Chinese Tui Na Massage
Tui-Na is a type of therapy based on TCM theories of Zang-Fu organs and meridians, but it also combines the anatomy and pathological diagnosis from Western medicine. Like acupuncture, Tui-Na involves the stimulation of specific points of the body that reach meridians. The main difference is that acupuncture uses needling techniques, whereas Tui -Na uses Chinese massage and manipulation techniques. Some common techniques include: gliding, kneading, rolling, pressing, pulling, chopping, and vibrating. Tui-Na helps promote the blood circulation of the body and enhances the qi blood supply. Tui-Na is used to treat a variety of pain, musculoskeletal syndromes, and digestive, respiratory and reproductive system disorders.
