What is Tuina – A Chinese medical massage therapy?
Tuina, bodywork therapy, was developed in China over 5,000 years ago. Similar to acupuncture, tuina works with the system of meridians and pressure points to balance the Qi energy of the patient and bring about a balanced state of health. Unlike acupuncture, with tuina no needles are used. The work is done entirely with the therapist’s hands to help increase the flow of Qi through the meridian system. Most patients find tuina very relaxing. It is often combined with acupuncture to relax the patient and increase circulation.
