Tui Na is a form of TCM therapeutic massage or bodywork that originated in China over 2000 years ago. It is one of the five branches of TCM and is considered a type of External Medicine.
It is performed using special massage techniques, where a TCM practioner's palms, fingertips and knuckles are used to knead, roll, brush, press or rub your body to remove blockages along the meridian acupoints in order to stimulate Qi and blood flow which promotes balance and healing.
Tuina is used to enhance the immune system, relieves pain and aches, relieves stress and tension in the body, helps the blood circulate, and stimulates the body’s natural healing processes.
