What is Tui Na?
Tui Na, or Chinese medical massage, is a traditional hands-on therapy rooted in TCM theory, employing manual manipulations to treat a wide range of ailments, including musculoskeletal disorders and internal organ diseases. The techniques used can vary from gentle to firm, with the name derived from two key actions: "tui," meaning "to push," and "na," meaning "to lift and squeeze." Additional techniques include shaking and tapotement.
An ancient form of bodywork similar to sports massage, Tui Na utilizes various methods to address both acute and chronic conditions. This holistic practice focuses on balancing the body's energy, improving circulation, and relieving muscle tension to promote overall wellness and restore harmony. By integrating techniques such as kneading, rolling, and acupressure, Tui Na aims to enhance both physical and energetic health.
