WHAT IS TUINA MASSAGE (meaning Push & Grasp) ?
Tuina massage is a recognized form of treatment for a wide range of health problems. Tuina works on the energy channels and points, using the same principles as Acupuncture- except that the hands and fingers are used rather than needles. By using a wide variety of techniques (soft or hard, superficial or deep, general or more precise, slow or fast, etc) the practitioner can balance up the Qi energy, the vital substances, and the internal organs on which the health of a person’s body and mind depend. Like all forms of massage, many of the effects of Tuina are brought simply by its function of simulating the flow of Qi, blood and the body fluids. Many of our health problems are caused by blockages in these vital substances, leading to pain, swelling, a build-up of toxins, and other symptoms.
