Tui Na

Tui Na is an ancient form of Chinese physical therapy, some 2000 years old. "Tui Na" combines the names of two of the hand techniques.  "Tui" meaning "to push" and "Na" meaning "to lift and squeeze".  This modality uses traction, massage and manipulation in conjunction with the stimulation of acupressure points. It is used to treat, or complement the treatment of, many conditions including musculo-skeletal disorders and chronic stress-related disorders of the digestive, respiratory, and reproductive systems.

Tui Na uses the traditional Chinese medical theory of the flow of  vital energy "Qi"through the meridians as its basic therapeutic orientation.  Through the application of massage and manipulation techniques Tui Na seeks to establish a more harmonious flow of Qi through the system of channels and collaterals, allowing the body to heal itself naturally.

Tui Na is a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine and is based on a sophisticated understanding of the flow of vital energy  through channels (meridians) in the body. This energy is channeled and stimulated through the application of acupressure, moxibustion, cupping therapy, and the use of traditional herbs.

Tui Na, Chinese Medical Massagehas a long history of clinical studies showing efficacy in treating chronic and acute medical problems. Tui Na uses finger pressure to activate the various points. Tui Na is effective in relieving pain and stress, stimulating the immune system and/or balancing organ systems for healing.
