tuina:
Tui na is a type of massage therapy often used in conjunction with acupuncture and herbalism in the practice of traditional Chinese medicine. Tui na (pronounced "twee naw") translates into “pinch and pull,”
.
How tuina works:
Tui na is based on the traditional Chinese medicine theory of qi, which is a life force energy that flows through channels in the body called meridians. The practice incorporates acupressure techniques to bring the body into balance, remove obstructions in energy pathways and increase the body’s vital energy.
