so I decided to share with her how awful my massage was. She simply said ""okay"". I will never go back - I'd much rather go out of my way to Graceful Services (which is wonderful) or pay the extra money & head to Bliss - at least those places know how to treat people. Avoid this place if you can - it is not worth it. If you are trying to get an inexpensive massage, there are plenty of other places. Pros: reasonably priced Cons: awful service, awful massage more

I am 28 years old and I had a surgery for endometriosis 4 years ago. Pros: Help Endometriosis more

I am a 40 year old woman who's been pregnant twice this year, but had miscarriages both times at 3 weeks. I was desperate to get pregnant, so a friend suggested that I go see Dr. Li. She checked my pulse and tongue and said that my uterus was too ""cold"" for the embryo to survive. I didn't really know what she meant, but she gave me acupuncture and herbal treatments for a month. At the end of the month, I was pregnant. Now I am still getting treatments, and I'm in my 12th week of pregnancy. My OBGYN says that my baby's heartbeat is normal and appears very healthy. I am not sure what a ""cold"" uterus means, but if you have the same problem, be sure to go and see Dr. Li. more

The economic climate has been getting to me - for the last several months I've had a chronic headache, stiff neck, sore shoulders and upper back. I work at a computer all day. Someone suggested massage so I looked for a place in my neighborhood. I had a 1-hour massage and at the end of the session, all these symptoms were gone! There were some tender muscle areas the next day, but a healthy feeling. The therapist told me a very interesting thing - she wondered if I sat at work with my shoulders raised upwards a bit. I checked the next day, and I do! Very observant! So I will work on that, which could explain the chronic sore areas. And I'll definitely come back here if it happens again!! Pros: Simple, direct, it worked Cons: A little strong, but I hear that's tui-na more

A few weeks ago, I hurt my lower back while I was working out at the gym. I was in extreme pain and couldn't walk straight. The limping and pain was disrupting my work, so a colleague referred me to Dr. Li. I have to admit I was a bit scared at first because Dr. Li used 3 needles on my scalp, but it wasn't really very painful. I got up and walked around, and already I could feel the pain alleviating. I knew it must have been the acupuncture because I wasn't taking and painkillers or other medication. Then Dr. Li used more needles on my back and electric stimulation. She ended the session by using cupping (a technique where vacuum suctioned cups are placed at the area of inflammation). On the way home from the clinic, my back was already feeling 70% better. I went back for 2 more sessions, and afterwards the pain disappeared. It was amazing, I couldn't believe that the pain would go away so fast. It has really helped me get rid of an annoying problem quickly and go back to working out. In the past, I would have needed 2 or 3 weeks to recover from a similar back pain. With Dr. Li's help, I was better in less than a week! more

A while ago, my doctor discovered that I had a huge fibroid in my uterus. He said that i needed surgery to remove it. Although I'm 37, I had never had surgery before, so I was really nervous going into it. After the surgery, I began to feel sharp stomach pains that just wouldn't go away. I was very very scared, so i went to my doctor and asked what was wrong. He told me that I still had adhesion of the scar tissue from the surgery, and that I would require a second surgery to remove the scar tissue if my pain did not go away. But my pain certainly was not going away, and it got so bad that I couldn't even stand up straight. Desperate for alternatives to ANOTHER surgery, I went to Dr.Li for help. After just one treatment with her, I was already feeling 60% better, and could finally stand up straight again. After 5 treatments, I was completely healed, and my doctor said that I wouldn't need a second surgery. I was never fond of surgeries, and this experience certainly did not improve m y impression of it. So I'm very thankful for Dr.Li's alternative methods that helped me avoid another surgery. more

Me and my husband have been trying to have a baby for almost 10 years now. When I was still in my 30s, I got pregnant once (after years of trying), but it turned out to be a miscarriage. Although I was disappointed, my husband and I decided to keep on trying. However, After I reached 45, we realized that the chance for a natural pregnancy was slim. So we decided to try IVF. The first three times were also big disappointing fails. After the third failed attempt, my friend referred me to Dr. Li. She used treatments to accompany my follicle stimulating hormones. Although my infertility doctor harvested many mature follicles, only one was fertilized during the IVF process. I thought that this would be another failure, but with Dr. Li's further treatments, this one fertilized egg actually implanted successfully. I am nearing the end of my first trimester now, and my OBGYN says everything still looks healthy. Without Dr. Li's help, I am not sure if that one little egg would have succeeded. more

I am 38 years old and had been trying to get pregnant naturally for a couple of years. When I went to see my OBGYN, she informed me that my FSH levels were too high. My 18 FSH level was too high and unfavorable for a natural pregnancy. She advised me to try IUI as an alternative option, and maybe even IVF. First, however, she informed me that I had to find some way to get my FSH level down, before any of the alternative options would work. A friend referred me to Dr. Li. After 2 months of treatment, I got retested, and found that my FSH level was now only 9.5. I proceeded to try IUI for the first time. Although the IUI failed, the doctor had said that it was a problem with the spermcells, not the egg or uterus. So I tried the IUI again, and it worked like a charm. My beautiful baby is now 2 months old, and I could not be more grateful to Dr. Li for helping me achieve this miracle. I recommend her treatments for anyone with high FSH problems trying to get pregnant. These treatments are painless and very effective. Pros: Attitude, Service more

