What is difference between Tui Na and other kinds of massage therapies?
A. As one of traditional Chinese medical treatments, Tui Na (Chinese bodywork) differs in several significant ways from Western-style massage therapies. The most obvious difference is that Tui Na was basically created thousands years ago to treat paediatric problems, orthopaedic and other medical conditions, while western style massage therapies focuses on muscular and soft tissue injuries as well as on general relaxation. Tui Na had played a major role in treating paediatric problems before occidental medicine was introduced into China in order for young children to overcome difficulty of taking Chinese herbs or accepting acupuncture needles.
