How does Tui Na work?
Tui Na, pronounced “tweeh-nah”, is based on the same principles as acupuncture. It utilizes the vital life energy abundant in all living things, called Qi, to promote health and balance within the body. When the qi is moving disharmoniously, imbalance begins to surface in the form of specific symptoms. To address the underlying cause of a condition, these symptoms are viewed in relationship to the totality of a person. Various points along the channels of energy in the body are chosen and stimulated using various degrees of pressure. When the channels are cleared, symptoms subside.
