Tui Na Bodywork Massage
Tui Na (tuina) is an Oriental Bodywork Therapy that has been used in China for 2,000 years. It uses the Traditional Chinese Medicinal theory of the flow of Qi through the meridians as its basic therapeutic orientation.
Through the application of massage and manipulation techniques, Tui Na seeks to establish a more harmonious flow of Qi through the system of channels and collaterals, allowing the body to naturally heal itself.
External herbal poultices, compresses, liniments and salves are also used to enhance the other therapeutic methods.

Tui Na is now being popularized in this country as a powerful therapeutic extension of traditional western massage methods. Its simplicity and focus on specific problems, rather than a more generalized treatment, make it both an excellent alternative and/or extension of the Swedish style massage.
By utilizing treatments of shorter duration, it can be used in a variety of settings, including home, office, clinic or hospital. It is well suited for both the professional massage therapist or the active, health conscious individual.
