Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has gained popularity across India, especially in wellness-conscious states like Karnataka. From Tui Na massage to acupressure and Qi balancing therapies, more people are exploring holistic alternatives to manage pain, stress, and chronic conditions.
Choosing the right therapist can make the difference between temporary relief and lasting transformation. Whether you're new to TCM or looking for a trusted healer in Karwar, Goa, or Bengaluru—this guide will help you make an informed, confident choice.
1. Look for Real Certification and Training
TCM is a deep, technical practice—not a quick course. A good practitioner should have:
Formal training from a recognized institute
Specialization in modalities like Tui Na, Kung Fu Massage, or Acupressure
Registration with a health or alternative medicine council
At Choy Li Fat Hung Sing Tang, Sifu Chaitanya Naik is:
Certified in Kung Fu Massage from Foshan, China
A registered medical practitioner with the Central Council of Alternative Medicine & Research India
A lineage holder trained under Grandmaster Xu Yong Liang
This level of expertise ensures you receive safe, authentic, and personalized care.
2. Choose Local, But Don’t Compromise on Quality
Many cities in Karnataka now have massage centers claiming to offer “Chinese therapy.” But not all of them are legitimate TCM clinics.
Here’s what to check:
Do they specialize in TCM, or just offer it as one of many services?
Is the practitioner present on-site and involved in your therapy?
Are sessions tailored based on your condition, or just the same routine for everyone?
💡 If you’re near Karwar, Goa, or willing to travel from Bengaluru or Mumbai, Choy Li Fat Hung Sing Tang is a trusted name known for delivering true Traditional Chinese Medicine—not spa-style imitation.
3. Ask About Their Diagnostic Approach
In TCM, healing begins with understanding your energy system.
A skilled TCM practitioner won’t just ask about your symptoms—they’ll observe your:
Pulse and tongue
Breathing patterns
Emotional state
Sleep and digestion habits
This is part of the whole-body approach that makes TCM so effective.
4. Check for Communication and Comfort
You should feel safe, heard, and guided—not rushed or confused.
A good TCM therapist will:
Explain your treatment plan clearly
Listen to your needs and pain points
Adjust pressure or technique based on your feedback
Educate you about aftercare and long-term improvement
At our center, we always encourage clients to speak openly during the session so we can adjust the therapy in real-time for the best experience.
5. Consider Their Specialties
Each TCM therapist has their strengths. Some focus on pain relief, others on emotional healing, digestion, or insomnia.
Sifu Chaitanya Naik has helped hundreds of clients with:
Arthritis and joint pain
Stress-related fatigue
Low immunity
Muscle recovery and mobility
Chronic insomnia and anxiety
This deep focus helps build treatment plans that work—not just for today’s symptoms but for your long-term health.
⭐ Bonus Tip: Look at Client Testimonials and Word of Mouth
Reviews, testimonials, and referrals are powerful. If others in your area trust a practitioner, that’s a great sign.
