Tui Na

 

Tui Na makes use of various hand techniques in combination with acupuncture and other manipulation techniques. Many of the techniques such as gliding, kneading, rubbing, vibration, tapping, friction, pulling, rolling, pressing and shaking, combined with acupressure techniques, are applied to directly affect the flow of Qi at different acupuncture points of the body, thus facilitating the healing process.

 

Tui na is not generally used for pleasure and relaxation, but rather as a treatment to address specific patterns of disharmony. As such, practitioners use it for many of the same reasons and according to the same principles as acupuncture. Like acupuncture, TCM uses Tui Na to harmonize yin and yang in the body by manipulating the Qi in the acupuncture channels. It removes the blockages and keeps the energy moving through the channels as well as the muscles.

 

Benefits of Tui Na

 

Tui Na can include soft tissue massage, manipulation, acupressure in conjunction with herbal compresses, ointments, liniments, and heat. The best part of the therapy is that it relaxes as well as energizes the person. The main benefit of Tui Na massage is that it focuses on the specific problem, whether it is an acute or a chronic pain associated with the joints, muscles or a skeletal system. This technique is very beneficial in reducing pain in the neck, shoulders, hips, back, arms, highs, legs and ankles. It is a very effective therapy for arthritis, pain, sciatica, and muscle spasms. Other benefits of this massage therapy include alleviation of the stress related disorders like insomnia, constipation, headaches and other disorders related to digestive, respiratory and reproductive systems.