Is this the best massage I've ever gotten? No. But they do a good job at getting a lot (not all) of the knots out and it is a firm (but not painful) massage by skillful masseuses. The office itself is extremely clean and professional, unlike many other places offering this type of massage at the same prices. I have been about 5 times and was satisfied enough by the experience. My only complaint is that I feel relaxed at the end of it by they haven't gotten out all the knots and two days later it's as if I hadn't gotten a massage at all. Pros: cheap, great hours, good massage Cons: wish they could get all the knots out after an hour long session more

A week ago I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. I never thought that I would be lucky enough to be a mother and had given up all hope until I met Dr. Li. She really has made my dream come true. I had wanted a child for so long, but doctors said that my chances at pregnancy were very slim due to my extremely high FSH levels. I went to another acupuncturist before Dr. Li for half a month, but it had no effect on my fertility. Then one day I came to Asia Tui-Na for a massage and met Dr. Li. After four months of treatment with Dr. Li, I became pregnant last October, and have had a very smooth pregnancy. And now here I am, 10 months later, with this bundle of joy. I would recommend every hopeful mother who is having trouble getting pregnant to Dr. Li. Pros: prices, practitioner's attitude Cons: environment more

My boyfriend and I recently found this place and decided to give it a go. The atmosphere is not fancy but it is cute and quaint. The rooms are set up for several people devided by curtains. I could not see through the curtain. Overall the massages were very strong, kind of painful but well worth it, after you feel like jello. Also you really can't beat the price. I would deffinetly go again. Anyone try accupuncture for back pain, I'm wondering if it works. Pros: Great massage if you like it strong! Great prices! Cons: could have better privacy, not seperate rooms just curtains more

I have had yest infections for about 7-8 years now, and they've always come and go. Sometimes it's not so bad, but sometimes the breakouts are pretty bad. My doctor has prescribed me antibiotics every breakout. During every breakout, I have incredible pain and itchiness along with an UTI, which sometimes leads to fevers and backaches. It also gives me mood swings. During the worst breakouts I often take a month of antibiotics to get rid of it. Then I went to Dr. Li's clinic to get treatment. She prescribed herbs to ingest and to douche my genital area with and used acupuncture. Usually I get breakouts most in the summer, but so far this summer I have not gotten any yet, and it's probably due to the acupuncture treatments. more

For the last few years, I've always had very painful periods with very hard cramps. Last year, my OBGYN diagnosed me as having endometriosis. It's gotten worse year by year. This year, I've started spotting every month after ovulation and getting extreme cramps a week before my period. The pain got so bad that I needed painkillers to control the cramps. I also had very bad PMS and migraines. In April, I went to go see Dr. Li right after I had one of my periods. She treated me with acupuncture and herbs. The next month, I didn't see any spotting, and the cramps and PMS were a lot more mild. During my next cycle in May, I had no spotting at all, and the cramps had completely went away. I was treated with acupuncture for twice a week for two cycles, and I'm continuing the herbal treatment. Since May, I haven't had any cramps or spotting, so I think that this treatment really works! Pros: Staff attitude, Price more

I am 35 years old and have had 3 continuous miscarriages. The first pregnancy was only 3 weeks long. The second was 7 weeks, and the third was 15 weeks. After the 3rd pregnancy, I could not get pregnant for a whole year. I was desperate to get pregnant and stay pregnant and went to see my OBGYN. He said the circumstances didn't look good, and that I should turn to alternative medicine. Dr. Li treated me with both acupuncture and herbs for 4 more months. I got pregnant after the 4 months, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to stay pregnant, so I kept going to Dr. Li and she continued to treat me with acupuncture sessions. The treatments stopped after 18 weeks, and I am still pregnant now at 21 weeks. I went back to my OBGYN and he said the sonogram looked great. more

I've been having back problems on and off for years. I've gotten massages during that time and, though they've offered temporary relief, they never felt like they were addressing the fundamental tension and alignment problems I have in my back. That is until I tried Asia Tui Na. Their massage is intense, yes, but I always leave feeling like the knots and tension in my back, neck, and shoulders have been worked out in a way that will last. I've been going regularly (about once a week) for a while now and have been noticing my posture improving and my flexibility increasing in general. I sit at a desk all day and build up a lot of stress and tension in my back and neck, so this has been a godsend. Pros: Very deep, transformational massage- affordable. more

A fellow Marine back in Cali told me about this place, and I came here while I was on leave from Camp Pendleton. My lower back was still aching from a 10-day field exercise, so they recommended Lisa, who I was told is one of the strongest tui-na therapists in New York. Wow! She might be stronger than me, but knew when to ease up too and listened to me. I felt great immeiately! I wonder if they can bring this Chinese therapeutic art to a Marine base.... Pros: fast service and inexpensive Cons: Couldn't think of any more

I came here for stiff shoulders and an aching neck. I work in graphic design and stare at a computer screen - year in and year out. In one session, Wendy was able to loosen all the crinks. I learned that you can be stiff in places you don't know, but they all matter. Wendy knew all the points! And I'm coming back on a regular basis! The environment is clean, smells good and is run very efficiently. Pros: good price, appt on time, no nonsense Cons: no branch in Flushing more

They do give a great ,deep massage: I left feeling relaxed. more

I work with the computer a lot at my job and earlier this year I developed Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. My wrist was bothering me all the time. Overtime I started to feel a burning sensation and my wrist even swelled up. I finally decided to try some acupuncture treatment. After consulting with Dr. Li, we started treatment right away. After 4 or 5 sessions, my wrist began to get better. After 10 sessions, I was completely cured. Dr. Li has saved me a lot of trouble. I was skeptical about eastern medicine, but this stuff really works! more
