About Tit Tar

Tit tar is a Cantonese term that, when translated literally, means ‘fall-hit’. When used together, tit tar refers to the treatment of bone, joint and muscle misalignment sustained from physical trauma such as a fall, an accident or during sports.
Tit tar operates from the basic idea that any ache or pain experienced by the body stems from a disruption in the natural alignment and state of the bone, joint or muscle. When a patient complains about pain in a particular part of his or her body, the physician’s main objective is to identify the nature of the problem and to correct it.
A major aspect of tit tar therapy is acupressure. Acupressure is an ancient science that deals with the human body and the flow of natural energy (‘Qi’) within. Using the fingers to manipulate, stimulate or correct the flow of qi in and around an injured joint, acupressure can release muscular tension, promote the circulation of blood, relieve pain and enables the body to relax deeply. This speeds up recovery and strengthens the body’s resistance to disease.
