Tui na
Hands-on release along the meridian lines, for the tightness that builds up from desk work or manual work. It is a different thing from the registered doctor's bone-setting, and is timed and charged separately.
Tui na works on muscle and fascia: a stiff upper back, a neck that catches when you turn it, a lower back that feels heavy all day. It can be booked on its own or added after hands-on treatment. **$40 for 30 minutes** — enough to come in after work without committing to a full session. Ask when you call if you want longer.
One thing to be clear about: tui na is not Registered Massage Therapy. If your extended health plan covers RMT only, this may not be claimable — check with your insurer before you count on it.
In an emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency department. Recent fracture or surgery, skin infection, fever, or unexplained severe pain — see a doctor first.
Newly added · introductory
Massage and moxibustion are a new line at this address. If you have not been in before there is no need to book a full session to find out — come after work and see. Ask when you call if you want longer.
Please confirm moxibustion arrangements and suitability with the clinic. Mention bleeding problems, broken or infected skin, reduced sensation, or pregnancy first.

Questions before booking ↓
The existing clinic information distinguishes tui na from a registered practitioner’s bone-setting work, with separate services and fees. Specify whether you are asking about body massage or an appointment with Dr. Kong. The clinic’s name does not mean every booking is with him.
Likewise, the word massage does not itself establish RMT credentials. If insurance matters to you, confirm the provider’s verifiable qualifications, available receipt and your own policy requirements before arranging the visit.
The existing service information mentions experiences such as desk-related tension and tight shoulders or back. Describe the areas and pressure you want to discuss. This helps communication; it does not determine a suitable approach from a body area alone. Ask the provider to explain the actual arrangements.
The 30-minute option is currently listed at CAD $40. If you want to ask about a longer appointment or another service, confirm availability and the corresponding fee. Do not extrapolate unpublished durations and prices from the listed option.
The current address is 6529 Victoria Drive, Vancouver BC, near East 49th Avenue. Monday–Sunday, 10:00–19:30, describes clinic opening hours. Confirm the individual massage provider and time; opening does not guarantee immediate availability on arrival.
Parking is beside and behind the shop, subject to availability, and there is an accessible entrance. The visit page has the map, directions and contact information. The archive shows earlier premises; use the current address and service information for today’s booking.
PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
They are distinct services with separate descriptions and fees. When calling, specify whether you want to discuss body massage or bone-setting, and confirm the corresponding provider.
Bone-setting information →The listed tui na option is CAD $40 for 30 minutes. Confirm the contents, provider and applicable taxes before booking. Other durations and services need separate confirmation.
Fees and insurance →You can explain the areas and sensations you want to discuss, then hear the proposed arrangement. Topics shown on the website are not a promise that a service suits every situation or evidence of an individual assessment.
Discuss preferences before the appointment begins and speak up if you feel uncomfortable during it. Do not use “more pain means better results” as a pressure target. Discuss the actual approach with the provider.
Tui na and Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) services have different credential requirements. If your policy requires an RMT, confirm the provider’s credentials and receipt arrangements before booking.
Provider and insurance information →Check the provider’s credentials, service name, receipt arrangements and your policy. The word massage, or another person’s licence at the same clinic, does not establish coverage. Ask your insurer if you are unsure.
Read fees and insurance →You can ask, and the clinic can check providers, times and arrangements for both services. A visit does not automatically include both; clarify the contents and fees separately.
Explore acupuncture →Call 778-955-0376 and mention body massage or tui na, your preferred time and any particular requirements. The current address is 6529 Victoria Drive, near East 49th Avenue. The clinic opens Monday–Sunday, 10:00–19:30; confirm the individual service time.
