WHAT IS TUI-NA (CHINESE MEDICAL MASSAGE)?
Tui-na is a form of Chinese Medical massage, developed over 2,000 years ago, that uses the same theory of energetic "channels" or "meridians" as acupuncture. Tui-na is one of the five branches of TCM. It involves the stimulation of acupuncture points and channels together with stretching and manipulation of limbs. By restoring balance, Tui-na supports the body's natural functions to combat excess or deficient conditions as needed. It keeps the Qi and blood moving freely, strengthens tendons/ligaments and muscles, promotes normal function, and eliminates fatigue.
